Member DrDomer has been working hard on his "One liter can of Whoopass" for something special..



You can see his page in the project section HERE, but lets get to the exciting stuff.......





Nothing like fresh LemonAid!

I bought this metro a little over a month ago.



So far I have done the following:

Changed oil filter and oil to Synthetic 5w-30
Replaced air filter
Replaced fan belts
Replaced spark plugs and wires
Had AC repaired
Cleaned EGR valve and passages

Shortly, about a week, after cleaning the EGR valve and passages I started noticing a clicking noise on acceleration, which sounded a little bit like a hand crack which would increase in speed as the rpm's increased, but would not be present when running at a constant speed, or when revving the engine in place, only when the engine was under load. The noise seemed to get louder and then I had a loss of power at the low end and then I did the following.

Replaced fuel filter
Replaced PCV Valve
Replaced catalytic converter
Seafoamed throttle body
Replaced distributor cap and rotor
Replaced distributor o-ring
Adjusted Ignition timing

After getting the new cat properly installed, the noise decreased and it seemed a little bit of power came back. I adjusted the ignition timing with my father from the factory 5 degrees to the board recommended 8 degrees. It feels like I have gained the low end power back, but when the engine is under load I still notice that clicking noise a little bit. It is not as loud as before though. When my father and I were adjusting the timing, I head a hissing noise coming from around the fan and alternator belts. I wasn't sure if it was the belts or if it was a leak so I'm going to replace the vacuum lines. I have new hose so I just need to do it.

I still have the following to do:

Install 3-tech economy cam and 8-degree advance timing sprocket
Replace timing belt
Replace water pump
Replace all vacuum lines
Find out where the heck that clicking is coming from.

This place is still rockin

Here are a few teaser shots of the 30 cars that showed up for the event...........
