Where in Austria are you? I am in Germany right now. As far as spark plugs, I just use the OEM bosch. You can get them from a dealer near you.

Yes. And I don't know the NGK part number for the wires. As I'm using a set of Accell's

Get the Plat NGK plugs.

Just add a P to each part number.

I switched out from standards and it smoothed out the idle a lot, and just all around made the car run much better... and for $1.50 per plug it's worth it.

Also run the NGK wires. They are awesome!

Yep, NGK BUR9EQP are the platnums. You can also get Iridiums (BR9EIX) but you have to get a special spark plug socket to get them on, so its not worth it unless you got one for cheap (like me). I get the iridiums for 7 or 8 a piece, so plats should be even less.

My car when I first got it ran rough..I replaced the NGK's..(7&9..leading and trailing)..with the platinums..runs nice....I got Bosch wires ..they are fine so far..(1k on them)..total for the wires and plugs just over $100 Canadian..price of plugs varies around here ..from one side of town to the other is a $4.00 difference!!!..so turns out the cheapest is just 2 blocks down..and the store would have been the last place I would have thought about..so a little foot work paid off!

Personally, I consider the NGK Iridiums (BR9EIX) to be worth the hassle of using a modified plug socket. Mine is just a snowmobile plug wrench that is shaven down a bit.

A much better plug that the stockers, the Iriduim tip just lasts longer.

Yeah I replaced all my plugs and my wires for $50 us all brand new. It's the single greatest thing I've done to this car.
