    I washed her today, and replaced that trim piece above the sun visoes.
    Drill a hole in a penny and put it in front of the ICV to limit the amount of air going into the engine (In my case, the idle would start at around 1k and eventually climb to a steady 2.5k on an eta. Needless to say, this was fucking annoying.). I started with a 1/4" hole and that was too big. Ended up with a 3/16 or 1/8, can't remember, but it solved my ridiculously high idle. Now it chills at around 600-800.

              Broke something when making a tight uphill accel-turn in 1st gear. There was a loud BONK noise, and now it squeaks when the RR trailing arm moves. I probably blew out the sway bar mount...

                bought e36 m3 control arms (used) and continued cleaning garage.

                ran out of tool-chest space for tools, need to go to Search and get intermediate chest piece. Oh well, Monday I'll put the rest of stuff up.

                                * Just put the third coat of paint on my rear valance, probably do 2 more.

                                * Got both of my Recaros back in the car, now with functioning seat belts.

                                * Hoping to fix my rear bumper this weekend, then get the it and the front bumper ready for paint.

                                * Waiting for a return confirmation/credit from BMA, so I can order my engine gasket kit and at least get my head installed, and get started putting the engine back together.
