yeah but you need the coil bracket also...it's still a good cheap mod if you wanna show off your valve cover.

you don't need a coil bracket...it's all one piece.

the only thing i bought were the coils and wires...i think the wires were $50...the coils were $35...i'll see if i can track down the part #'s. i was lucky enough to have my valvecover replaced under warranty...the finish was peeling off. i worked at a mazda store at the time and they replaced it with a 626 valvecover. this helps to seat the wires properly...if you look at the 2nd and 4th wires from the left, you can see where they were trimmed to fit the p5 valvecover...that's where your stock coils mount...it's not an issue if you trim them...but this just looks cleaner...minus the hideous blue paint.

here's a link to the pic:

ignition coil: mazda part# FPY2-18-10X
wires: mazda part# 0000-18-149A

these are the same coils ran by tripoint in their proteges. they're supposed to be a better spark...so the give you a smoother powerband...hell, i don't remember exactly...i put these on 2 years ago.

yeah, all i had to do was move whatever that thing is that's mounted in that spot now...and move the wires to the opposite side of the motor...it really wasn't hard at all. i don't know if this will work with all of your s/c piping or not.
