I'll be in for 4 coils if the price is right.

Could also be interested in the other bits too.

Interested, but like everone else dependant on price, (although the way things are going a group buy discount should be available).

Are these the #8224 ?

MSD will ship a pair to the UK for $123 (£62):
http://www.shopatron.com/product/part_number=8224/424.0

course you might end up having to pay a bit for import duty (though they do seem to give the option of marking it as a gift...)

can your mate do a bit better if there's a group buy arranged ?

by **dapinky** » Sun 24.02.2008, 14:04

JEGS

or

SUMMIT

are half the price, but that said, SUMMIT add a $24 overseas shipping 'handling charge' - 1 per order, however big or small, plus both will charge for shipping (cost not quoted on website), and then there is the issue about import duty.....

All in all, there is a lot to be said for the known, fixed price & convenience of picking a pair up at Donny, but not for me at this time, ta.

Of course, with all of our USA friends coming over for the big 60 birthday later this year, I can see a lot of 'excess bagage' being charged for by the airlines - I for one will be happy to pay for some of the extra killos, if anyone's offering :wink:

i think these fit on the original base

You can also get these on ebay
search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=MSD+8224&category0=

Since i`m bloody skint at the mo and at £85.50 which IMHO isn`t a great deal since you can order them direct from the USA for about the same price i will have to drop out.

Cheers for your efforts thou

IIRC the esprit has the same coils and these are available at £70.....
like the guys say we can get em from the US at $90 for a pair (so thats less than £50....even with shipping and IF you get caught at customs I cant see it being more than about £75 total).....

see if he can do any better otherwise I may pull out too...sorry

cheers
