No clutch = Timing belt job
well my clutch didnt make it from southbend[headbang] they had it week before last! i had my differential and tranny fluid 2nd day air'ed to me to make sure i got it all in since southbend assured me it would be in by friday.... so i figured i would tackle this timing belt job..
easy as can be except for mounting the belt of course.... all my marks are still lined up so i pray its ok!
if not ill be quite pissed if my car sounds like a diesel when it starts as ive put a fair amount of work into it the past two weeks!
so here is my photograph journey!
boring i know, just headlights off

i was by myself (no one wants to be my friend when i need car help!)... not so fun

yeah ive beer working out

perks of being lowered[headbang]

this coolant was nasty! i have new g12 and distilled water!

ac condensor off.. be careful with the power steering cooler even though im fitting to junk it

lock carrier away! two man job! i didnt realize that until it pretty much fell off!

this stock intercooler is just downright crappy... my **** is longer than it! (and thicker too)

but all is still well. i have this to replace it! small one will be for power steering, im going to use AN barbs to replace the OEM cooler lines i believe

timing belt was PERFECT!!!! i have 77k and i run it hard... not a single crack, no leaking around the water pump or anything! i couldnt believe it! plus i have (well had) the plastic impeller water pump! new one is much better!

finally new timing belt installed......

i didnt button it back up because my serpentine adjustor pulley didnt spin very well so im going to go ahead and replace it.... all the other pulleys spun freely so i think ill leave them! although if its only $10-20 i might just replace the other roller pulley too
Now i just need my clutch so i can drive my car again![=(]
