I live in Plainfield and work in Pomfret... both 1hr from Newington... lol I'm over in the quite corner.

HAHA, I'm in the NE corner of CT during the day and Central East side when at home... I even drive to a bunch of VMRS racing events in NH and never get spotted. I was just up at Monadnock last Saturday.

I'm pretty easy to spot, but never have been spotted... http://cupcakesandkiwis.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/tumblr_llj2av7ijm1qzdb5a.jpeg But for anyone in my area looking... OMG AWD is my plate and Gimmick exhaust... other than that it looks stock, only lowered 1"...

What does an H6 sound like with this done?

I was but with the car in my avitar

Typically more than it should.... LOL

You are doing it because the gears on the drivers side are in the middle of opening a valve so there is spring preload and due to the shape of a cam lobe the gear will just want to spin if its only partially open... clamping the to together positions the gears where they need to be so you can line up the rest of the marks and slide the belt on. The passenger side is not in the process of opening any valves so thats why that side will just stay where you set them.

quite possibly nothing but I've had a few issues with dayco belts, so if that runs into the timing belts they make I don't want anything to do with it. RockAuto has the kits for ~280 for Gates and ~330 for the Gates Racing kit.

I personally wouldn't cheap out on something this vital... Send FredBeans a PM, they have a Gates kit listed at $345 maybe they can work on that price a bit more.

Join the club...

The LGT's stock brakes are way too close to the inside of my 17" rims, I just can't see 16's fitting around those.

The Air pump itself has an inlet where it pulls in fresh outside air to pump into the exhaust ports on the head. Our systems are used only to bring the exhaust gas temps higher right at start up to activate the cat quicker and lessen the time that it's not working efficiently. I had to delete these ports on one of the 3400's I built for my Beretta since they had them on some Malibu's back in 2000 http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/3400modified/Beretta/installed1.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/3400modified/Beretta/smoothport.jpg Notice it was only on two ports too... Very odd. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/3400modified/Beretta/DSCN0579.jpg

Blue LGT on the 395 North this AM... Got off at RT 101 exit 93... Looked completly stock, You turned into the Jewett City Savings Bank.

I don't even think they would be allowed to test it during a startup procedure, that's just completely unfair since the cat itsn't even fired off yet.

I looked at them to quick, I thought they were at least two layers.

I missed that post... But yeah if you have an 07 motor why would you be looking for an 05 setup for plates? You need to reference parts for whatever your engine came from. Its the same with my Beretta... Thats and 05 engine in a 96 car... with a 96 trans and 04 heads, and 00 brakes and yeah you get my point... only the shell is a 96. Also why not just re-use the gaskets that come off the pipes? Being they are MLS type gaskets you will probably be able to re-use them with no issues.

That might be because an 05 has the up pipe cat and not the air pump system... its an 07+ substitute for that up pipe cat. Hence the title of this thread "2007-2009"

I'll probably do this when I go to replace my intake gasket set. Had some starting issues in the winter and everyone points to the intake gaskets as being the culprit... It also probably wouldn't hurt to give my top end and TVG's a good cleaning.

I'm waiting to do mine when I do my headers and up pipe... I think getting to the right side tube and solenoid will be MUCH easier with the turbo out. I think either that way, or removing the whole intake plenum is the way to go, and I don't need to pull that quite yet... I probably should to do the gaskets though since they gave me issues when it was cold out.

LGT Wagon with redish wheels in Plainfield this AM, you were getting off rt 14 and turning on to 12 south. I was at the Mobil gas station with my OBP LGT, Gave you a wave and you waved back.

Most of it is all plastic, but in the first post he said he took out about 10lbs of crap taking up engine bay space.

http://www.kstech.biz/servlet/the-10/air-pump-delete-block/Detail Way cheaper... I also bought the gaskets on this site as well. Still haven't had the chance to do it yet.

I've never had to open my wallet to pass an emissions test and I'd like to keep it that way.

Its very easy to just drop the pump back in with that one side vent still there... And obviously the solenoid will be gone... but I doubt they would look that far. I'm curious how well it will pass emissions though with romraider disabling codes. I know I have to do it a certain way on my GM for the tests to still pass even though the components are missing.

Saw a blue 08-09 2.5i on rt6 today right after the truck weigh spot. Gave ya a little pull as you came up on me and yes my car is filthy... It's been on jackstands for 2 1/2 weeks. Finally got stage 2.
