Ignition Cables-splitfire

[Guest ADRIAN]

Does anyone know where I can get a set of ignition cables made by Splitfire?

 

Thanks,

Adrian.

Why would you want any? They're utter crap and no better (probably worse) than normal ignition cables.

[Guest ADRIAN]

You're wrong mate.

I had set but ruined them.

the car starts better idles better and such.

+ they are cheaper than the original.

[Ahl 4]

w0teva!

 

Seriously though, they are crap. The only reason they worked better on your car was because the previous leads were knackered and needed replaced.

Fair do's if they're cheaper where you are, but I find they are very expensive here in the uk.

[Guest doughboy]

They're good when new, but don't last.

 

The caps pulled off of all 4 of mine.

 

Waste of money.

[Guest turnip]

recommendations then?

Price (Mafco?)?

 

 

I still stand for the Splitfire.

Ahl,

Iv'e replaced them after having original pug HT leads

on the car for two months. Whats the price of them in

the U.K.?

Noticed today at the Rally SuperCar Day at Castle Coombe that some sort of Ign. leads will give you an extra 15bhp! Seriously could'nt believe that sort of absurd advertising!

 

Saying that, it was a blue oval parts stand!

I've got a full AMD ignition system for the new car and from what i've been told by various people who run these engines it's a great improvement.

 

Is it that hard to put an uprated ignition system on the 205 to give it that little extra help?

 

Dave!

[fiji bob 0]

i had a jacobs electronics ignition system for a while didnt really have it on the car long enough to try it out properly

[Guest puggti]

I wudnt say Splifires are crap in the slightest to be honest, im quite happy with them!!

I stand!

[fiji bob 0]

to be fair i had a set on an xs and they did last but the claims they make about them are rubbish

[Ahl 4]

Yep, the claims are crap.

 

Unless both strips of conductor are as thick as a normal HT lead, then they'll be less effective seeing as the spark will only ever travel down one at a time.

[Guest ADRIAN]

Think about that:

The leads get hot so if you have 2 wires going down 1 lead then...

 

They are thiker than the original ones ( 8mm - 7mm) so....

 

Full life waranty...

 

They did it for me.

[Ahl 4]

lol...ok then adrian.

[Guest ADRIAN]

lol...ok then adrian.

 

[Guest puggti]

Ahl have u used Splitfires before?

[fiji bob 0]

the leads wont make any difference to the strength of the spark unless they are the type where you ground part of it but that will probably knacker the coil eventually

[205man 0]

ok guys it obvious that people have a difference of opinions on whether the leads are any good, but the original quetion was where could they be obtained from so lets try to stick with the topic, and if some wants to spend lots of money on something that may or may not give any improvement then thats up to them.

It doesn't say Splitfire is crap but it does say their performance claims are s*it
