I've been looking for a place to belong
My name is Matt.I live in Memphis Tn and I own a 2002 Monte Carlo LS. Im looking foward to getting to know everyone here

 

How's it running?
What is it? Stock, ... or, have you done Mods?

 

Right now its stock.I've really been wanting to get into modding my car but I wouldnt even know where to start.
I have lots of questions that I'll be asking and hopefully you all can help me get my car to become something completely different.I'll upload pics of it in the morning.

 

welcome Matt.....I live on the other end of the state in the Tri-city area....be coming to Tunica in March and again in April....big game on the line Saturday night, downtown in Memphis.....#1 Memphis vs #2 UT....again welcome to the forum.....

 

 

Welcome to the site - post pics soon

 

Welkomen!

 

Welcome to the Official Unofficial Monte Carlo Forum, Matt. We are happy to have you aboard. We love pics, so get some up soon!! You'll find lots of different characters here, don't be shy...we're all family!

See you in the threads!

 

Welcome to the site!

Glad to have you here.

 

I started with the stuff the PO neglected. Air Filter: Stock. But the PO NEVER changed the original in 68,000 Miles. Cabin Air Filter: Same deal. Plugs and Wires. Oil and Filter. Fresh Brake Fluid. Top-off Tranny Fluid. Suck-out the Power Steering Fluid and add fresh stuff.

That brings you up-to-date on Scheduled Maintenance.

I guess everybody's 1st Performance Mod is the "U-Bend Delete" ... Substituting a straight piece of exhaust pipe replacing the U-shaped piece that houses the O-2 Sensor in the Exhaust System.

I haven't gotten that U-bend done yet; but it's in the works.
Supposedly, the easiest and cheapest Mod for an additional 5 Horse Power.
Requires welding in the new piece. I need some weekend MIG Time but guys with the MIG have no room in the shop for my Monte and there's a new 10-Inches of snow blowing around outside. I'm not working outside until I can crawl under the car on dry warm pavement!
