So I changed my spark plugs today....
Holy ****, I think I gained another 10 pounds of torque. The spark plugs looked like they were never changed. One spark plug even looked like it attacked by a drill press. (not really) But it had metal shavings pealing off it. Anyway, my car runs better than it ever has before.
I drive an N/A GXL btw.

Rotary engines EAT spark plugs LOL. I think the FSM tells you to change 'em every 30,000 miles, I do mine every 10,000 to 15,000 now, there's a good bit of "wear" on 'em even at that point (think the "spirited" driving we so enjoy has something to do with that?)

I do mine every other oil change.
I use the cheap NGK ones, 5 bucks a pop. Its better to get cheaper ones and replace them more frequently, rather then getting HKS ones that are like 30 bucks a pop and not being able to afford replacing them ever.

I bought mine off of mazdatrix for 9 dollars a plug. The mazda dealership wanted 12 dollars a plug. I was really not enjoying the money spending. Know any place online I get order them for 5 bucks a pop?
