PS - welcome to the forum.

Ohshit. This explains the soggy throttle on my way to work today.

Lol, and thanks, thrilled to be here.

Finished putting on some used RCE in my rear and SPC LCA, took 4.5 hours roughly. First one took 3 hours, 2nd one took an hour, 30 mins to clean up and tighten everything.

A few LED mods today. First, some under hood lighting. There are two 12" strips on the underside of the hood (the little ridge just before the sound deadening material) and then three strips under the lip at the firewall. I had a similar mod in my previous car and the firewall lights lit up the oil filter and dipstick... here they are more for just looking cool, but still a functional mod as they are very bright LEDs. I'm not crazy about the color and may replace them with something less blue and closer to the next mod (but the wiring harness I made makes it easy to swap the strips out). The wiring harness is all custom and the strips are just some junk I picked up at AutoZone as my go-to for LEDs (VLEDS) doesn't carry the weatherproof strips I need.

Next, some really bright 6000K footwell lights hooked into the dome circuit (I also have dim colored footwell lights that come on with the lights for mood lighting). These are a perfect match for my map light bulb. Links to both below. Oh and I also scored some stock carpet mats on ebay. My lightly used 86 had WeatherTech mats which I'll use in the winter, but are pretty ugly that well lit if you don't need them in the summer months.

What are the specs on the studs? They look longer.

I'm not sure exactly but they are about two times the length of OEM. Open ended lug nuts are pretty much required for these.

Installed genuine TRD front lip and skirts, and then changed the oil.

Finally got around to detailing it this weekend. Had not gotten a chance to do it at all this year.
Friday: Washed
Saturday: Cleaned interior, claybar
Sunday: Touch up paint, polish, sealant

It is now shiney AF.

That's pretty long!

Why is that?

I'm impressed - that would have taken me a week ..

These studs are meant to be used in conjunction with wheel spacers, I believe, which I don't use. Thankfully Muteki lugnuts are long enough that the studs don't stick out of them. Though, you can see the dome tip and it actually provides a nice contrast to the otherwise black wheels/tires/lugnuts setup. I'll probably paint them black if I get tired of the look.

Didn’t do anything to my 86, but I bought a new toy.

If it would make you feel any better, when I have the oil changed in my car, I mark the old filter before I take it in. Then, after the oil change, while the car is still in the lot, I check to make sure the filter has been changed.

In addition, I check the oil dip stick to make sure they put the right amount new oil in and it was in fact new oil. I also look under the car to make sure there isn't any oil dripping from the drain plug -

Gosh humfrz, a little bit of me has died. With your background, experience and knowledge, I would have taken you for someone who does his own oil & filter changes. Especially on this car as it is so simple, starting with the cup-holder for the filter.
BTW, on the rare times someone else has done my changes it has always been overfilled which can be bad.
