The only NGK copper plugs available for the IX are a heat range hotter and are from a Yamaha outboard. The iridiums seem to work very well in the Evos (as my stock ones with 46k miles prove). I just hope these Densos are as reliable and long-lasting as the stock NGK's.

A little extra carbon fiber to go along with the COP plate:

I got a new harness with black braided fiberglass wire sheath instead of the gray silicone sheath :D I also had the harnesses extended to get the plugs off the top of the valve cover.

Looks purty! I love the look of a leak free engine bay!

Its tough to tell in the pictures but its very noticeable in person. The silicone sheaths were the one thing I thought looked cheap about these kits, but this braided sheath looks much nicer (plus its black rather than gray).

Well, Teh Gheyrod has been a bit of a whore these past two week but I think we're past the pain and it once again loves me.

Two Fridays again it was spewing coolant out of the rubber turbo coolant feed hose which luckily O'Reilly had a replacement hose that fit nearly perfectly for $10. Its a small 3/8" molded 90-degree bend with a few inch long legs.

This past Friday coming home from work doing about 80mph down the tollway I was slowing down for traffic and lost a lot of pressure in my brake pedal. I got the car slowed with some pumping of the pedal and down-shifting, but I left most my ATE Super Blue brake fluid all over the road. My front driver side stainless brake line had been lightly rubbing on the shock body and finally wore through and sprung a leak. I was able to slowly get the car home then Saturday I replaced the line with a spare stainless line I luckily had laying around. My friend brought me some Amsoil DOT4 brake fluid since he is a dealer and none of the shops that stock ATE Super Blue are open on the weekends. Amsoil DOT4 is actually slightly better fluid, but at 3x the price.

Wow, that's pretty scary about the brake line. Luckily you were able to get it slowed down.

When installing yours just be really careful with the fitment! The bracket in the center of the line is movable so make sure its located exactly where it needs to be in order for the line to not rub on anything. I learned the hard way (luckily not too harsh of a lesson) so hopefully my mistake can remind people to be careful and at least double-check their aftermarket brake lines.
