From what I have been told no but now I have a few sets that I hope to use to get one good set built. Looking at BNR's website he can basically pull the inners out and replace.

It was the coil harness due to the shielding wire was crimped in with the power wire. Ended up melting and shorted out all of them. After dissecting the harness and looking at each wire it was plain as day.
I would not recommend any moving or swapping to a T2 coil to anyone. Its not worth the chance of a fire and really after talking with several fd builders they say fd coils dont really go out.

yeah, I've always told people not to swap to T2 coils.. but there are few that insist T2's are better. I've had no issues with stock FD coils and will never replace them.

Did you read ANY of the things this guy wrote? His car had so so many things wrong with his whole damn setup... But no, "DAVID" caused it. Use your brain, show some respect and get a life.

Yea "this guy" lives about half a mile from me and I have helped him out alot with his car. His car was pristine when he bought it with absolutely nothing wrong with it. Before you go bashing what i said why don't you talk to some Tennessee people about David. There is a reason people have stopped taking there cars to him, thats why we call it being GARFINKLED.

Everything that was wrong with it happened while it was in David's possession. From what I am told.

So he is within his rights to call him out.

well got some new turbo's, getting it tuned and hope to have to back soon.
cant wait...... been too long and too much extra money

[fire85gslse]

Turbo's on, car is tuned with spring pressure (7psi) right now and made almost 300 at the rear. Should be interesting once the boost is up and car is tweaked.

Im enjoying Putting miles on her. About the crack 40K and that will be a day I might cry....... She has been in the 30's for a long time and for a 93 to have under 40K it is clean and what I have wanted since I first saw it in 93.
