[QUOTE="KLeech, post: 13050472, member: 132442"] So the cars home now, and it's time to get to work, here's a few shots of how it sat before I began doing what I'm doing. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/musu5y2a.jpg[/IMG] This is what an engine bay with 90k miles looks like dirty, and 12 years old. I may have already had to put my carbon fiber JLT on since I couldn't find my stock tube for anything lol [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/dugyparu.jpg[/IMG] The cars mint charcoal leather seats are long gone, trunks bare (don't worry it won't be for long) and I plan on laying sound deadening down under the carpet, in the trunk, and under the back seats. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/nu5enede.jpg[/IMG] Yes that's a spare Corbeau seat, I bought it for a crazy stupid cheap price, don't worry it isn't staying in there. And my sweet 1 ball shift ball a buddy of mine made for me. However that probably won't stay either since I have a 5 speed f*cking fast knob and 10th anniversary shift boot to go on. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/3e3ydetu.jpg[/IMG] First night of work, drained all the coolant (I hate coolant) and started taking stuff off to start hardcore cleaning and making things look nice. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/4ynarady.jpg[/IMG] As you can see this thing is DIRTY. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/8atezedu.jpg[/IMG] Pulled the radiator, and as some of you may notice the condenser is gone. If you haven't guessed already it's because the A/C is getting deleted. I never use it, and I'm not going to ever sell this car so I could care less about resell value. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/une6evu4.jpg[/IMG] Buh-bye A/C compressor, take note of those 2 extra idlers as they'll be getting deleted as well. Turns out everyone that has a one bolt tensioner has a much cleaner way to delete their ac and route their belt than with a stupid delete pulley. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/ejatyvap.jpg[/IMG] This was just me test fitting the belt I bought, once you swap the tensioner pulley for a ribbed one you route the belt through it like so and viola everything down by the old ac compressor area gets bypassed! [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/anu3eqe5.jpg[/IMG] Got the evaporater taken out and all the lines removed as well. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/8yvudaha.jpg[/IMG] Here it is with almost everything off that was coming off before I started to clean. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/habuvu4e.jpg[/IMG] But before we start cleaning it was time to paint the Tork tech pulley bridge (which got the words Tork tech shaved off) alternator, and thermostat housing!
