it's only 10:30? i'm going home after lunch. I can't deal with this all day. I can't even read online without my eyes starting to cross.

 

so, how hard is it really to change the belts on the Z? I'm at the stealership getting my oil changed and car washed, and they said it was a pain in the **** on the Z. I looked at the DIY, and it looks fairly easy. The most difficult part to me it seems is having to remove the cover underneath the car. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being hardest), how is it? I'm pretty good at mechanical type stuff. I'm guessing maybe a 4?

 

im actually going to have travis (WalkerT) change mine once i go get the belts. look him up and he will quote you a very price to put them on for you.

 

It's like a 2 or 3 then again I didn't actually do it my buddy did and we used a lift.

 

I need to replace mine here soon too - thats one of those things where I would rather pay someone to do it for me.

 

DANG - I could be stocked up on beer for at least a month...LOL...

I plan on doing mine soon as well...Im seeing cracks in them... Shoot, might even do them next friday..

 

have you ever done them before?

 

does your butt feel sore?

 

OMG!!!

 

^^^^ X2 Hahaha... Sooo wrong.

Felt like taking a picture today.

 

Car is on jack stands - I'm going in!

 

I have to get an inspection done too, I forgot last month. I'm worried though because I took my mom's Lexus to get one, and her gas cap failed the test. WTF? apparently it didn't hold a seal or some dumb ish. I think they are trying to rip people off, so I may take it to Sewell, if they do them. I have to go there anyway to talk to them about a summer job. Washing cars alll day FTW!

 

Even if it fails you have a certain amount of time to get it fixed anyways. I have had my gas cap fail once, they passed me anyways (on my integra). I have to get my Inspection + Registration by the end of this month. Knowing me I will get it on the very last day of the month.

 

my inspection is due this month and my registration is next month. personal plates ftl.

 

new belts on. tightening everything up.

 

and done! Definitely worth it to save $100 over stealership.

 

Wow, that didn't take you very long.

 

Quang, man! Those rims look good.

 

Wheel bearing going out ftl. Another day driving illegally without inspection also ftl. Do wheel bearings usually start going at 30k?

 

Surprisingly, it didn't. Just got back from a test drive and no squeals. All seems good. I know now that I need a shop light and a floor jack. Cranking the Z up with the provided scissor jack is a pain in the rear. I looked like a real computer geek with my laptop out in the garage looking at the DIY.
