So while it was on my mind, I said F-It, that ignitor is getting opened. Here's a how-to w/ pics
Step 1:
Flip ignitor over, top side down. Drill 2 small holes near edge. Holes look like a big spider bite.
2:
Insert small pliers (I used a surgical hemostat) into holes and clamp. Slowly pull metal bottom plate away from the plastic body. It is simply siliconed in place and will come free.
3:
Carefully break the solder joints between the terminal pins and circuit board.
Now it's just a matter of soldering on the wires that go to the COPs, drilling a hole so they can stick out a side of the plastic (former) ignitor body. When it's reassembled I'll fill it with epoxy which will seal up the two holes I drilled, plus will seal around the wires coming out. Done.

I dunno about the need for pnp really, I've been daily driving my coils for a couple days now and if anything its better than it was before. I don't see myself ever converting backward. After a long 45min drive on backroads (read: in the mountains, at high rpms) I can pull over and feel the COPs and they are "cool" to the touch in under hood temps speak. They simply don't feel like they are going to over heat at all.

well my last drive home from fredericksburg to blacksburg netted me only 19mpg, but thats because something was seriously ******* up on my car. Really bad bogging, car would not hot start at the rest stop (shouldnt have stopped :( ). I replaced the ign setup with the COPs. I can not reproduce the bogging at all for any length of time or amount of hard driving. I haven't monitored the mpg from the beginning of a full tank yet, I'll do that the next time I refill. I put the COPs in in the middle of a tank. In blacksburg you don't have to drive very far in any direction to get to where you need to go so a tank lasts me over a week usually. I'll be driving to roanoke to the machine shop tomorrow though so that will put some more miles on it, i'll update then.

Every junk yard owner here wants rape me with their price 
Any parts for such recent cars (except hyundais) demands premium $$.
After scouring 6 yards over the last month only 2 had recent ZZ model coils.
The cheapest wanted $275 a set!!!
I figured it would be cheaper to get them from abroad.
Oh and I was wayyyyyyyy busy this weekend. Too busy driving

Ampz-paid.
y8s-paid
TurboTim-paid
Payment required from:
SOL general

firedog25
Shipping in the usa shouldn't be more then $10 usps so the rest of you ordering the coils send $70 to Lazzer408@yahoo.com via. Paypal.
When all 6 sets are paid I'll place the order and get them out asap.
Thanks.
