[b]The driver handbook listed down the degree for the spark plug. If I remember it right, it is 6 degreee.

Arer you referring to the timing? The spark plug needs to be gapped to a certain tolerance. Because of the very fine electrode, you are supposed to tap the metal grounding part little by little to get the gap distance, otherwise improper use of the gap tool could damage the fine electrode. Also the Denso plugs in the States arer quite expensive $59 for a set of 4.

Dinlo, check out the Magnecor spark plug wirers which are available from Moss-MINI. They cost US$59.95 for a set of 4. The Nology should be about the same price.
