Changed plugs today with the 9EIX NGK due to flashing to IE Stage 2 today with a 187mm crank pulley. Cars got 80k on the clock, and these may have been original. Bought car at 57k. Plugs were a lot easier than changing the crank pulley with clip on, haha. A few things,
1. I didnt have to remove the airbox. I just unattached both connecting tubes, and pushed out of the way to side. Didnt need to unclip any parts of the harness on pass. side
2. Biggest PIA was getting coils out in an 80k car. Use zip tie method and you wont risk damaging coils if theyre really set in there from time/miles
3. Push in male clip to coil first before pushing tab down with tip of screwdriver. It should slide out easy after that. If its not try pushing in harder before hitting tab
4. 22lbft torque
Took me 45min, but I was being slow. I could fly through it in 25min a second time. Easy job to do, dont pay someone to do it if youre somewhat handy
