Timing belt time! The wagon goes in for a bunch of goodies on Sunday. Timing belt, water pump, idler pulleys, ac tensioner pulley, ac and alt.power steering belts, silicon radiator hoses, and a lightweight crank pulley (while its off ).

Also picked up an ACT clutch and flywheel for the future.

Fresh Tune

Took the car down to Precision for a retune after I thought everything was fixed. Cleo hooked up the smoke machine and found the bov and throttle body leaking. Those were fixed and then ran into problems with the wideband. I also forgot the high boost spring for the mbc. Only running 20psi. Should help save the trans I guess.

325whp and 296wtq.

Bunch of other pics of the shop and stuff.

More FMIC Pics

Oh and some more pics… just in case some of you are interested on how the fmic fits. I’m not entirely thrilled about how the fog light just sits in its place instead of being bolted down. I dont know if I cut more than I had to or what.

Changed the oil filter today and opened the hood to fill the oil. Found this big guy cooked to death.
