Morning all, going to put a 3.4 pulley and new belt on the monte today. Hopefully it responds well to more boost.

 

Good morning MCF!!
Thanks for starting todays blog Keane.
Hope everyone has a good day

 

Morning everyone. Just heard word that GM may have ok'd the shipment of Convertibles to the dealers. Will find out the new status of the Camaro on Thursday

have a good one

 

Good morning

 

Morning guys (afternoon to those in the east). Just figuring out my target for today. I'm a little less optimistic as the MCS has really cleared out the moisture. Not really willing to chase S TX as the hill country is pretty rough terrain. So I'll try to find a boundary to sit near and hope a storm latches onto it.

 

Afternoon all, pulley swap was pretty easy but had a huge fiasco with the belt, ended up making 4 trips to the parts store and in the end i ended up just using a factory sized belt

 

Hello MCF!

Keane did you notice any more power?

 

Uhh, to be honest not really, but i was busy paying attention to the gauges to make sure i wasn't going to blow anything up. At this rate i'm expecting minimal gains again lol.

 

Good evening MCF. Finally good warm weather is here for this week in Northwest Ohio. High 60's and low 70's!!!! Hopefully I can make time to do some projects on my daily driver Monte as the list is piling up and I can't keep up with it




With 225,000 miles, do you think it is worth it?




- Oil change


- Power Steering leak. Replaced reservoir and O-ring but still leaks at res & pump connection. Thinking of replacing entire system (rack, low pressure line, high pressure line, cooling line, pump and another reservoir)


- Finish my retouch of painting that I did not complete last fall


- Repaint my spoiler and get it finally remounted


- Remount third brake light in trunk


- Finally, finally, finally install my high sport ground effects that I have had for 6 years. Had them repainted last summer but did not install because I never finished touch paint on car body.


- Un-mount old tires from spare rims and strip clear off the alloy rims with a chemical metal stripper. Then buy new Michelin tires.


- Re-install dash trim


- Install the roof rails I bought 1-2 years ago


- Get an new intermediate pipe made for my SLP exhaust. Exhaust flange is rotting and has an exhaust leak.
