1) Yep, 91 and up.
2) Yep, synthetic every 3-5k miles.
3) Search for a recent thread about gapping spark plugs and it will tell you which plugs stock vs. if youre chipped.

 

gas-use premium, 91 or 93
oil- i use snthetic, change every 3k like every other car
spark plugs-run oem or platinum tips, but if u gota 1.8t dont get platnium plugs, they melt from the heat
nice car, you keep car of your car it will take care of u

 

Haha! Another member in NJ. Like rabbits I tell ya. Very nice looking ride you've got.

For the lip spoiler, most have an M3 lip spoiler. It's the exact same size and it looks good.

How many miles does it have? Has the timing belt been done?

 

Congrats! For plugs I would go with NGK BKR7e's for summer.

 

nice... another 2.8r!

 

well....it has 114k on it but a brand new clutch....any suggestions as to what sparkplugs...also is changing the timing belt a hassle, i have a little experience with cars like changing the radiator , starter, alternator...stuff like that. also do i need to gap the plugs?


thanks everyone.

 

Most of the time they come pregapped, but you should always double check them.
