Default Newage coil pack conversion

I know JTI do the loom but spotted that Fuji racing do the same loom for my v3sti for less than a third of the price! Anyone running the fuji are they ok?

Ive not got any of the fuji gear, but ive seen its well priced and heard it's icp's own brand and not heard any complaints about it.

Yes Luke at icp has always sold quality gear. Was so surprised at how much cheaper the fuji loom is compared to jti. Also forgot that Alyn @AS Performance did a loom but don't even think he would be that price.

About time you sorted a website out Alyn @stockcar

if the price is too good to be true......................

unfortunately lots of 'names' have simply gone down the lowest price route with the expected fall in quality - in general, lots of things are simply far eastern sourced copies of someone else's hard work

I hear what you're saying but nearly £170 for a small loom is very expensive
DIY was around before the loom kits so I guess everyone has copied this loom.

I've not seen any bad press for fuji racing but I'll see what the quality is like when I receive it.

labour / hourly rate alone would mean they can't be UK made but also unsure who is charging £170+ ??

not aimed at anyone in particular but amazing how much "copy" parts abound these days and are even sold purporting to be something else............

oh and just to confirm albeit most already would know this but Fuji Racing is simply a trading style of ICP............

as for websites then maybe we prefer to ensure people actually get what they require rather than some odd stuff of the net..............

there is always phone and email??

It's good to talk Alyn but when I've had 15 whiskeys on a Saturday night I get the urge to buy something shiny and totally un-needed for my lovely car then Online is the way....it's the future



It is definitely good to know there are still some proper old school traders etc out there but not even you would appreciate a call at 1am to order a catch can and an AS Performance Tshirt

The loom and coil packs arrived and it looks to be put together well,there's 5 plugs and some wire&shielding so not too much labour involved making these,pretty sure they won't be mass produced either.
Happy with the quality and for the loom and 4 new coil packs £168.

Looking forward to trying these out,do some mapping and see if my drunken buy was worth the change
