GT Owners: anyone interested in some Magnecor leads?

[Martin_172]

I recently had an ignition lead fail on me and couldnt source any online, i eventually got some at a motor factors however i had already emailed Magnecor asking if they were interested in making some of their uprated ones for a group buy and they have got back to me for some details saying they should be able to help!!

is this something you guys would potentially be interested in?

 

[JE_GT]

yes

 

[Jjay]

Yes

 

[waitey]

Yeah, will they do orange?

.... I like orange.

Couldn't have guessed that ;-)

Haha I could never go back to a dull car... Orange or yellow only, I'm strange though.

Or white with bright orange wheels...

what would uprated leads actually do?

 

[tw11ngo]

on a gt, technically nothing. reduce the resistance slightly, which is only really useful in the higher rev bands i believe? singlespeed, adapt!

im needing a set as my car has started spitting the standard ones out for some reason, need to test another coil pack first but 3 have failed within one week!

magnecor usually do blue or the thicker ones are red.

Wait, help me out here.. are this coil plugs or something completely different?

I googled it and it seems something connecting to coil plugs?

You'll have to look under your bonnet but you'll have 4 black rubbery leads going to the spark plug area, should be uprated ones of those

Thx, I assumed it were those.

Well my warranty is running out in December so depending on the price, I'm interested to pimp my engine bay a little to keep me occupied

 

[JE_GT]

Theyre usually anywhere from £30 - £60 a set depending on what car they are for (obviously) lol

 

[lgonzalez]

Anyone know if these would fit my Clio? Or is the coil pack in a different location? Also anyone know of anywhere that will custom make a set if not? Ideally would like them in bright yellow to match the engine bay, needs more colour under there!!!

 

[lgonzalez]

Hmm scratch my last...just been googling and found this... https://www.gsparkplug.com/shop/misc-high-res-cable-yello.html
Now just wondering how easy it'd be to modify mine...the ones on the fords are pretty easy to re-core are the Renault ones a case of pulling the lead through and joining to the caps much the same? Also do you reckon 1 metre of cable would be enough to do all 4 leads?

 

[Martin_172]

im working with Magnecor on these now, hopefully should be available soon!

Ah ok...fair enough. I'll shut up for now then ;-)

 

[JE_GT]

Heard anymore about these yet Martin?

 

[Martin_172]

sorry just noticed there was a reply in here! i was waiting on them calling me back but it never happened, they told me they were nearly ready to try them out though so not sure what happened

 

[MovingShadow]

I'm waiting on these too.. hopefully they'll be available in some fancy color
