hi guys

i recntly had some issues with my coil packs, my car was missing on hard excelleration, so i pulled the coils and painted them with nail polish as previously demonstrated on DIY. unfortunantley as some predicted due to the heat factor it didnt last so i pulled them back out and covered them with industrial silcone.

which wistands high temp, however problem is still there.

my question is, is it possible that my coils are that stuffed that they are no longer repairable, I would like to also add that the only reason why i reverted to painting them from the start was to boost more, and i never had an issue on stock boost.

i know i am going to have to get new coils sooner or latter but i would prefer to hold off on them for a while and perhaps i can get splitfire coils .

any help would be very much appreciated.

mate regap you plugs lower.....

and i had massive misfire problems, went to bunnings and grabbed some selleys 401 industrial strength silicone, can withstand heat upto 205 degrees. Cover the bottom of the coil where they crack in the silicon. I did this on the weekend and it worked an absolute treat. I found this from the diy section after lots of searching and it worked wonders (i think it even might be a few pages into that nail polish thread as i read tat aswell)

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
