Matt - How did the TB go?

 

well, it's done. I hit a couple of snags during the process though: torqued the head off of a bolt while replacing the water pump and learned how to use easy-outs, then I pulled the pin on my tensioner to find that the belt was off by one tooth, figured out how to compress the tensioner again, re-aligned the gears and belt, then put everything back together.

all in all, not that bad of a job if you don't screw anything up. anyhow, it's out of the way.

I'll be doing brakes as soon as the weather gets better, followed by a boost gauge, test pipe, GIANT K & N filter, exhaust, and ipod adapter from the cd changer plug in the trunk.

Most of that stuff is pretty straight forward, but if anyone wants to come figure it out or spectate, let me know.

 

Good man wlecome to the tb club. I was just going to ask how it went. How about the bumber did it survive? Any pics or video?

 

Bumper's good. It really took some yanking to get it off but it gave in after a heated battle.

No pics or video of anything. I figured the DIY on audidiy.com was good enough. The only thing I might offer on that is how to compress the tensioner if needs be.

I'm glad it's all out of the way though. It's nice to have that peace of mind.

 

how was that party? I couldn't make it down because my tb job crept into Sunday.

 

I'll have to explain it to you some time because this is a public forum, but unreall is all I can say, note to self the next one is July 18th and I'm already signed up so mark it on your calender you don't want to miss it.

 

^^so um what exactly went on at this party hhhhhmmmmm??? If it included spandex, vaseline and bandaids count me in next time....lol

I got 2 o2 sensors to change how hard is that to do?

 

On my car they're not that bad, but your engine bay is a little more crowded. I was able to rip out my airbox and get to one of them easily enough.

Let's get in there and get em swapped out though.

 

i was searching and it looks like it will be a lil pain in the butt...but i think its doable....do you or anybody know of a place for a good deal on problem free o2 sensors?? OEM are $160 per sensor 0_o

 

Sorry been awhile, Spandex - check vasoline - who frogot the vasoline? damn it timmy. lol Ok for real O2 senors which ones bank 1 or bank 2 and frontor rear. Front's are a pain in the *** rears are a little easier. Call genesis they could probably get you a deal on some o2 sensors.
