Absolutely Dan, haven't had any problems since! It's cheap assurance really, for what it's worth.

well turns out, as many of you had said, that the coil packs are stuffed, i hadnt retried them with the new plugs yet, but while ive been waiting for the plugs i showed my coils to my mechanic and he quickly identified what was wrong with them....on one side of the coil there is a clear plastic resin that insulates the wires, well in that resin you can see black burn marks where its shorted out,,,i saw the marks before but never relised they werent supose to be like that because all 6 coils have these marks!!!! i cant believe my car even started!!

cant wait to drive the car once i get the new coils and plugs in

^ they look like jjr direct ignition (which is what i got and they are excellent) so they must get them from the same supplier.

turns out that the red ones in the pic are the coils for a r32, lol but all they could tell me was they are all black casing and get them from the same place in tiawan where they make the splitfires and they have a 12 month warrenty under the store,

but im pretty impressed with the factory ones even tho they all blew, cos after all they are 12 years old!
