well, here’s the coilpack i got in the post from DTA.

it’s actually a valeo coil rather than a sagem one though the mountings are the same as are the pluglead sockets and the loom socket…..

here they are side by side, old and new prior to fitment…

i swapped the coilpack, changed the plugs and checked the oil, all in about twenty minutes. Then a quick blast up the M5 to see what’s going on at Raceshack. Conor had posted some pictures of the new dyno arrivign on a 40ft trailer a few days previously so i was keen to see what was up and if there was any stuff i could help with.
I’d been over at the new industrial unit in tewkesbury a week or so previous painting the floor ready for the new equipment.

onto the m5 and whilts the engine is still running warm it is running much better, getting passed by a bazzed up renault clio something or other made for an entertaining 10 miles or so ;D. when i arrived teach botch were there in force adding the finishing touches to a 4 post car lift big enough to get a lorry on whilst the electricians did their best to sort out the wiring for the whole building. I hung around and helped with building the stairs for the mezanine and other things, got some tea and headed back to ak hq…
