Hi Chris,

Try a Ford Focus.  I was knocking them down with 
one of my coils one 4th of July.

6" PVC form ~ 600T 20ga wire  20" x 5" toroid.

Hi Nick,

I was kind of thinking along those same lines myself.
Yet another member reports that he "smoked" his
car's inboard computer by just firing a coil close to it
w/out any actual streamer hits to the body of the car.
I guess the Geek Group needs to do a "strike test"
with several different types of automobiles just like
they did with that computer a few years back to settle
this issue ;^) You listening Chris Boden? ;^))))

That one got by me, I just found it.

But yes, I'm listening ;)

I'll pitch it to the video production team this afternoon.

I don't suppose anyone would like to donate a couple vehicles for testing
here at our labs with some BIG coils?
