Appears to be a red and blue option as well as black.

Not yet mate, I'm waiting til I do the rocker cover before I decide on the colour.

There's such a huge range of colours If you just buy the cable by the metre though..

Will you reuse your old connections/plugs then?

I assume so if they seem in decent nick underneath. I haven't yet looked into whether I can get replacement plugs from honda or anywhere else, don't spose you know if you can get them? Or whether they're universal off other cars as well?

I very much doubt you'd be able to buy them seperate from Honda. You may be able to get them elsewhere, but there's a whole variety of different fitments and lengths to suit the world's variety of valve covers, and I doubt they cater for all. Dizzy end shouldn't be too much trouble. You're best bet is to salvage what you already have, or buy new proper leads and use those connections, but that just seems a bit daft just to have them a different colour.

Yeah that's probably true.. Well all i know is if you search on ebay, you can get cotton braided cable by the metre in loads of colours, and I think cotton braided HT leads could potentially look the shizz

If they're NGK I'm sure they'd be available in this country, just possibly a special order. Only thing is though, if that picture is of the actual item, those look to be for the A20a SOHC. The descriptions are a bit vague on that site (No specific engine numbers are quoted :? ).

If you're happy with just blue though there are the ones in the link I gave at the top of the page. Think they'll look like this...

I don't think they include a lead for the coil though.
