Here's a link to other cars that use the BPR7ES plugs. It could be simplify things for the counter person.

Try to imagine an egg between your right foot and the gas pedal. Press lightly as not to break the egg. Anticipate stops and release the gas pedal early. Boost is your enemy!
Actually they are in a 9006 1GB housing. I didn't have to trim anything. Bolted right in. I just had to make sure that they were level before I sealed the housings back up in the oven (don't tell the wife. Hope she doesn't read these forums).
I made this one. Switches & LED holders are from an electronics supply store (All Electronics | Electronic and Electro-Mechanical Parts and Supplies at Discount Prices). It doesn't really stand out, but they are within easy reach.
Oh snap! It's after 12:30. Looks like I missed the boat. When I worked the graveyard shift, I would have a beer (or four) when I got home at 7am. It was weird at first, but later it seemed justified.
Just finished these last night. Bi Xenon 4500k h1 bulbs. Plug n play install (Morimoto brand). They have a very sharp cut off. I'll post some wall shots when it gets dark. Please excuse the filthy car.
On my alarm a steady light means that the alarm is in valet mode. Have you tried pressing the hidden valet switch down for 3 to 5 seconds with the ignition switch on?
I bet your local reputable tire shop has one of these laying around.

Took the housing off & it fits in the BEP housing beautifully. Thanks to all who eased my anxieties about buying the wrong HX35. I'm collecting a few more pieces & then I'll tackle the oiling. These Holset threads have been very helpful.
Thanks again.
Thanks guys. You don't know what a relief it is to hear that. I've been reading these Holset posts for quite awhile now. Now I'll be jumping on the bandwagon.
The chip seems to be a bigger scam that the E turbo. Electric Supercharger/Turbo Nitrous All Cars +MPG/+HP:eBay Motors (item 150400811638 end time Jan-05-10 19:30:00 PST)
Selectable launch RPM A.K.A. stutterbox is what it sounds like to me.
Gauge Selection / Security
If your chip was done by Keydiver (DSMChips.com | DSM ECU Chips Enchanced by Keydiver), the stutterbox RPM range is probably different.
I'm using this XTD stage 4 clutch. XTD® STAGE 4 CLUTCH KIT -ECLIPSE /TALON /LASER TURBO:eBay Motors (item 350270110118 end time Nov-24-09 19:36:07 PST) I have no complaints after 1500 miles of street use. The throw out bearing was steel sleeved so I just threw it away & used an OEM one...
Make sure that the positive post on your battery isn't touching your hood. When I bought my car, the battery wasn't bolted down & there was nothing covering the positive terminal. I could see marks on the underside of the hood where it was grounding out. My relay clicking & car stalling...
A little over 4,000 miles on the Fidanza 3.2. It started to slip in 5th gear & rapidly went down hill. Zero AWD launches. Zero track days. Just Los Angeles traffic. Here are the pictures. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/problem-diagnosis/240420-fidanza-clutch-thread-5.html#post151890981
It was a brand new Fidanza flywheel. It started to slip about 3 weeks before I could give the car a vacation (had to make my other car reliable). I adjusted the pedal according to Jack's Transmissions video. The clutch felt great for a long time & then one day it just started going to crap...
Here's my Fidanza 3.2 after about 4,000 miles. ZERO hard launches. ZERO track days. Just street driven. Sometimes with spirit, but NEVER from a dead stop (or even a crawl). I broke the clutch in for at least 800 miles of Los Angeles commuting. I just noticed it slipping one day while...
I searched "shift light" on ebay and bought the cheapest adjustable one available. The flashlight came from The 99 Cents Store and used to live on my keychain.
I took a small key chain type flashlight & replaced the white LED with a red one. I also wired in a resistor to reduce 12V to 5V. What triggers it is an adjustable shift light I bought from ebay. I took the ebay shift light apart, and wired in the flashlight.
Here's mine. The small blue circle just to the right of the steering wheel. 1 super bright red LED lives in there. Tomorrow I'll get a picture with it on. It's easily seen during the day.
