which ignition set up i should go with ? Msd or Electromotive?

I prefer MSD :)

MSD :bandit:

Yeah i was leaning towards msd.I was looking at the electromotive cause i heard alot of good shit about them.

i have the msd setup, i'm happy with it

Unless you have a need for it, i.e. Turbo, high compression, don't waste your money. put those hundreds into something a bit more worth while.

yeah, i agree with vince, the only reason i got mine was b/c my coil went, my cap was bad, and wires were old, so i figured i'd just get the box while i was at it. i did notice the car runs a lot smoother, starts easier and a stuff like that, but nothin too major

just figured i'd mention the skunk2 ^ part in place of toda

you will get NO noticable power increase if that's what your after....it's mostly preventative, or "just in case" :)

No i wasn't thinkin that it would give me any power.I just heard it helps out a bit.:)

well, like I said, if you have no need for it, read fist post, don't waste the money unless you want it for looks :)

p.s. What have you dont to your car so far?

I am planning on getting the MSD sport compact setup. Anyone have anyhting to say about it? I don't really know a lot about ignitions and junk like that.

The stock ignition works great with mildly modded cars. I would only get it if I was turboing or had a serious na setup. Otherwise it really just helps out with gas mileage and smoothness but not power. So I would put the money towards something else.:)

Yeah, actually the Honda ignition is known to be quite strong.

yeah if you feel like paying out the ass to get a gray cover rather than a red one go for it, b/c thats the only differnece, a diff. cover and a bigger price tag.

Actually I found it cheaper than the others, that is why I was asking. I thought maybe it was turd or something.

really? yeah they are basically the same thing, which ever one you can get cheaper, when i got my box a year or so ago they were a bit more expensive, at least where i was shopping
