Just make out on the spark plug "Iri", Start of Iridium (I used to have some, Same Logo design)
HUGE topic over on CRX-UK few months back bout iridium plugs, They dont have any performance Value, They break easily and Glow WHITE hot. What your seeing there is what happens when a White hot Iridium tip drops off.
Just lucky that the tip didint melt through the piston and into the oil!

Bad luck! I'm glad last weekend I swapped my iridium NGK's for stock NGK's.
