Re: [DML] spark plug update

["Tom" <tomcio@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I have installed a set of new Bosch platinum plugs (single electrode) in my
car. The center electrode is very thin, almost like a pin and it doesn't
stick out over the ceramic insulator. I can't say a bad word about them.
After the instalation the car runs very smooth, never misses and the
response to the gas has improved. Additionally I think that the car has more
power and better accelleration. I've never tried the +4 so I can't say about
them but the ones with single platinum electrode are just great. Give 'em a
try Rob. I think you'll like them.

Take care everyone!
