    Is there anyone known or ever used this spark plug for your Ferrari? I am quite interesting about it but I can find nowhere here in Taiwan who sell it.
    Any help will be appreciated!

    Best Regards

    I've switched to Iridium plugs in my 3.2 Mondial as ,in the US, the Platinum plugs are no longer available from NGK. They seem to work just fine. I purchased them from a local auto supply store. Good luck.

    Thanks!
    I found them in the follow website -http://www.theautopartsstore.com/.
    The only problem is they won't ship it to Taiwan. God, I really don't knew why!

    Chenshan -- Shipping to your location may still be a problem, but you can also try:

    www.clubplug.net

    as a possible source.

    I'm not an international shipping expert but, have you asked them WHY they won't ship to Taiwan? Am I missing something?

    Tom -- I'm not involved with a lot of international shipping, but IME it can get "complicated". The basic problem is the expense and forms -- it's like real estate, where not only does the country/gov't where the goods are going into take a nice-$ cut for itself, you've got "brokers" involved on both sides of the transaction (in addition to the shipper) and much more paperwork. Sometimes the big shippers have their own internal brokerage connections which helps, and when you're doing it regularly (with items/quanities that don't vary much so that the forms/values don't get so over-scrutinized by incoming Customs) it can be OKish -- but for a smallish company like Clubplug, I'm not surprised.

    Just as a side note, I find it somewhat laughable that people complain about, or want to stop, "globalization" -- we don't need to resist globalization; we need to update international commerce laws and practices to reflect that goods don't move by sailing ship anymore ;)

    It's bother me quite a lot also. I don't know the reason why.
    I used to buy things from Hill Engineering and Maranello Auto Sales, no problem with them and i got the merchandise here in Taiwan quite soon.
    I guess I still have to find another one willing to do so, but where is it?
