Moving ignition coils?
Hey everyone I'm Part way threw doing a wire tuck on my rx7 and I was wondering if anyone has moved the ignition coils to different spots. Iam aware they can only go so far so any ideas would be great!

There's nothing special about the spark plug wires, so get some longer ones and mount the coils under the dash on the driver's side and run the plug wires through the firewall.

Leading coils are fairly simple to relocate:

Thinking about just mounting the leading coils on a bracket to where the ac pump would be. Don't think they will fit at all under the dash lol

Keep in mind, the location you choose should minimize heat, oil, and water intrusion.
