and how much are they ?

You will have to have a hole drilled in your backbox large enough for a spark plug thread to go though. It is out of sight though as it goes at the top.

price ranges from £30-£40
No doesnt damage anything,
Apart from IF you have BIG FLAMES or FLAME alot, you may need to keep your rear BUMPER highly polished, you dont want it getting tarnished!!!

I think its probably best for the person supplying the parts and fitting the kit to price the work up

I was charging £60 for a full flamer kit and free fitting for the ESC, but as the flamers are Mark's project now, I can't comment on his prices

Hi Cookie sorry for the delay...

It's probably just a loose connection on one of the wires...

Check all of the wires attached to the coil and also the ht lead at both ends.

it could be that the control box has failed but unlikley, if you able to bring the car to ESB on Saturday morning, I'll be there and I'll take a look for you, I'll have a spare control unit with me so can try another to prove the fault, also meter out the wires to ensure the power is getting to the unit.

Let me know mate

Guys as Paul said the current cost of the kit is £60, I'm looking at ways of reducing the parts cost, so it may drop a little soon....

Included in that cost is FREE fitting if you bring your cars to me.

Fitting tim is 1.5 - 2 hours.

for those further away that want a kit to install yourself, PM me and I'll email you the fitting instructions so you have an Idea in whats involved.

Check the plug for a spark cookie

, As Mark said wiggle the wires around the coil pack , Sometimes my spare wheel interfeers with mine

Note ~ This may not be stright away on a wet damp evening , But as it gets warm you should see / Hear it buzzing

Also cookie, get some tissue and clean the electrodes on the plug, (whilst cold of coarse).

flamers won't work with a recirc DV (in my experience), and I haven't fitted a flamer to a car with a sports cat, so can't comment if it will work or not. I have fitted one to a STI 7, but it was fully decatted

How many is Sara having then?

Looking good Mark.

I take it you've changed the back box the Sara, or are you just torching the bumper?
