NGK VS. BOSCH-----MY STORY

04-18-2001, 11:16 PM

Well, here I was writing all kinds of posts talking about my crazy idle. I had installed what I thought were great plugs. (Hey they worked on my Crxs). My car had been idling funny like up and down at lights and stuff and shutting off when I would start it cold.
I tried everything to cure this. I yanked out all emissions, (egr and bpt), did a hellified tune-up and nothing seemed to help. With the egr gone however I saw a big difference. But still idling funny. So while running credit checks at my job at Verizon, I thought, F**k it. I'm buying Ngk plats and see if that helps. So 55 bucks later and after my Big Chicken sandwich was devoured, I put my NGK platinum "R"s on. And fellas, AINT THIS A BITCH, THE G-DAMN SH*T IS RUNNING LIKE A DREAM!!!!! OH MY GOD! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! The engine was so smooth that I kept looking at my tach to make sure it was on. My pedal had no vibration like before. And then came the good part. When I finally floored it, that tach needle just ate up them RPMs like I porn queen deep throating some.....oh nevermind. BUT HEY, I AM SO HAPPY!! IM SORRY I EVER DOUBTED ANYBODY!!!!
MY SE-R IS KICKIN ASS NOW MOTHERF*CKERS!!!!
YYYYEEEEAAHHHH!!!!!!

I thought someone would have told ya. The stock NGK's are the ONLY plug you should ever look at, aside from crazy boosters like Jay. LOL very rarely does the emission stuff affect the idle. Usualy when you have surgeing and stuff while at part throttle crusing. Until the EGR valve really bites the dust there is really no reason to remove it. And well we all need to do a little bit to help save our environment, im not a hippy tree hugger but why defeat the emissions for really no reason.

Funny, I've run regular Bosch Platinums for 150,000 miles and have never had a problem.

well, if you ever get the chance, try putting some NGK's in there. See if you notice any difference. I seriously can't believe what it did for me.
****just try it********
