Recent Purchases Picture Thread!!

[Eccie]

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 

Thanks for the heads-up Simon

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 

Circa £500 for a set of coilpacks!! I'd want a daily chew included for that 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. 

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

We intend to do a before and after dyno run with the Okada coils

Against brand new OEM ones? Only fair way, innit.

Just spent a zillion euro in Rossi shop in tavullia 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 

So let's see what you bought.

Carl did you get the iron x and eraser on a 'special' deal or just a regular price - if you did where from please?

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

[simonp]

You didn't hear about the deal?
