Well I've had the parts quite a while and finally got it done this weekend with the help of my son Ryan (home from VT for the summer). New timing belt, tensioner, water pump, OEM clutch, pressure plate , and throw out bearing, pilot bearing, Fidenza light weight flywheel, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, all new AC,PS,Alt belts. Took us about 8/9 hours over Saturday and Sunday. Every thing went well except had a weird problem with the fuel filter. My car has a small 10M bolt with 2 washers going through the banjo bolt on the top of the filter and it leaked gas, finally put in a different bolt with just one washer and it sealed fine. Never had that happen before. Still have to install SS brake lines, Cobalt GTS pads, new front rotors, super blue fluid, new Koni Yellows and GC springs. Also need to scuff my new Azenis on my stock 15" rims, and change the oil just before we go.

Oh CRAP, I just realized I was logged in as my son Ryan! This post is really from his Dad, richardb53!

 

Nice Rich.

 

Good work. Sounds like it's ready to go.

 

cool!
Just give yourself enough time to bleed the brakes after putting in new lines before expo, it could take a while...

 

Yeah I will. I have a new vaccum pump tool so that will be a good test of it.

 

so your goin to expo , is your son coming too ?

i wish me and my dad had a relationship like that .

we have a good felationship , but it would be better if he "accidently" signed on HT as me, and had an ITR to boot !!

YOU ROCK POPS!!!!!

</TD></TR></TABLE> Absolutely Ryan will be there. Its his 4th EXPO driving, my first (although I was a spectator at #3,5 & 7).

 

Looks great Richard!

 

Nice. I just wish my dad could see well enough to come watch me at a track event.

 

wow super prepared man, hope all goes well look forward to pics and stories as i cant make it as a spectator (this year) hah livin in NZ owns me,

id suggest a radiator flush also with new coolant, as you may find it could block after abuse and water flow will be restricted causing over heating
