Bonneville is a great fucking car.

Trunk isn't big enough for my hockey stuff, though.

9/2/2005 1:56:31 AM

its got about the biggest trunk ive seen in a while, sounds like you need an SUV

9/2/2005 6:14:59 AM

today my tires made this high pitched noise, and my TRACION CONTROL and ABS lights went on... ??? !!!

9/2/2005 6:08:41 PM

I cleaned it up some today, began learning all the flaws in the paint. I havent decided if its worth a clay bar treatment yet.

Looks tyte, but tyres could be 40% wetter looking.

9/20/2005 11:09:28 PM

yeah except im not niggerish enough to put on tire shine before I get my junk rotated and balanced

9/20/2005 11:29:01 PM

not bad for home made, huh?

10/7/2005 12:03:59 AM

that car is in excellent condition.

from the outside that is.

my paint doesn't reflect like the one where you can see the clouds on your hood.

10/7/2005 12:23:58 AM

looks better than pvc pipe

10/7/2005 12:29:45 AM

^^ that was right after a very intense cleaning. that shine lasts about 12 hours then looks like every other black car. i desperately need to polish and wax it, but im lazy. i would pay someone to do it, but I dont have anyone that i trust not to swirl my paint all up.

^ damn right, and I only have $35 in materials. made from an old RSX intake and stuff from home depot and pepboys.

10/7/2005 1:02:51 AM

it's ok
where's the type r sticker on the intake thouough is that a ngr valve on that intake

10/7/2005 1:17:54 AM

I may not have you in a straight line, but i'll take you in the twisties!!!!!!!111!!

10/7/2005 1:37:46 PM

is an intake really going to help out performance at the expense of letting in more dirt?

10/7/2005 2:31:28 PM

I dont know, its installed on a probationary basis at the moment. If I dont like it, then it comes off. I actually prefer the better filtration and less airflow of paper filters over blowthrough "dirt strainer" oiled cotton fiber or gauze, but who makes a paper element cone filter?

10/7/2005 7:03:18 PM

if it fits, an s2000 paper cone filter works great.

10/8/2005 3:35:15 AM

preparing extensive tune up/systems overhaul and preventative maintenance extravaganza

accessory belt
supercharger belt
waterpump
heater hoses
coolant elbow
total coolant flush
clean/replace coolant temp/level sensors
plugs
wires
fuel filter
overhaul supercharger nosedrive, install new coupler
clean intake/throttle body/MAF/IAT/EGR and replace gaskets/o-rings
replace transmission filter/total fluid change
drop pan/replace oil level sensor

I was thinking of buying a little car to get back and forth while I worked on the car in the garage at home, but I dont know about that.. the current plan is doing all this over one weekend.

I would like to install a modular pulley system, but dont know if thats really cost effective right now. I have a nice little list of other stuff I still need/want to get done like the AC compressor or drivers seat upholstery.

12/1/2005 11:58:43 PM

i take it ur keepin it

12/2/2005 12:07:11 AM

make sure to use a GM supercharger belt (unless there is a specific belt from some forum site)

my dads old riviera ate 3 cheap parts house belts in 4 months, GM belt 100K + miles

i wish it wasn't so damned difficult to do this on my car. it would run/idle smoother.

fuckin honda.

12/2/2005 9:01:17 PM

its no cakewalk on my car, i have to remove everything from the SC so I dont get cleaner on the coated vanes or rotors or screws or whatever they are called

12/3/2005 9:01:45 PM

I have $texas worth of parts waiting to go on this car, now I just need the time to get it all done.

12/20/2005 8:44:45 PM

Well no more putting it off, I had an idler pulley bearing fail friday night. I worked saturday tearing it down, and sunday cleaning parts and overhauling the SC and am just about ready to start putting it back together. Should be running like new for the new year.

"idler pulley"

Is that the same as the belt tensioner?

Reason I'm wondering is because I think the bearings on my Bonne might be dying too. There's this intermittent metallic rattling/tapping sound which I think might be some bad bearings but I haven't been able to pinpoint the source of the problem. Is the idler pully or tensioner a common problem on this engine?

12/26/2005 6:24:44 PM

the idler pulleys and tensioner pulleys are pretty similar, some have grooves some dont. because its the supercharged engine, i have two serpentine belts, two tensioners and two idlers. the bearings on the tensioners wernt bad yet but all the idlers were. the way to check is take the belt loose and spin it by hand and listen. if its nice and smooth then youre alright, if it sounds like a millipede rollerskating on glass then change it before it fails. you dont want to lose the belt driving the water pump while driving because itll overheat with a quickness. by the way all the retaining bolts on my idler/tensioner pulleys were left hand thread so they have to go clockwise to loosen them.

12/26/2005 7:44:14 PM

CORRECTION the lowermost idler is not reverse threads, its normal and youll need a T-55 TORX socket for it.

Wonder who bought that?

12/29/2005 4:16:23 AM

damn that's a steal

12/29/2005 8:33:48 AM

damn parts store website gave me the WRONG belt and caused me some real headaches but its finally back together and running again, new pulley and all. still have to change the trans fluid/filter, fuel filter, and

thats it. for now.

1/1/2006 1:40:32 AM

1/9/2006 10:38:57 PM

needs red. lots of red.

1/9/2006 10:46:04 PM

LMAO

did that freak even have a red pulley? i cant believe i got one but it was a deal i couldnt pass up.

1/9/2006 10:47:52 PM

that tint job doesn't look legal...or have you found a garage that doesn't check it for inspection?

1/9/2006 11:53:20 PM

(spits milk out my nose)

get a load of this guy

hell naw its not legal, but getting an inspection is easy.

1/9/2006 11:55:53 PM

lol

the tint job does make it look a lot cooler though...

I was thinking about getting my windows done but the shops I checked would only do "legal" tint jobs...what is a good place around here to get a nice dark tint job?
