A local dealer only offers these plug wires, and they are the only blue wires i have seen.... blue which would match the alta intake tube.... however i have never heard of them.... they are also shorter wires which looks good that way i won't have to "route" them around in the engine bay....

anyone have any experience with them?

Interesting. They look just like the Kingsborne wires I put on my car right down to the little packet of dielectric(sp?) grease that comes with them. Except my wires are red. There is some debate over whether the Kingsborne's are 8 or 9mm wires. Either way, they are high quality wires. I got them from OutMotoring.

See here: Kingsborne ignition wires

How much are the Ireland wires, by the way? I don't see a price on the website.

i don't see a price either. When i try to add them to cart (maybe to see price), they won't add to cart. I was going to call Terry Saythers up and ask him, but i can't make long distance calls from work. I have sent an email about this yesterday and haven't yet received a response.

Will update what i hear. in the meantime, no one has heard of these?

interesting... they make a lot of hard-core racing equipment for minis.... no fluff stuff here!

fifty bucks is pretty good for a set of high performance plugwires, no? has anyone had anything from Ireland Engineering before? anyone heard of them? i like what they look like based on what i've seen on their site...
