Spark plugs

Hello all, I'm new to rotary engines, and I know this is in the FAQs somewhere..
But i need a definate recommendation of new spark plugs for my 12a.
I bought this just a few weeks ago, havent drivin it much yet, but I took a look around and noticed it has a RB header, and NGK spark plug wires, but not NGK spark plugs..

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for the friendly welcome, the car runs well, but I'm sure it would run better with NGK plugs, previous owner had no-name installed I believe..
I was reading, and there appears to be different types of plugs from NGK avaliable for the 12a.. and I dont know which ones are best for me..
Pic is attatched! It needs a little body work and paint, but other than that, its awesome

I hope to soon get some outdoor pics, the garage is a bit dark

Thanks

Edit: I attatched the wrong pic.. there we go

Very nice. More pics are a must LOL. 4 prong plugs are best. How many miles are on it?

Previous owner had the motor rebuilt at sometime, unsure on the miles since then, though

Very awesome. Mine is going black as well, but with significantly more body work/modifications than your's LOL. Any plans with full exhaust or porting?

Magnaflow, Borla, Racing Beat, all good mufflers. You should upgrade to the FC ignition and oil cooler. Just to help run a lot better

I use exclusively Nippon Denso plugs, they are great, hint keep a spare set at all times, and change the fuel filter now and then every 3000 miles.

NGK seems to be the concensus favorites. IIRC, BR9EQ14 and BR8EQ14. I'm experimenting with Autolite 2626, which may last longer and be more foul-resistant since they have an annular electrode. They used to be cheaper, too, but the price is creeping up. The key issue is that the electrode must not project into the swept chamber, or it will clip the apex seal.
