HT leads...... Baragin?

[MWRS182]

Are these a bargain or is it a case of get what you pay for? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8MM-RED-S...arParts_SM&hash=item1c2b3a7858#ht_2899wt_1163

Has anyone used these? If so were they a comfortable fit?

I bought a cheaper set off ebay a couple of weeks ago, terrible fitment. Only 1 out of 4 leads would click into place on the spark plug, so got my money back and want to get a new set.

Any help is always appreciated.

Thanks.

Vague post. What HT leads did you buy and how much were they?

 

[MWRS182]

LOL apologies I was rushing and forgot the link, Doh! just updated it.

 

[Owen92]

I've never heard of them. Would of gone for a well known name if it was me.

I very much doubt they are as good as the gen renault ones, but they probably are good enough to last a couple of years if you want something cheap and pretty.

Personally I would just pay the extra for magnecore though.

ive got them on mine, haven't had any problems with them

 

[MWRS182]

Yes Magnecor are three times the price though, lot of money to pay for something that will probably make no difference, just want to replace the 8 year old ones with something newer.

Just wondering if anyone has a set and can state if they are good or garbage?

 

[Chip-mk1]

8 year old gen renualt ones typically still work perfectly TBH, no need to replace unless you are just doing it for looks?

 

[Chip-mk1]

They do finish the bay off nicely having some good looking leads I reckon.

This is my mrs 172 with magnecores:

Just doing a service and thought they would compliment my new spark plugs.

Cheers Matt e just what the spendthrift side of me wanted to hear.

Nice pic chip wish I had those Itb's over the leads though.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Its not ITBs, its an RS2 plenum with a single throttle still, you can see the throttle just to the right of the plenum.
Means you get a lot of the gains of ITBs, but without losing the functionality of the standard ecu, so a nice option for a daily driver which is what hers is although she does maybe 10-15 or so trackdays a year in it too at the moment so its a good compromise for both.

Where is the best place to buy magnecores from Chip?

I dont know where is cheapest, but I have bought a couple of sets from Ktec and they have arrived on time etc, so I would recommend them.

I've got the exact ones that you linked to on ebay - work fine

I must admit I thought I was buying magnecor but I'd had a bottle of JD and it was a bit of an ebay fail lol
They work fine though

 

[Chip-mk1]

We call that: beErBAY

lol

 

[Silent_Scone]

I like how they state the diameter of the cable rather than just the conductor lol. Still if they work they work, standard ones are fine - they just look s**t

 

[Cup_Phil]

LOL Yeah failed me way too many times. I make sure I'm no-where near my laptop when I drink now. Had way too many random "bargains" appear that I don't remember buying lol

Quick update:

Just done oil change, filter and plugs. I can confirm that the HT leads above are a good fit and well worth the money, plus they look good too.

Well happy for the money.

Old post but I gathered you got the red 8mm HT leads off eBay? Still had no issues with them?
