      I drove it to work. And I managed to shoehorn a benchtop inside it because my daily is still broken :(

            Started yesterday with an oil change, new front rotors and a complete retorque of the front suspension along with a set of spacers to keep my dsII's from rubbing. Today hopefully I can get the camber/toe adjusters welded on for the rear so I can finish the 5lugz.

                I'm giving some serious thought to considering thinking about going out to the garage, and beginning the task of masking off my front and rear windshield seals so I can PlastiDip them.

                  1. Did a stomp test on it to determine the cause of a CEL/warm rough running/misfire condition.

                  2. Found it to be code 1252 "fuel injectors"

                  3. Bought some CRC electrical contact cleaner and some dielectric grease.

                  4. Went to inspect/clean the C101 under the intake - found it to look okay, cleaned it anyway, and found that the half mounted to the metal bracket thingy was not mounted properly - such that when it was connected, it was not a 100% tight fit. Remedied that, hit the contacts with some dielectric grease and snugged it up.

                  5. fired it up - ran it well past the point where I had been having the problem and it ran like a charm. Hoping I found and fixed my problem.

                  6. Ordered a new center emblem for my steering wheel and a cheap Chinese knock off wheelskins kit on eBay.

                      Over the past few days:

                      1. Replaced front sway bar end links - Completely worn out.
                      2. Replaced tie rod end bolts - both were stripped and clunking because they couldn't be tighted
                      3. Replaced Oil Control Valve - Completely stopped leaking oil!!!!
                      Easy but PITA job at the same time - nothing like laying on your back with a spring loaded cover and a spring clip pointed at your head.

                      4. Passed Va Safety and Emissions Inspections on the first try!

                      Now Road Legal! - I bought the car about 2 months ago and have been working on it to make it a weekend car / nice weather DD. Hope to start driving it to work a few times a week now that it's a bit cooler (no AC...yet).

                        removed the hood, removed boost, and removed the grills & kidneys. I'm trying to fit a volvo 740 intercooler and it's being a pita.

                              Well, thinking about it got the best of me, and I got bored. I started masking off my windshield seals so I can PlastiDip them. They're faded and gray-ish, and they make the whole car look bad (to an anal OCD sufferer like me).

                                ordered brembo brakes for all four corners, time to get rid of my glazed rotors.
