What milage & age are you changing plugs.. My car is 95% Street 15k on the clock. Is replacing the plugs necessary at this point?

Factory recommended interval is 24k miles or every 4 years.
That said i do mine yearly. This set had 1 year, about 3k miles on them, much of that on track. The center electrode showed some wearing, but overall were in good shape.
It's an inexpensive way to checkout how your car is running, too...
So if they have never been done, i'd highly recommend you change them.

Which Plugs do you use? Where do you get them?
Thanks

Thanks for the insightful post. I enjoy seeing your ride on Insta as well...always reminds me that I need to do more track days. You mention oil per 4 days - guessing you mean full track days there? I always did every 2 personally, but thought it might be overkill. Oh, and 57K miles here. :-)

Part number I listed above in post 4. I buy most of my Oem maintenance parts from rmeuropean.com and also pelican.

Nice! Yeah 4 or so give or take typical de days. If I'm running in really hot weather or doing open track days I may do it more often. Oil tests I run so far look ok and intervals are fine.

8200 or so when the light flashes. You can bounce the rev limited all day and not get over revs. If I get a chance I'll post an rpm graph from a track day.

Miss a shift, yep. Logged.

Made me look too, but I already knew the answer. Awesome car, doing what it loves to do.

Now get back under that 964! Love the detail in your threads.

More coming soon on the 964!!! Been enjoying it driving it (a lot).
But need to have it ready for later summer for more track time - which means the rest of the stuff I have planned (wing, front aero, LWFW, engine/trans mounts, exhaust, shifter, etc)

Got my black stone test back. Clean!
Wear metals and other indicators very consistent sample to sample.

Does all that servicing mean you're heading up north for Friday?
