  • VF1000 Coils

    I read on the UK site about using VF1000 coils as replacements and was wondering if anyone at Ch.11 has done it? Im thinking it's probably a cheaper alternative to the Green Coils MikesXS sells.. I never heard of using the VF coils so I am writing this to inform others about the "new" option.

    Mpg

    I would just like to note the mpg spoken of in that section. Is it different ratings or fuel over there. I would love to be getting 45-50 mpg.

    Yet I would be interestered in this, as I will probably be replacing my coils very soon.

      The UK gallon is 4.5 litres, you guys get short-changed with your gallon being 3.8 litres.

      You can think of a lightning bolt as essentially a really really big bug zapper. Unfortunatey, we're the bugs.

          AND... were waiting Whats the outcome? How much did you spend? Can the wires be changed without cutting apart a portion if the coil body? Any noticable difference in performence?
