Paul,

  I just received the RX8 coil from Advanced Auto Parts.I did not believe
  that I was going to receive them since I read that a lot of people tried
  to purchase them online but were told that this item can not be ordered
  online.I went to Advanced Auto Parts web site and ordered 4 coils.I was
  surprised that the order went through without a problem.However,I
  thought that I will never receive them instead I will get an email of
  apology for a web site error.But to my surprise I received them today
  and they are the right coils.The box states Intermotor part #E1001.The
  funny thing is that I live in a US territory in the Pacific called
  Saipan and Advance Auto Parts has to ship them thousands of miles away
  from the mainland US.By the way the cost was $24.00 per coil and $12.14
  for priority mail shipping for 4 coils.What a deal.

  Someone needs to tell the people that answer the Advanced Auto Parts
  web site phone :) I have an RX8 coil heat sink for you. I'll
  come up with a place to mount it in the firewall forward package.

  Actually somebody has to tell the people that maintain the web site at
  Advance Auto Parts,cause I understood from the emails that I read that
  most of the problems they encountered were ordering through the web
  site.At any rate if you want the coils I be glad to order them for you.

  Hi Michael,

  I would like to order some coils, if that’s OK.

  Did you notice that they have triggers as well.

  Cheers Chris in NZ

Chris,

I am not really sure if it has a trigger or not the only thing I noticed
is that it has 3 terminal input plug.Have you tried to order them
directly from Advance Auto web site lately.Things might have changed
since before.If you still can not order them,I will be glad to do it for
you.The cost as I looked lately was $26.99 per coil.The shipping to me
is about $14.00.I do not know how much will be the shipping to NZ,but I
will inquire if you still want them.I also do not know if you have to
pay tax in NZ or not but that will be something that you have to deal
with at your end.Cheers.

Michael

The trigger is built in. It requires a positive going  5 volt low current
pulse that is only 3 ms long to work at high RPM. If you want it for
aircraft use you should use a heat sink as they are not designed for a continuous 6000 RPM.
