    AFAIK the standard plugs and leads are ok.

      Yes, as long as the standard ones are in good condition they are spot on up to something like 300+ BHP.....

        Audiman might tell you that they are good for a little more than that.
        I suppose it depends whether you have a 3B or an ABY.

              Yes Tom was on standard, ABY doesn't leads.

              IIRC he's replaced them with leads from another car, can't remember what model though.

                Standard plugs are not the cheapest but they are still working well in the ~450bhp cars. Cheaper plugs tend to cause running problems.

                  I thought I was being clever and "upgraded" to NGK Iridium plugs Well, the car ran pretty badly - once I fitted new Bosch F5DPOR's it only started flying. Forget about fancy plugs - use the standard Bosch plugs until you get to 600 hp
