I have done this in a ford. Never in an rx7. It is a heat issue. Coil will bubble like a battery if overcharged and swell. You must have not looked under the hood for some time, as it will take a long time for one to explode. I have done this on a few race applications on small block fords with very aggressive setup. Never ever on an rx7.

MDS requires the coil to be mounted vertically.
If you have it in the fender insert horizontally the oil inside the coil will not cover what needed. the oil is used for heat dissipation amongst other things. this will lead to an overheated coil and in your case..boom.
Hope this info will help you in some way

I replaced a horizontally mounted coil just the other day on a buddies boat that did the same thing.Popped the cap and spewed all the oil out from running too hot.......it also didnt help that he was running the full 12V into a points type ignition system,a ballast resistor took care of that.
