I was just looking on the Z board and it says the coppers are fine to run if you enjoy changing your plugs quite often. Most guys like the platinums for their typical longer life cycle. But Andy’s car hates him so it is no surprise that when he worked on it alone without someone helping him that his car is now angered. ---

I don’t see whats the big deal…I don’t he drives enough each summer to do multiple plug changes…Run copper change the plugs once a year…1.99-2.99 a plug and a couple hours of your time for better performance? ---

[quote=“90NA300ZX”"] So i decided it was time to change the plugs, especially since i haven’t since the swap (a lot of miles ago). I had purchased Iridiums a while ago that members of NYSpeed discouraged me from using, but several Z board members said they’re great… [/quote] We’ve been through this over and over.
