^ +1 on the Mobile 1 Oil, and filter. Also just had a new set of Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's installed on the rear wheels... Talk about grip.. I can't for the life of me get the VDC to kick on from a dead stop without turning. At first I thought my clutch was slipping cause I didn't hear any tires squealing and no slip light. Also got some 1500 and 2000 grit wet sanding paper and a rubber block to restore my headlights later today. This weather is spot on.

Just checked my gas mileage after my plug change.

I was getting 18MPG before the new plugs. Now I am getting 21MPG!

Needless to say I am a happy camper!! :-)

those are really nice wheels... I like them. Forgive me if I am a bit out of the loop, you sold your G so what are you driving now?

also what is the differnce in the iridium and the platinum plugs? Which are better to go with for a N/A Daily Driver?

The wheels are made exponentially more awesome by the blanket that they are sitting on top of!

The iridium are a harder metal and last a bit longer and give a more consistent spark.
