That would be user Bullitt from Malaysia who is an active member on this forum

Perhaps we should ask him if he is still making them.

In for a group buy!

Also what are your thoughts on these :

They seem to be the exact same 92mm pistons that Toyhead auto supply (toyhead are actually a distributor of these guys) but they cost about $100US less.

Might have to get in touch with them for a shipped AUD price.

I'd be interested in the lead clips too.

Add me in as interested for sure. Let me know if there is a group buy or if solo is the go. How about the actual leads themselves, mant moons ago there were the TRD ones but cost a bomb

I bought NGK leads. About $55 at Bursons. RC-TE94 is the part number. The Top Gun leads you can get are teh gheyness and the boots don't fit properly. The NGK ones are a far better item for quality of manufacture.

The top gun leads i got didnt have the right angle boot and the boot itself was crap.

sorry guys but i beg to differ on this i have the topgun leads and i dont know if they are the topgun boots or not but they fit perfectly

[ra_28]

^^ They might fit alright but they still come straight out and not have the 90 deg angle so they sit nicely in the tapper cover.

Cheers

hmm yeah i guess it a matter of personal preference, IMO i really like the straightout loopy look.

[o_man_ra23]

Yeah, my bonnet loved the straight out leads rubbing on it... NOT. Plus the boots, although they look like they fit, never seated in the holes, and after a while of use with constant tuning etc (need to pull them off to get to the adjustable cams) they no longer wanted to stay in the hole properly.

[ra_28]

I thought that might be the case them rubbing on the bonnet but i've never used them so i didn't comment.

its a scan of each page but still usable

[RA23GT]

The NGK Oz site still lists the leads. No details like core size though and no prices..Still remember how sexy the TRD leads are, well as sexy as plug leads get anyway...
