Just a heads up that the NWORSCCA event #10 has been changed form Fostoria to the Toledo Express Airport (TEA) for 10/14/2012. I'll be there like always.

Do it and you might as well just put your brakes on as well.

really bored at work. On a scale of "any idiot with hand tools and a torque wrench can do it" to "you might want to seek a professional" ...how hard is installing new valves and valve springs?

I since I'm not sure of the millage on the used head I got I figured it can't hurt to freshen it up so it's good for the long haul

What's the hardest thing you've ever done on a car?

and it worked properly afterwards? (boom01)

I would say changing the cams and timing belt.

Having the right tools for that one makes all the difference

LOL! Nice, Nate. I think you could handle it.

And you can borrow the tool from Autozone.

Timing belt on a 420a motor in a 99 Eclipse N/a.

Not having proper tools = broken cam sprocket, missed alignment by 1 tooth

I was a noob and learned my lesson. Now I don't start big jobs without all the tools in place.

Lol I have never had so much interaction with friends on my Facebook page as once I got the smart. Everyone posts smart car pics on my wall!! I could do that scheme with plastidip. But I just repainted the damn car lol.

 

[Josue6WGN]

You just repainted the Smart?

Yeah... as the others have said, just get the valve spring removal tool. It's not crazy complex, but can be a pain without proper tools.

 

[XCLR8TN]

Yeah it's pearl white now. Was sick of black. Almost painted the whole thing with a quart. Needed a pint to finish the ground effects.

By Sunday it will be a little different yet lol.

 

[rally2003]

Looks nice Jess. You should have taken a pic on the bike trail inthe back.

 

[Josue6WGN]

Nice improvement!

My old band is playing with the Canton Symphony Orchestra and I just bought tickets for $30 each. Oy vey! I should've just stuck around a while longer and got to play the bloody gig. Haha. Should be fun though.

speaking of music- if anyone knows a bassist looking for a like new Carvin bass rig let me know. This one just doesn't have to tone I'm looking for so I'm buying my old one back from a friend. Team Ohio discount of $600.
