the coil is attached to the firewall with the ignitor.
no reason to upgrade the coil unless yours is broken, the mr2 guys use 100% stock ignition components up to ~400whp. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

I think only the 90-91 had external coil but the 94 is inside the distributor for sure. I dont know if its worth it to change it though. --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

94-95 GT coil is inside the distributor.
96-99 GT coil is bolted to the firewall. All STs have the coil in the distributor. --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |

actually, to correct myself, 94-95 GT CALI spec cars, the coil is on the firewall.
the 94-95 FEDERAL spec is located in the dizzy. all 96+ is on the firewall just for future refrence. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

I always forget about that damn California spec. They've always gotta make things difficult.
