get sum bosch super 4's they are quite good, your car would be a mk2 nova, wot engine is it?? 1.2??

[Stuart]

erm bosch super 4's arent worth thr money. get a set of NGK type R's (only ?9.99 a set at the most)

and as for what mk it is, ive seen mk1 and i own a mk2 that are H plates (1991)

I've got a mk1 Hreg in the yard.

i wouldnt use super 4s .. i had em on my SR and it run rough .. had a mechanic look it over .. super 4s should be used on big engines i.e cossies and so on .. got Champions in there now .. loads better 8)

[Mark]

Anyone tried Splifire's?

[epo]

only on a fester and cos they were being sold off cheap

[Mark]

Did they work o.k?

what mk nova is erelivant. go to halfords and there is a book below the plugs with what plugs you need. get NGK-R's iv never had any probs

Ok my turn to put spanner in works. I dont pay for me plugs or when i do its very little in comparison. BUT i'm afriad i run super 4's always have since i had my orange car, in this engine they have always seemed fine, i seen all the horror stories etc but never had a prob, and as for use on bigger engines like cossies etc etc :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: thats gotta be the best yet

I think at end of day its what you think the engine likes best, ngk are very much advised and i have to agree, i use super 4's cos i feel they suit mine best. Its a personal thing :!:

[Dicko]

but your running very high comp dan!!

[Dan]

I am now but even when this engine lived in my orange nova in its original form of just cam and head with ord bottom end and injection it preferred the ones i use lol, strange but true, like i said i think its just a personal thing as no 2 engines behave the same :D

my 1400sr ran better on super 4's than ngk imo
starting was better as was top end

Its a 1.2 merit, ill just go for the NGK's then, prolly have to get some break fluid and a bleeding kit from halfords too so ill give it a few more days before i go buy em. Engines a bit rough just now (my first car so im going on the advice of my next door neighbour - sound fella) so new plugs wont hurt, come to think of it ive got a oil leak to think about too, then put some insurance on it, never ending story aint it :roll:
