How hard is it to install new lenses?
Pretty, pretty, pretty easy

17" wheels mounted today!
Running the old snow tires for now but I'll be swapping over the blizzaks I was running on the M3 2 years ago.

Went to the Dells this weekend for an indoor 24/7 softball tournament.
The Temps were pretty low outside.
On the way back in go to check the oil and notice it's higher than normal. In my head I'm like "here we go" as I reach over to check the oil cap and of course, a little bit of some baby diarrhea.
Drove it all the way home (Milwaukee) from the dells is no issue. Temp stayed rock solid but I was going easy on her.
I'll take a look at it today maybe it fixed itself.
In the meantime one can dream:

After some research I am replacing the CCV system. After taking it apart I found out that I have the old style dip stick tube that freezes up and backs up the system in cold weather.
The pics:
Mouse nest
Old boot. I have a new one.
Someone put some silicone ATV stuff on that flapper thingy.
Dirty injectors. New o-rings coming soon
.Nasty.
One leaf fell into the cylinder. Luckily it blew it out with the air gun.
Got some swag from my buddy!
Got everything off and just need to clean it all up and run new vacuum lines. The vacuum line to the exhaust and to the charcoal canister were both broken and very brittle. Glad I'm getting into the motor and freshening it up.
Now time for a beer and some GREEN BAY PACKER FOOTBALL!!!!

It isn't too bad. But the vacuum hoses were a bit of a pain.

Click it or ticket
Is there anything else on the list for this car in the future? Have the suspension bushings been replaced before?
I don't think they have been replaced.
There is an oil pan gasket in its future and probably do a water pump and thermostat soon.
I'm getting the catalyst inefficiency codes still and they popped up regularly for the last couple thousand miles. Headers with no cats and flash the software? Slosh lemon juice through the cats to clean them? Bueller?

Missed an upload. New o-rings on the injectors. These were a PITA! My fingertips were raw afterwards.
The car has been running great! There seems to be no oil consumption at all after 200 miles. Super pumped!
I'm still getting post cat O2 sensor codes on both banks. I will be doing a water pump and a T-stat soon. Hopefully the t-stat is sticking open and not letting the car get to operating temp. If not, headers and software to come. Not what I want to be doing to this car but that engine light is annoying.

Dude, I hear ya with those injector o-rings! I did them over the weekend and putting the new ones on was way harder than I anticipated!

A small pick is a must for replacing those o-rings. Definitely a good tool to keep around.

I used that to get them off but getting them on was a pain. I'm not sure if leadballs experience was the same.
