Hoses

[kantar77]

Is there a kit for replacing all the hoses in my car or do i have to piece it together my self?

If you want some crazy color hoses, you can find some kits out there. Now, they won't necessarily have ALL of the correct size hoses.

I'd suggest finding out what sizes you need (I think there's only 3 sizes) and then go down to your local auto parts store and get whatever you think you need and then some. I prefer the look of black vacuum hose, but it's up to you.

Which hoses are you talking about?

RRE sells a "Larson hose Kit" with silicone tubes to replace all of the old vacuum lines. For no extra cost you can get a little under hood bling.

The radiator and heater hoses are probably old and cracking, but easy to get to.

Replacing the rubber brake lines at each wheel with stainless lines will give a better brake feel and a warm fuzzy feeling when thinking about how much pressure the old hoses can hold.

While you are replacing the timing belts it would be a good time to replace the crank pulley. They are notorious for failing. Just count the threads on this site about squealing belts.

That's what I have for my car. Look in my gallery.

tuna are you talking about replacing the actual crank pulley or the the actual belt?
i think i've heard of the actual pulleys going bad but is that on usually 7 bolt motors?
i know this is kinda off topic but thanks.

Belts and pulley.

It's not limited to seven bolts. Please see http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/pro...y-harmonic-dampener-just-time-pics-video.html.
