    As title I'm thinking of putting some upgraded hotter spark plugs in my mk2 vtr as when it's cold mainly in morning it missfires and stutter like fuck when driving but when it's warm it's fine and don't miss a beat plus hotter plugs are ment to help burning the the fuel that much better, so what make is best?

    Cheers matt

    Never bought into the whole performance spark plug thing. Just get some new standard ones if your having trouble with your old ones.

    i bought some NGK ones i cant say that ive seen much difference with them but they have been proven to improve cars with a sporting pedigree but if its just an old banger 1.1 then theres no point just buy standard spark plugs

    The only thing better about them is they give a better more consistent spark for longer!!!

    You won't gain any performance from it

    Just use standerd plugs and change at the required intervals
