Yes- Milltek emailed me to me saying November
Itll be pricey FABIAN you know that!

There is a very good reason for the Milltek high flow sport cat downpipes being what is considered "expensive" Milltek use the best Motorsport catalytic converters, these are HJS, and when you factor the cost of the HJS catalytic converter and the cost of the development, then really you are getting quality with proven Motorsport technology (HJS catalytic converters) for your money.

And if HJS catalytic converters and Milltek exhaust products are good enough and used by me, they should be given consideration by everyone else!

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRR....But Czar
Theres no point in manufacturing something thats marvellous, if hardly no-one buys it becasue its too costly!
Somewhat defeats the object
Better to manufacture something thats above adequate, at a good pricepoint, so that it sells for onward finance to develop

And Ive been told Iridium plugs are more trouble than theyre worth LOL

Milltek exhausts or HJS catalytic converters are not too costly, they are industry leaders within their respective fields, due to huge world wide sales year on year.

And would you like to enlighten me on the troublesome issues with the Iridium spark plugs ? There will be a very simple and logical explanation.

[Chris_Blue]

Oh- right, not too costly. Thats good.

Yes- the spark gets blown out in comparison to the OEM plugs
No matter- have seen your previous posts on it

Firstly the OEM spark plugs are Platinum, now in my previous posts on spark plugs you will have seen in the thermal/electrical conductivity chart, that Iridium has better thermal and more importantly (in this case) electrical conductivity than Platinum, so why have you heard that the spark is being blown out ?

Common issues:

Weak electrical generation within the coil over pack.

Incorrect electrode air gap.

Damaged spark plug/faulty, from being dropped or over tightening, always apply the correct amount of tightening torque.

Lean fuel condition within a given individual cylinder.

Partially blocked fuel injector spray holes from carbon deposit.

Loose carbon fouling the spark plug electrode.

If/when the spark fails, the piston/s should be fine as any responsible owner will feel the misfire and act accordingly, driving with a misfire will result in the unburnt fuel igniting in the catalytic converter resulting in a melt down and can in extreme cases lead to under bonnet fires or total vehicle loss from the resulting catalytic converter fire!

PS: if you don't like either the OEM Platinum or Iridium spark plug, I can sell you some spark plugs I use when I run my MINI on track, they come in heat range 8,9 and 10 and will cost you £120.00 per spark plug.

With a lot of engines in today's cars when a misfire is detected in a cylinder, fuel injection is cut on that particular to protect further damage to the cat....
Been running iridium since having the car, and its never missed a beat
£120 per plug... wow! How long do they last Czar?

Like anything else whenever you go racing they are simply part of the expendable consumables, like tyres, brake linings, brake fluid, engine oil, gearbox oil, fuel/oil/air filters, and so the spark plugs I use on track are evaluated after a session/race and changed accordingly to their condition when subject to an electrical test, so the spark plugs are always refreshed with a new set each and every time I do a track day/practice or race.

I must get a set of those plugs....oh.....and maybe a spare set too
Will just go dig out the GOLD Amex!

I look forward to your order I will also supply you with the necessary technical data and back up support.

Jamie at SPT

Czar- youre a marvel. Do you do part exchange for a set of 4 Iridium plugs I inadvertently bought?:redface:

Nice meeting you today Jamie SPT Tuning- very helpful chat bout all things DS3. Youre place looks spick and span.

Hope to put some work your way soon- handy youre near MAGNA

Wanna sort my Cat out first. May even come back for that- we'll see

Waiting for Hangar to launch the DS3 Sub-site, and what sort of downpipe/sportscat unit they can advise to replace OEM

Oh- and see what Miltek comes out with
