Default Coil relocation guys step in

Okay anyone have any pics of relocations> Or the brackets that come with the kit? Im thinking of making my own relocation kit after pulling off the vvalve covers because its a bitch to deal with. Keep in mind each individual soil comes off due to it bieng a 1998 car. So any tips or pics would be appreciated. And also what kind of wires do you reccomend because the stock ones wont give any play to work with.

Check out Thunderracing.com, they sell a few kits, and the wires to make a custom kit for yourself. They also have some pics too.

Lots of guys like to stack them up then put a long *** bolt through the holes, sinch them together, then hang them under the cowl.

I've custom made a couple kits. I wouldn't recommend doing one from scratch on your own without serious tools/skillz.


The Thunder kit has no instructions, and there are tools you will need (90 degree adapter so you can drill the mounting holes under the dash, and a puller to remove the windshield wiper arms.)

Here's a thread I started giving a "sneak peak" at the prototype of the soon to be released kit.

I made my 1st kit after simply looking at the mounting location of a Thunder racing kit. Some guy at the track lied and said he made it himself. About two months after I made mine and everything was fine I saw the picture of Thunder's kit and I knew the guy lied to me.

Just "go to it." That's pretty much it. *or* buy the Thunder kit (which doesn't have instructions) so that will save some of the fabrication headache, or you can wait for mine which will have instructions and tools to make the install much smoother.
