this is the best gain for the money modification i've done.

for 25 quid mine idle'd smoother, revved nicer and got rid of a flat spot i had in third on boost.
as for leads i've got magnecor ones on mine (that i paid a tenner for from the scrappy) theres no way i'm paying 80 odd quid for leads. there was a discussion on here a few weeks ago and i think the result was you cant beat the standard bosch leads for the money, and they're disposable at about 8 quid a set or something.

Thanks for the feeback everyone
I have ordered myself a coil from Mat Lewis as I had money floating around my paypal account. Also got a set of 8mm magnecors on the way courtesy of woodford garage motorsport! Hopefully my car will hold its power past 3500rpm now!
Power run at Northampton Motorsport on thursday!

I got Grp A in mine and really seen the difference on high revs. I mean not an increase in power but more steady, like it wants more... Honda style!

Don't know where I read it but there was stated that it's not recommended on RSTs as it ruins a sensor or something
