Default New leads & plugs installed

Well i just finished installing my new leads and plugs today and must say i expected no noticable diffrence but was suprised that the car feels alot smoother through midrange. :
I decided to go all out for the girl and buy her a 6 new ngk platium plugs, and a set of topgun pro-series 8.8mm stainless steel spiral wire leads!!!! :Reverend:

And i dont regret the choice on the leads over off the shelf stock!!!!

Leads were ordered in by repco $90.00
Spark plugs cost $106 from supercheap

Not a bad investment i would say since both say i should get around 60k out of them or more
