Pulled my 6 month old Bosch Silver plugs and made sure they were gapped correctly.
Replaced plug wires with the Beru variety.
Replaced intake bellows with a nearly-new one.
Preventatively, shot some DeOxit into all the plug wire connections (and coil wire, ICV, AFM, TPS connections) before re-connecting them.

Took the track wheels off, put the RSs back on and cleaned the numbers off my windows.

Pulled the drivers seat, welded a broken rear lift bracket then reinstalled that heavy bastard.

I thought fondly of it. Sitting forlorn and alone in the dark garage with just a battery tender for company.

Half-assed fixed my heat. Can't get a new solenoid valve, so I removed the lower stopper. Yeah I know, but it' getting cold.

Cat delete & swapped valve bodies...

Passed another California smog ck. This time with my aftermarket ECU... Glad it's over. Celebrated with a car wash and vacuum. For some reason the engine runs smoother when the car is clean..., weird

Fixed the holes behind the front wheels and put the snow tires on the IS.Both jacking points rusted off and left nice holes to do my Flintstone impersonation. NOT the M535i folks.

Heading to shop in the A.M. to complete 5-speed swap....thought about taking pics, but said "screw it" and just got to work. Spent day one, Friday, ripping donor car apart, pulling 5-speed trans, pedals, etc. and prepping my car for swap (drained trans, removed cooler lines, etc). Day two, today (Saturday) I pulled my auto tragic, interior bits and auto shifter. Installed clutch, rebuilt 5-speed shifter with z3 short throw lever and new bushings and mounted sheet metal shifter mount. 5 mile run in the early Sunday A.M. and then back to shop to finish. Well almost; I will have to weld up exhaust Monday and tidy up a bit. It will be worth it. Only working about 8 hours a day and having to tear apart donor made it a longer project.

Drove it, and became quickly dismayed when the thing started idling at around 1500rpm. I thought I had that idle thing licked.
