[s-cars] So, you want a coil kit, eh? [was: Thanksgiving Misadventure]

[Eric Phillips]

I have an Apikol 1.8T coil kit lying around not doing anything.  I
have 15 (!!!) total 1.8T coils that go along with, PLUS the decorative
Apikol cover to throw in.  None of the coils have more than 3k miles
on them.

$250 shipped anywhere in the CONUS.
