Re: Where's the DIY's?!

DIY's would help a bit but around here we usually just go to each others houses and help them out hence the lack of write ups.

Re: Where's the DIY's?!

Haha i definitely agree with the statement. If anybody is looking for help you just post up and somebody usually offers to come over and take a look

Re: Where's the DIY's?!

I just did these while I was changing my oil:

Intercooler clean and de-oil:

Starter was tough to get out! It was much easier with the bumper off though. Havent heard the noise yet which is awesome! My intercooler only had like a tablespoon of oil in it...lol weirdly I was hoping for more to justify the work! Everything went back together relatively easy. I also wetsanded and polished my headlights since I had them off. Took the car out and no CEL! WOOT!

I can do you one better, when are you planning on doing it, I can come up and help you out

Re: Where's the DIY's?!

I just need the parts then should be ready to rock as well as a valve cover gasket. I am always hesitant about doing this just cause timing in my mind is a bit intimidating. Would love a hand with it, I will keep you notified, most likely next weekend.

Re: Where's the DIY's?!

Okay the weekend of July 7/8 is my bday so that probably wont work. Weekend of the 14/15 is streetwheelers in Lethbridge if i decide to go. Weekend of the 21/22 is the best weekend because i am free both saturday and sunday. Let me know

Re: Where's the DIY's?!

Well happy early birthday. Two to three weeks may work better, it will allow me to get all the parts needed, gain some extra knowledge on the topic and lastly, clear a spot in the garage.

Update as to your plan on when to do this?
