wanna help with my 1st timing belt?

[Dante]

i've got a list of what i'm gonna do

timing belt
water pump
thermostat
rad hoses
pull AC(non-working, and i have deep seeded hatred of AC)
fuel filter
pull bumper,fender liners, belly pan and repair all
duct "ram air"
finalize cold air box


i took monday and tuesday off work and will be workin' on the car night and day

I can only guess from your handle that you're from the Great White North, eh? Maybe that explains your "deep seeded hatred of AC". Maybe you haven't lived through rush-hour traffic in a car with no AC in August in DFW? I think that about covers it...

Dante... i thrive on the heat!

i love it!

i am the idiot with his top down ALL the time! rain...45mph... cold? turn on the heat, wear a sweater, and heat... i love the summer, nights at 99, days at 110*F.... just keep moving(find the "scenic route", which is almost always faster) on the way to work. it makes life fun.

btw... with my top down, i've seen....

owls bigger than the car
birds of prey flying
birds of prey eating at the side of the road
stars as bright as headlights

i love it!


P.S. after 12+ years in DFW from Toronto and Vancouver, i miss the snow but i'm still blown away when i put the top down in Jan, Feb,Mar....

PSS the last snow we had in DFW was 2 or 3 years ago...... i went INSANE!!! it was 3 am and i went out for a "spin"..... EVERY intersection was a 360* affair... it was such a flashback.....
