My car, Devil, is approaching it’s 60,000 mile service quickly so I have to minimize my driving until I get everything done…Â This also hurts me from going to the gym on the other side of town. I would rather not chance my engine going at a bad time due a strained belt or anything of that sort. I will probably do a home regimen of sit-up, push-ups, and other things to keep me in good shape. Expect some logs of me doing those and tracking my progress until I can get Devil in proper shape.
What all is Devil going to need at 60,000 miles? Let’s see…
- New AC condenser belt
- New timing belt
- New cam seals
- New crank seal
- New valve cover seal
- New timing tensioner spring
- New alternator/fan belt
- New fuel filter
- New air filter
- New spark plugs
- New spark plug wires
- New hoses
- Radiator flush and reload with Redline Oil’s Water Wetter for the coming summer season
- New water pump
- Oil change with Mobil 1 Synthetic 10W-30
- Gear oil change to Mobil 1 Synthetic for even smoother gear changes
From there… that should keep me in good shape until I need a new clutch. I assume I will probably need one before I head out to Texas A&M Commerce… I will probably stick with a stock one, until I do some serious power modifications that warrant a heavier clutch. If Project Fireseal becomes a reality, I expect to hold off on power mods for a long while and focus on safety modifications for both Devil and Fireseal slowly. Devil is due for some new “shoes” and I have my eyes set on a nice set of flat black wheels with a wider contact patch for tires (15″ x 6″) which I hope to get before the move to Commerce.
I need my catalytic converter replace, oil change, transmission flush and who knows what else. Blah… Gonna get the catalytic convert this check cuz it's $82 and I should have enough. No idea when it'll be changed though. lol
