Tried to diagnose a cylinder three misfire. Swapped the coils, returned to three. Pulled the plug and had oil on the threads and appeared fouled. Cleaned it best I could and swapped it with cylinder 1 which also had oil. Looks like I’ll be going VCG and Vanos sooner than I would have liked. Also changed out some old brittle vacuum hoses while I was there

Check your ccv too or replace it if you haven't already.
Thanks for the tip. Did that last summer along with replacing the intake boots. I just didnt have any spare vacuum hose at the time and just never got around to it. Also did a smoke test with the paint can method, no leaks that I could find

Club choice? I think I'd go 5 iron probably. I have trouble hitting an iron longer than that and I don't think you want to go to a wood or a hybrid.
Hmmm. I've got that one and no problems at all. Used it for a number of things. Works fine although I'm slightly careful with it, because sure plastic, but plastic doesn't have to / shouldn't mean totally fragile and unusable. Plastic can be perfectly / remarkably durable and strong as evidenced by all the plastic crap we have these days that doesn't actually break. Guys will crap on plastic when something breaks but totally ignore/don't-notice the fact that about 100 more things around them are made of polymers and are not breaking all the time, sometimes even in very harsh applications.
But back to topic - I recently used mine in a push/pull setup to help my pressure bleeder. I pressurize the MC, then at each corner hookup the Mityvac to suck it through even faster. (Plus the mity vac comes with that little fluid collector that acts as an airlock). Worked great.
Yeah. Recently I cranked up the swaybar settings on my M3 and the results were so tremendous that I'm thinking about biting the bullet and finally upgrading the front swaybar on the wagon, which I stupidly didn't do when headers and M5 steering box were going in. But I dread doing the subframe drop on the ground in my tiny garage.
