jon@vagworx 0 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Tom, i believe Gruven parts are in the process of making these back plates as we speak, if you don't want to Also, have the leads youv'e made up got similar to the stock ends on with shields??? Can't see why you would want to keep the stock ones, other than that, why pay £80 for crap leads when you can buy gooduns for £30 Link to post Share on other sites
IbiVR 0 Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Yeah the gruven ones arent that great, just an angled bracket that sits on the stock coilpack and has the coils up horizontally and you need to chop the cover.I'm thinking something a little better....Tom.

Chrisdut 0 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 cool, sounds like a very good idea, whats the life of the coils like, would you be doing a full package of 3 x coils, 6 lead ends and coil plate Link to post Share on other sites

IbiVR 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hi all,Not been around much over Xmas. Were about to get cracking on making the braket nice and easy and plug and play. At the moment its a bit tricky as the mounting points to match the stock end plate sit right under where the coils need to be, so what where working on is the eaisest way round this.Should be ready soon.Re: the kit, I can supply the whole lot, or if people prefer we can just do the brackets and you can source the coils elswhere. Typically 3 options would be available:- Bracket only Bracket,3 coils and terminals to convert standard leads Bracket,3 coils and a set of 8mm leads.I'll be able to confirm pricing as and when bracket is finalised, but atthe moment the pricing on the first post holds true.Thanks for all the interest on this - wasnt expecting such a good response!Tom.

VR6Fletch 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hi TomI'm in for a once of these set ups too bracket/leads/coils. My VR is missing and popping (unburnt fuel?) which I think is either sparks (replaced only 1500 miles ago.) or the coil pack. As Im saving for a FI set up in the next 6-9 months this would be a really good move to replace now if it is the coilpack. Dead keen to get this so idea of when you can finalise would be great.

vr6newcomer 1 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 hey matey, shame u didnt have this idea a couple of months ago, as ive changed my coilpack now, but this cld be a real commercial money spinner for you.. i wld love to c some figures tho... Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Fletch 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 TomAny idea when you might have an final idea of price and fabrication time? I'm real keen to get this set-up as I pretty sure now my coilpack is on its way out!Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
IbiVR 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi all.Thanks for the continuing support for this idea. We are getting the bracket sorted out - making it plug and play is the hardest part - for example the msd coils are larger so the original mounting holes are covered.Were getting it done asap, wont be too long, but I am consious of getting it right first time and not just rushing through a bracket that is fiddly and requires half a day to fit.Also doing longevity testing on the coils themseles, all good so far!Been a caught a little off guard with the amount of interest, but as i said, wont be too long, will keep you all informed!Tom.

SiGainey 1 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Nice one fella - I've got a crack in mine so will need it replacing soon. Happy to put down a deposit on one of these as I know what it's like - people back out when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets, but if they are plug and play and better than OEM and around 100quid, I'm in!!!
