rough idea of the bodge

think I'm going to make a new version slightly diferent lengths to be neater, means ebay for another igniter module to canabalise into a plug

www.miataturbo.net/useful-saved-posts-8/upgrading-coil-plugs-all-years-cop-writeup-12704/
should give enough bad ideas

for the earlier 1.6 cars with seperate igniter modules (not used with the COP setup but an easy way to make PnP

tipically, I cannot find the writing / working-out of the colours I used but its sorta mostly obvious when you look, bit of a mess round here with paperwork at the moment

Thanks a lot for all that, most helpful!
VAG coils and connectors inbound tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get round to mucking about with them over the weekend, got coilovers, wheels and some holes to weld up on the e36 touring daily as a priority..

Think toyboata coils are needed after all.. This is fully home on the plug, I guess it's going to work, just aesthetically not ideal..

I think I'm going to give them a go regardless since I have all the bits. Atleast I can prove wether or not it is a coil issue loom will be the same regardless, just a case of swapping to toyota connectors.
