Maintenance---so far i have changed the air filter and most recently the spark plugs.I would say this is the best mod you can do to maintane peak power. Although its not really a mod it makes a big difference to keep on top of the servicing.Thankgod forthe write up on changing the spark plugs dont fancy doing that again in a hurry.Yet again i fell foul of the the garage trick that they service the full car before you pick it up,my arse they do.I recommend doing this if you have just bought a used car then you know where you stand.Some pics below of old plugs and gasket part number for future reference.If the plugs weren't correctly installed would there be any obvious signs.Everything seems smooth and running ok and power looks good, so hopefully everything has goneback together ok.

Yup

My plugs were like that when i changed mine a month or so ago.

My gasket was ok, but i bunged in one of those phelonic (sp?) gaskets instead.

what are the advantages of a phelonic gasket?

I think it prevents heat transfer from the block to the manifold, thus keeping any air entering the engine cooler (by keeping the inlet manifold a bit cooler).

It was a group buy a while back, i think it was Zentac who sorted it out.
