    Here's a couple panning shots from Automotion. Have only had time to quickly edit these two. Got a lot more but no time to sit down and work with them.

    Has anyone bought spark plugs for the TSI engine at a store around here? Is there any price difference between the VW dealers/Audi dealer? Or were any of you able to find them for less money at an auto store. I'm looking for the NGK Iridium OEM plugs.

    Check this thread!
    Spark plug and coil thread!

    Also, gap them very carefully!!!! Easily damaged!! I put mine at .030.

    Got them (PFR7S8EG platinium) from Bumper to Bumper warehouse on the East side.
    Part number for Iridium is BKR7EIX I think.

    when gapping the iridium or platinum plugs you cannot use a wedge or step gapper. you have to use a blade gapper (like what yo uuse fro settign valve clearances) and be very careful not to mess up the electrode. but orielly shoudl have them, I know the store in fort does.

    Thanks guys. I actually found the NGK Iridium plugs on Amazon for $30 for all 4, and I have Amazon Prime so it's free 2 day shipping and I'll get them Saturday. Who's up for a spark plug installing party because I sure as hell don't have the tools at my apartment. I'll even throw in a nice case of O'Douls!

    Hey, I still buy Champion. Just, you know, for my lawn mower.

    Was at automotion, saw both of those gtr's. One parked next to us for the burnout pit around 530, but left soon after. Had no spoiler and a cf trunk, think it was white maybe. There was a white supra there too. Some guy in a mk3 jetta gl was driving around too
