Timing Belt Party / Check - In

[Bishop]

oh so you had to mail them in? the way my friend worded it, was everything was done online.... i heard about getting it directly deposited into your acct.

i should get going on mine, today. state return is looking pretty nice. federal... well i have to pay. i always opt to pay them at the end of the year.

I do a pretty simple tax for, mailed it in, getting returns for both. Sry U gotta pay though. I always see it like there's no reason not to do it when you get all the paperwork, the sooner you get it all in, the sooner you'll get paid (or have to pay).

[Atreus]

yeah. i'll prolly file my state today, deal with federal in march. lol.

some ppl opt to have too much taken out, i'm a little different. don't know if it is counting against me though.

/blah

[Bishop]

Pelican has a TB kit with belt and pulley for 35, but if you want to do more they have a tune up kit for 129
Oil Filter
Oil Drain Plug Seal
Air Filter
Fuel Filter
Valve Cover Gaskets
Valve Cover Nut Seals
Spark plugs
Spark plug Hole Seals (if applicable)
Rocker Shaft Plugs (if applicable)
Distributor Cap (if applicable)
Distributor Rotor (if applicable)

And you will need coolant, and oil of course if you decide to go that route.

[Bishop]

Thanks Sean, I'll look into that today. I just did my oil yesterday, so I'm good on that.

and to what extent is everyone ordering here? Like if I were to order all that stuff as the tune up, would it be amazingly time consuming and i'd be the asshole whose car took twice as long as everyone elses?

[stoliver54]

No pretty much all of that stuff is right there, the cap and rotor you take off during the TB install. Air filter takes 20 seconds, and fuel filter is easy to replace. And you get get your ass out of the way and replace your own spark plugs and wires :p

[Bishop]

Ok, I'll most definitely look into all that stuff. I didn't know just the belt and whatever was $35, I thought It was the $130 for the belt and such.... Huh

[Atreus]

well if the weather on the TB party is like today..... fuck that! lol.

[Bishop]

Eh, weather is gonna factor into who comes I bet. We'll be in a garage though, It's not like a super fancy warmed garage, but if people bring space heaters and we have enough people running around, should warm up.... maybe

[iamsam]

yeah, the weather today freaking SUCKS. i just drove an hour in it, and it got me all depressed and in a terrible mood. I just want to close all the shades, turn on all the lights, and stay inside. I was gonna do a bunch of car stuff today, but F that.

maybe it's just loveland.....here the streets are wet and very drivable, which is the determining factor for me.

Basically, If I can drive from boulder to broomfield without fishtailing into a taxi or idiot college kids, the weather is fine. Y'all are spoiled with your working heaters and doors that close all the way! Don't make me get out the flowery hat again!:p

[Bishop]

Roads down here are fine as well. Obviously it's overcast, cold, and wet, but it's a walk in the park compared to what Colorado CAN throw at us.

I'm gonna sit down tonight hopefully after all my audio is wrapped up and working (I HOPE!) and start putting together an order for my timing stuff, and perhaps other maintenance that should be done and I haven't gotten around to yet.

[stoliver54]

Ben you may want to look at your priorities again, speakers over running engine...hmmm

And the longer you wait the more you will have to pay in shipping, in a couple hours it isn't going to matter but come early next week you are going to wish you had put your order in sooner and saved 10-20 bucks.

Don't mean to nag, just speaking from experience.

[Bishop]

I know. Speakers and stuff, it is what it is. Everything was ordered and paid for like a month or two ago, just now getting around to getting it into the car. I'm placing the order tonight after I figure out what is NEEDED and what I might wanna replace while it's in there.
