After dishwashing I removed projectors and clenaed low beams very good with rubbing alcohol. I also cleaned the projectors. I cant wait to put them in later this week!

UPDATE :(
I installed some rebuilt fuel injectors from MEPEH here on r3v (he did great work and I recommend him!)
Right after the install the car throws a CEL for the camshaft position sensor. I found the sensor on ebay for a great price (facet brand new old stock) and should be installing it when it arrives, as well as fix my oil filter housing leak.
I am undecided if I want to remove the intake manifold for these projects, but it definitely would help if I did! I think with the oil fitler housing out of the way Ill have enough room.

So I jumped the gun on the sensor... turns out all my new injectors needed was a DME reset.
Clocked 31mpg average on the interstate over a course of 45 miles today :) Also picked up a 70,000 miles ZF320 and some new-to-me tires.
220,800 miles and running strong! I am sending out my UOA (used oil analysis) this week with my liquimoly... will post results here on the forum.

Update - got my smileys installed and learned how easy it is to take the bumper off :) even for one person it was a breeze.. I even used the OEM lugwrench tool to get the 4 nuts off ahahahahaha. Looking like a drift missle.
Pics of my new ZF320 :)
Pics of the smiley install. I used new connectors but junkyard pigtails. I saved roughly $50 this way. The pigtails can be found on every connector that uses this style, I grabbed the 90 degree ones mainly off e36 foglights and windshield washer pumps.
The high beams:
And the lows:
I cut the sealed beam connectors off, and then cut my pigtails to roughly the same length:
Brown is ground so just follow the colors like I did here:
I didnt get pics of the rest but basically just splice them in on car.
I wired my city lights through the sidemarker connectors and disconnected the lead for the sidemarker running lights - though now the OBC tells me the "parking lamp" failure so I need to clean it up.
They sure are pretty though!
And a pic of my new toolbox!

Why are you swapping to a 5spd? I am sure you know you have only one leg right? Don't setup some contraption when it is designed for two leg operators.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~
