    this is what they would have you believe, however, as far as spark plugs and the E3 'diamondfire' set up goes, when you look at how electricity conducts itself, you come to realize something:
    electricity flows to the path of least resistance. so what if you have 3 points for that spark to arc to, its gonna jump to the same point 9 times outta ten. as the plug gets older, that point will start to become dirty and thus less condusive to the electricity. At which point your spark will arc to another point with less resistance. when that point gets dirty, "oh hey look! that last point has very little resistance! im gonna arc thataway!"
    it really is just a longer life design as compared to the average spark plug.

        I personally think it gave the car just a bit more eagerness, it also seemed to smooth out the idle.

        Over at Mazdas247 they told me it was all in my head, which it could be, cuz it was only a minute difference.

          both of those things can be easily explained: they are brand new plugs! of course they are gonna be better than your old worn out ones!

                  Thanks man, I had the emblem laying around from a previous project. Unfortunately this grille does not fit too well (Ebay special) so what Im gonna do is take a stock grille and cut out the honeycomb part and lay grille mesh behind it with this emblem on it. I think this plan will work much better.
