Jim_1979 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Was to replace all the coilpack clips!! Was easy as pie also, no need for the already excellent guide. Anybody could do this and it only took me 10mins max. I've not taken the car for a good run yet, but straight away I noticed it was much more responsive!! So if you have missfire/hesitation problems, do your plugs, then the clips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Best mod I done to both my Supra's was to change the lights to HID lights. Although I am sure if I had misfire the clips would be up there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 How much are these clips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 How much are these clips? About £5-6 each from Toyota, Paul Whiffin keeps them in stock and although a couple of quid more overall he'll be able to get them to you sooner than Toyota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Just changed my sparks last weekend, think i may get some, i looked at them before on ebay from envy. Following on from Blackie, facelifted glass headlights & HIDs have been my best mods to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_1979 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 I got mine from Envy too. £41 all in, but I had a £10 voucher from ebay, so only £31 for me. I'll be taking it for a high boost blatt tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I changed one on Burnas car the other day. Personally I found it a bit of a fiddly job (big fingers) and unless you've actually got issues can't see the point in changing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I found it a bit of a fiddly job (big fingers) and unless you've actually got issues can't see the point in changing them. Changed one? Why only one? It's an easy job if you use a little flat blade blade screwdriver! Some pins were a twat to get out the old clips, but nothing major.

Pete Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Changed one? Why only one? Only one was broken. I did have a flat blade screw driver...and a bad back. I didn't say it was difficult, just fiddly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
