I imagine few auto parts stores stock them, they usually charge more if they have to special order. I just installed new plugs a couple weeks ago so it may be awhile before I try them. I get about 50-60 hours on a set of leading plugs before the electrode wears, using mogas. Then I get the SAG. Perry Never tried them, Perry. I also run the standard 7/9 and get approx 25-30 hour before lead fouling. I'll have to see if any of the auto parts stores stock them. Probably not cheap.

Through a little googling I found out there are hotter plugs available for the RX-7. Standard 2nd gen plugs are BUR7EQ leading and BUR9EQ trailing.

I expect the hotter plugs may have shorter life, but might do better burning through 100LL deposits?

Hi Ed,
On the Mazdatrix site it looks like they are only about 50% more. I imagine few auto parts stores stock them, they usually charge more if they have to special order. I just installed new plugs a couple weeks ago so it may be awhile before I try them. I get about 50-60 hours on a set of leading plugs before the electrode wears, using mogas. Then I get the SAG.
