Matt Lewis can't get the looms either. MSD won't give me a lead time.

I'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks

As soon as the kit is available I will buy it all in a oner
Do you have a guestimation time?

Can I send my ECU down for the driver in the mean time?

Thanks,
Stephen

RP labs do not supply wasted spark to us,

There is no problem with the wasted spark kits, apart from one Loom plug which has become unavailable, for this reason we have not been able to supply the FULL kit for a few weeks.

We have had a new loom in today which we have tested, this is now going into production and will be available very soon so the whole kit will again be available.

The new loom comes with a new plug design which the end user will have to terminate into the OE loom.

Sorry I just presumed as I seen on there website you were the UK distributor for them.

Can I send me ECU down in the mean time to have the driver done?

Thanks
