Sorry, that wasn't aimed specifically at you - just a general piece of advice to people that they should check the gap when they install plugs regardless.

Don't need xray vision when you're omnipotent... :)

(EDIT: But not so omnipotent that I can't miss an apostrophe when posting from my phone).

How dare you miss an apostrophe. I've lost all respect for you.

You missed the perfect opportunity to say "loose an apostrophe" then.

I wonder if I should check my breaks too...

If you trust the gap on a plug when it comes out of the box, you're not doing it right.

Most plugs gap up right straight of the bat, if doing a stock car I'll look at them stick 2 on each other one upside down and check fast like that. Ill gap mine as mine might be gapped different because it's highly modified

Owen would know most are gapped good to go

Going on Owens recommendation here as to which plugs

^ buy a set of NGKs that are listed for your car (SILFR6A) and they will come pregapped (or LFR7AIX) if your car is pushing more power than factory.

Hard to find the LFR Subaru couldn't help me
