3)Soldered in new batteriesi
4)Polished plastic console cover(Plastx) (although difference barely noticeable)
5)Replaced everything, cleaning things along the way
6)Reset it

I also swapped in a new ICV -- hope it fixes my idle problem.

I also bought all the goodies to do a tranny fluid and diff fluid change (Redline MTL and 75-90, 17mm hex, fluid pump, etc). Hope to do it tomorrow.

That was my day, any else care to share their most recent accomplishments?

full front suspension rebuild, and head rebuild with some hairy cams. plan to convert all to redline fluids soon, and perhaps a lightend flywheel and some new 16's or lighter 17's
