just called the spare parts dealer. S$180 for a set of the new version of stock plugs. NGK
its NGK RE7CL and NGK RE9BT. 2 each. supposed to be iridium plugs. Else you can try RX7 plugs which some say are fine as well. The only difference i could see is that thr RX7 plugs BUR-7EQP has a shorter reach of 19mm vs 21mm for the RE7CL. both the RE9BT and BUR-9EQP have the same dimensions. RX7 plugs are USD$7.60 each and available from www.sparkplugs.com. They are normal platinum plugs

Hold on a second, I thought spark plugs were $3-$10 each. Four spark plugs = $12-$40 for a set.
How did you end up paying $180?

Rotary spark plugs are expensive and are recomended to change ard 30,000 to 35,000km. We do not have to change every servicing. Using back the original NGK plugs is the best.

Hi All,
I wouldn't say its bad to use DEnso...i think its quite subjective...
I used to use denso and now i am using NGK....so far not much of a diff. ...of cos price play a big part...comparing $180 to $240....overall the function of the spark plug is basically to combust the A/F , hence i guess you can base on which spark plugs give you the highest firing power, which one will be more durable, price etc.....

wow bro, you pay only $240 for Denso Iridium huh?? that is really a gd price man i thought i have already got a good deal at $255.
BTW is there a diff between Denso Iridium(yellow packaging) and the Denso Racing Iridium (Bluish Packaging)??
Anyway IMHO, i have just change to Denso Racing Iridium, so far the only difference is abit smoother only lor but the price to pay is $255

i am not sure wats the diff btw the packaging ......
but if you want to improve your performance ...try using Spark amplifier like Ignite rev or HKS twin power.....on the other hand you can re tune your ignition timing or get a good spark plug wire (ie: 2 that i highly recommend , RE sprk plug cable and R magic. If you have the budget try Fujita ones ...not bad too)

I have the Fujita Engineering (rebadged NGK racing) spark plugs.
I have their spark plug cord too.
I have my review on those plug when the car is having hesitation on high revs (~9000rpm). It is solved and I found the plugs need to be cleaned if not changed.
details here https://www.rx8club.com/australia-new-zealand-forum-37/hesitation-high-rev-found-solution-87376/

Also do these help combat the cold start, moving the car two metres , turning the engine off and then be the victim of flooding that so many RX8 owners have experienced including myself last week!
Thanks for searching though.
