Hey Guys and girls my names Chris A.K.A Chritters I used to own a 1986 Monte Carlo LS Done up to the nines, I actually won first place in my class at Monte Madness back in 2004. I was president of the Canadian Custom Car Club. It was a Monte Carlo carclub based out of Brooklin Ont Canada. I currently now own a 2000 Monte Carlo SS 3.8.[ATTACH]

Thanks Mike for the warm welcome and everyone else that took the time to post. i loved the 86 but thanks to the economy I had too sell it as its hard too keep a job here anymore, This new 2000 I have I love the look but its been nothing but a pain mechanically Its been a money pit and code after code keeps poping up, I still say its the computer but GM say no. They just want my money.

We got it running with some gas in the carb and had no ticks or even smoke. It's in storage now until spring then will under go a complete mechanical restoration . I also have a 1969 Ford Torino GT convertable and a 1983 Ford F250 superduty with only 17000 original miles. I am hoping for good advice in the future and making new friends from this forum.

Hey Mike where do you or any other Ontario Members get your auto parts from,I need wheel barings for my 2000 Monte SS and everyone is mentioning Timken Part 513121 but Im out of work and cant afford $125 each etc What other cheaper brands would you consider that are half decent and affordable.

The bearings for a FWD car will be alot more expensive than for the RWD models I have to think. I get the stuff for my old cars from Carquest, Napa or wrecking yards .
