2435.0. "SplitFire Spark Plugs?" by SAC::KERRISON_G (Open air Martini drinker) Tue Aug 01 1995 12:07


	Hello out there


	I've seen reports and adverts in a couple of magazines on SplitFire
	spark plugs (for both car and Motorcycles) - with claims for 
	better performance, better ecomony, and better (reduced) emissions
	- through better burning of the fuel/air mixture...(i think)


	These plugs ARE expensive though. 

	
	Does anyone out there have a Phone number for the UK distributor
	so that I can see if they do plugs for my vehicle?


	Ta

    Hi Gary,
          You will probably be able to buy a set of these plugs at your
    nearset Halfords shop, or from a local motor factors. 
          I think they are about 30 pounds a set.
          As to whether they actually benefit your engine performance-wise
    or fuel economy wise, I'm not really convinced that they are worth the
    cost. My friend runs a J plate 205 GTI 1.6 and he fitted them a couple
    of months ago. So far he hasn't noticed any performance increase or
    better fuel economy. Fortunately he didn't pay for them, otherwise he
    would have been quite upset.
          Don't want to put you off or anything!
    
    Cheers,

    Gary,
       Here is the 'phone number for the importer for the spark plugs.
    
    G.P. AUTOMOTIVE
    
    01562  67610
    
    I think it is a north of England number.
    
    Hope this helps.
