IGNITION upgrade turboed NB8B

Postby C-Gazer » Wed Sep 16, 2015 11:02 pm

Mazda quoted $350.00 for a new COP so I decided to upgrade the whole ignition and go to the LS2 style coil. I bought a set of LS7 coils with connectors and pins from Goleby Parts from Toowoomba for $200 delivered. Check out their web site. The order was placed mid morning and turned up the following day (Brisbane). With the dollar down I was not so pleased to not have to go to the US to shop.
Looks like I will have to get the ignition leads custom made. Have any forum members had leads made recently? Any recomendations?

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Queensland Ignition Leads.... oh you found it :P

Toowong, then Kallangur?!?!?
Geez these guys move around as I'm certain when I went there around 2008 they were somewhere around Northgate.
There's only 2 of them and no big/heavy equipment so I guess they just hop around different locations for sh#ts and giggles...?
