What spark plugs is everyone running on in their MK2 Sportings 16v.

I recently took out the standard FIAT type (double head) and replaced them with the NGK DCPR8E-N, they are ones recommended in the FIAT manual.

They seem..... well pants!!

Anyone know where if and where I can get some performance ones, 3 or 4 heads? Or how much the FIAT ones cost from the dealership?

Halfords stock them, but don't list them for FIAT Punto 16v [xx(]

Cheers

dont buy anythin from halfords, i cant remeber the last time i got something that didnt break

On my Sporting MK2 original spark plugs was NGK DCPR8E-N(one head). Than I've put NGK DCPR8EKC(two heads) from Bravo 1.2 16V and I didn't saw any improvment with them. But before few days I've put NGK DCPR8EVX(with one platinum electrode) and my first impression is very good. Acceleration is better and much smouther. I also think thats fuel consumption is lower. My sugestion is go for them.
P.S. I've payed 38 euros for all 4 spark plugs.

Are the NGK DCPR8EVX listed for the Sporting MK2, or did you just go ahead with them anyway?

Anyone know of a UK supplier for these??

They are listed in NGK catalog as alternative(but recomended) spark plugs for Mk2 Sporting. They are also recomended for some Ferari and Maserati models.
Good luck

If they are good enough for Ferrari and Maserati then I'm sure they'll do just fine for a FIAT

Cheers.
