MEMBER'S BLOG & Check In: Saturday 3/19/11
Hello all, been busy with a bunch of crap, new job, friends, family, ect... and sick again wtf.... going to go clean out the saty, she's looking like a trash pit then we have a wedding to go to tonight, hope everyone is haveing a good time
Todd to awncer your question from yesterday, it is not advised to do that becuase it could have egg shaped either the rod or crank, you could do that if you pulked the motor had a new crank and had the rod check and honed to fit oversided bearings, i got luck with the saty when mine went becuase i cought it earlie enought where it didn't egg shape or scratch the hell out of the rod so i put in a new crank and bearings,

I'm back, a little frustrated but things are kinda ok with me and my Monte!!
Justin can probably elaborate a little more because I sent him quite a few text messages...
new calipers and brakes are on, just thrying to figure out if there is to much pedal lag, I can't really tell because the rotors were so bad on my car it's kinda hard to remember what felt good before, yes I'm babbling, got up way to early for a Saturday and I'm hungry and I've just about had it for now! My team is playing it 30 minutes and I have to get focused for that....... also got a code from the scanner that my mechanic was using because he was going to do a PA state inspection, but he couldn't because the code would make my car fail emissions testing....
The code is P0171, Bank 1 lean, and he thinks it could be why the pedal is kinda soft due to a possible bad brake booster? I'm gonna take my car back on Monday evening and have the other mechanic check it out. Ok, I'm done....

That sucks Chris. I wish Pitt luck tonight. I did get my ding picked out. I own the guy dinner - not too shabby. When we got home my fiance wet sanded and buffed my hole door out - there was still overspray on the door from my accident over a year ago and it was driving my fiance crazy so he fixed it!
Evening all back from the casino didn't do too bad came out with more than we went in with.
My HID bulbs came today I installed them and I have a bad ballast so no bright lights for me yet GRRRRR.

Alright...
Went to pull aparrt with a friend of mine and got nothing... he got an idea of what he could use from another car to fix his.
Justin. I have no urge to s/c my car... I will do a turbo though. Im going to wait for a new tranny first though.
I am excited about the metal manifold just because im going to put an adapter and n* throttle body on it. (Btw, is there anything else I need other than just the tb and adapter?)
