What did you do to your Spyder today?

How'd they look? Did they need replacing?

Here's what the plugs looked like at 57,000 miles. The central electrodes look great, there is some wear of the ground side electrodes. I wasn't having any issues but they were long past the recommended change interval. Based on previous spark plug discussions here, I think I made the right decision to wait until about 50,000 miles and then do them at my convenience.

Excellent, thanks for the report. I think you made the right decision.
Lots of work just to get to them.
I just replaced my air filter at 15k. It could have gone another 15k easily.

I swear, the first time I have to remove all that bodywork, I'm going to get rid of the stock airbox, and build a simpler cold air intake and filter system. I'd like to route it to place a cone filter in the area behind the grille.
I see quite a bit of intake air temperature rise in hot weather with the stock system.
