Thanks for videoing this project, I've been watching them as I take my one apart.....

Oh Simon,

I have felt your pain with every challenge. You truly are a STAR for having overcome them all.
Can't believe that it was last April that I was helping to empty your Beer Fridge.
Mine is still under rebuild stage (and a broken right thumb has curtailed those activities) but Your Project is my guiding light to persist.

Thanks for taking all this down and posting on Vid

Thanks Paul! Yeah time flies. I took it for a lap of the block the other day (when it stopped raining) and it ran awfully. I have some new coils on the way that will hopefully solve my issues. The coils in it are still the ones that had intermittent misfires when still mounted in the valley, which stopped when I relocated them. I'm thinking (hoping) they have finally died.

There are some new, uprated coils I had fitted a couple years pre covid that seem to be much better at avoiding breaking down all the time, or misbehaving when wet. I've had no issues since those were fitted.

I was actually thinking of fitting LS coils but for once I figured I would do things the easy way!

Where do you source the uprated coils?

Because I do everything on the cheap, I tried fitting generics for a few years

That cost me a couple of track days, so some years ago I did the right thing and fitted genuine Bosch (although still marked made in China)

I did the hottest track day ever at the Ring in July a couple of years ago, which destroyed my starter motor, but the coils were just fine
