Poll: Spark Plug Change...How often?
I'm sure there is one of these around, but I looked, I promise.
Seems to me, my plugs are shot at about 10k on my N/A. I also have bad experience with running anything other than the BUR7EQ and BUR9EQ plugs.

Thanks for the replies and not calling me an ******* for not putting this in the polls section.
Although it IS 2G spec...
Just thought I'd put the poll up today because I'm well over 10k and recently my beast has been running a little rough (warm startups mainly).
Better change 'em before autoX this weekend!

10K is when I change mine, I think it's ok to go as long as 15K, but no more than that..
On the RX7 now, every 3 races is what I've budgeted.

Lately on my FD I've been changing them all the time. I only got 200 miles out of the last set....that's probably cause I let the car sit and they fouled out....oops.

Apparently, some people think the stock plugs are worth a lot of money.
