if youve done the coilpack or main pack then do it...there is no point in upgrading just a spark plug by itself...with out the upgraded leads & coils it will still do the same old thing...upgrade coilpacks will send through more volts...the one for the mini im looking at upgrades it from 32,000 to 40,000 & with upgraded leads & plugs will make a difference not hugh but noticable on a dyno i think...

random q... aimed at phildough... have you progressed in the hunt for digital radio antennas. my reception is pretty average, dead spots are about 2seconds in the ICB which is better than expected actually, but on a trip to toowoomba which has no reception at all it barely got out of brizzy/ipswich before cutting in/out... i want a bigger antenna like the 4wds have haha...

Short of that, could someone with an SP do a quick measure of it please?
Can anyone tell me this please?

If that was aimed at me, it's in the engine bay. It's on the left when you follow the air intake pipe up to the intake manifold.

and would i have to know the mazda paint code or is "noble green" sufficient?

There's a place at Boolaroo called 'Newcastle Auto Abrasives' that mixes paint up. I'm fairly sure they are still there. The paint code would probably help but i'm sure they'd have it on file.

Other than that I used to get pressure packs made up at Pep Parts but fairly sure they are no longer around.
