    Nice and corrosion free headlights! Wish mine were like this... Did you clean your projector lenses too? They look foggy. I cleaned mine with glass cleaner, light output like... quadrupled :D

      ^ good sir. That pic of them on the counter is actually prior to going in the dishwasher.

      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!

            Wao. They already look like new (compared to wintersalt-sesoned ones).

                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!

                        I should also add I got my new federal 595s mounted up on my rear wheels. 235/40R17s on 17X9 - it is my idea of perfect stretch.

                          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.

                              How are you going to drive it with one leg? You know there is three pedals right?
