Repaired the leather on the driver seat bolster where it had worn and discolored.
Used some posh black leather thing, kind of reminded me of shoe polish. And then went at it with my normal Zaino conditioner and cleaner. Looks mint now I also realised that I need to start taking photo`s of this stuff that i`m doing |

Well I Replaced my Coolant Reservoir, the always breakable bleeder hose & the top radiator hose. Got a new Radiator coming this week because I figured just replace that too & all the hoses. since the bleeder line broke recently & left me stuck like chuck.i figure do it all so I'll be better safe than sorry. I also will be replacing my oil filter housing gasket. I just noticed some oil around it.

I replaced my cabin air filter and stared at my block for a bit to hunt for oil leaks.
I have a question: I noticed my headlights weren't level, so I set out to adjust them. As I got the headlights level, I went back to running lights, and they were now off. So were high beams by the same amount. So I leveled the running lights. Now, running lights and high beams are level and where they seem like they should be, and headlights are off (right is higher). Is the universe telling me to just run my high beams all the time? |

Do you not have self adjusting headlights? If so, I would check the bracket on the driver side control arm because it may have come loose.

Re: self-levelling - not that I know of? I just have a white hex key thing I can use to lower/raise each side. But I can google the recommended headlight pattern. Lastly: I was 100% joking about high beams. I HATE seeing drivers do that. |

Rotiform WGR 18x9.5 Square, 235/40 on Toyo Extensa HP IIs. Got the set for $150, payed $75 to get a cracked one repaired and have been using them for the last year. Got them so cheap because he curbed them pretty bad on top of the crack

Oil change Tire rotation New engine air filter I know, boring. But hey, it's an N52; it doesn't break.

Put the kitty back on. Didn't have replacement bellhousing bolts at the time for the bracket so I just went ahead and installed without.
Then a few weeks later I got paranoid about not having the bracket so I jimmy rigged it back on by cutting off the upper stud. That way I could be lazy and install the bracket without removing the O2 sensor. Ended up not being able get a nut and bolt on the upper mount cause its hella tight so I'm just rocking it with one bolt on the cat bracket. I guess one bolt is better than none..... |

Performed an oil change and replaced the cabin microfilter. It now has 210,035 miles on the clock! I also gave it a quick wash.
