Nice work guys. Charlie, I forgot I have a set of those fog covers. I need to install them when my car gets back from getting a little body work.

Today Charrie and I did a thorough cleaning of my engine bay. It was in dire need, and it came out perfectly!
Also replaced my washer pump strainer for my windshield reservoir. It was leaking all of my fluid out.

Yeah. 3 in the family.

1) Fixed the Khoalty angel eyes 'dangling' issue. The way the clips hold the outer angel eyes onto the headlamp results in the ring not being fully secure and it moves when the car goes over bumps or when I shut the door after parking (a friend commented - 'hey why is your light moving?'). Fixed that with gluing the clip to the ring and securing it properly with some additional padding.

2) Checked tire-pressure on all tires and topped-up

3) Took the car for a drive. Last few weeks before I have to change into winter tires

I took the aspheric aftermarket mirrors off and re-installed the original side mirrors today. Just never got used to the aspheric mirrors. Now have the original mirrors adjusted to have the max widest view.

Topped everything off, adjusted tire pressure, and then thrashed her around Harris Hill Road in San Marcos

What procedure do you use? I always get so nervous adding moisture with electricals in there.

You can be pretty rough and even do a light spray with a hose. Just cover the main electronics area and don't stick a high pressure nozzle up close to anything.

Use low pressure only, and don't spray directly on to electrical wires. Otherwise, a bottle of Simple Green is all you need in addition to the hose.

Installed the intake boots I've had sitting in a box for a week or two. The project reminded why I haven't done more DIY car maintenance. It wasn't a big project or particularly tough or anything... Just very cramped quarters, a crappy BMW design and installation, and my big hands. It made for a little frustration and something to take two or three hours when it could have taken less than an hour.
