the length of your gap changes the size of the spark. You should also always re-gap the plugs besause the same plugs will fit different engines that require a different gap.

i got the NGK v-power specifically for my car. i put them in an hour ago, and took it for a little boot, my car seems to drive a hell of a lot smoother after hitting the gas....who knows though, my mx3 is a lemon in need of miata love.

thanks for the reply...i was reading about people having oil on them and stuff, and it freaked me out, so i went out, got new ones just to find out.
