Mike,
How many miles when you had to do all this?

Installed a single lugnut for Ms. Pintsize last night after she lost one of her locking lugnuts on her new wheels.

Also purchased a bottle of Motul RBF600 from her for a clutch fluid bleed.

I need to do this

Car idle has definitely been erratic enough to warrant it. I plan to take it a step further and clean the throttle bodies as well.

That'll be fun if you haven't bypassed the TB heater yet.

Can't tell if serious... I wasn't expecting this to be very difficult, but I'm a little gun shy after my recent failed attempt to change the brake pads on Ms. Pint's Z (something that should NOT have been as difficult as I apparently made it).

Are you just referring to the coolant lines that can be removed per this DIY?

I thought about doing that this past summer but never got around to it. I just recently drove the Z out in freezing weather for the first time, so I'm even less inclined to do it now, though I like the solenoid valve idea that someone mentioned in the DIY. If you are talking about something else entirely or just speaking to the difficulty, please, enlighten me

If you're talking about just the MAF sensors, then sure. If you are including the TBs, let me do mine first
