Bought one of these for work. Discontinued, but marked down from £250 to £70.

Got mine delivered by play.com this morning - looks cool in white and sounds very very good for £70 - just having a play with it  :laugh:

Thanks for the heads-up Simon :wink:

The EQ presets are very subtle, eh?

Supposedly conduct better therefore spark harder. I'll need some hard facts before I believe it though. ;-)

Cheers Rich.

I can't see how it would spark harder though. There is no extra power being introduced into the system (unless the coils are damaged/corroded) I'd like to see a back to back test done comparing a new OEM coilpack against one of these, showing the difference in spark produced.

Edit - I've just read the bumf and apparently they have a "power amplifier" in them to produce 4x the energy. Still want to see that proven though.

Edit 2 - Just seen the price  :surprised: :surprised:

Circa £500 for a set of coilpacks!! I'd want a daily chew included for that :grin: Unless someone can prove to me, by testing back to back on an independent dyno, they smooth out the curve AND give an increase in power & torque. I think this is going to be a solution for a problem that doesn't exist imho.

Danish I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.  :happy2:

Still waiting for the dyno results from this thread to materialise, but it all went conveniently quiet.

Over the top mod list ;o)

Just spent a zillion euro in Rossi shop in tavullia :signLOL: on tat

You'll have to go back next year for Yam stuff now. I presume you know he is off to Yamaha. Official announcement on the 15th, but it's not a secret any more, if ever it was.

Anyway  :worthless:

So let's see what you bought.

I got them from Elite Car Care. They weren't on any deal though that I'm aware of.  :happy2:

The eraser smells fantastic.
