I'm suprised at how well the car was actually working to be honest with you... these plugs showed age for sure... they were definitely in need of replacing. The factory F's held up just fine in my opinion... I just noticed harder cold starts than normal... especially the other day when it almost didn't start after sitting for 4 days.
Changing of the plugs is a piece of cake... didn't take long at all, wires should be in tomorrow or monday, in which case I'll be done with this for now. I will worry about replacing them again if and or when issues come up again.
BTW, do the FRPP 9mm wires fit in the factory wire looms? I hope so, I really like how the wires are routed.
