Post by: Little_Dave on July 02, 2014, 11:35:14 pm: Had Alex pop some red coil packs in along with some ngk plugs when he loaded the revo stage2+ on my car

Wasn't having any issues with the OEM ones fitted but thought I'd get them done as a more preventative measure :happy2:

Plus they are red :laugh:
