Took her to the shop. ![Mad](https://www.myg37.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
Getting a hot smell of sorts after driving a little bit. Not burning oil smell or anything, just noticably hot. Even the wife has noticed it a few times. Don't notice around the grill or edge of hood, more around the front doors. Gonna change drive belt and clean throttle bodies while at it. Now I wait...

Dropped the car off to have the steering rack replaced.
For those of you that have replaced your serpentine belt.....what brand did you go with? I'm getting a screeching noise at startup, and at 53K, figure it's time to replace the belt.
Dealer wanted $78 for the belt and 1 hour labor

Lego, pretty sure your dealership is asking 2X the cost of the belt, and a full hour for a 15 minute job.

I told the service writer I'd be go $100 installed and he told me they don't negotiate prices

I'm planning to do the swaybar bushings and end links this weekend, so I'll have the bottom cover off and the car up, which should give better access. Might as well try the belt too

^^he mentions it's easier to route the belt around the bottom pulleys from the bottom.
I'm going to try using just a standard 3/8" rachet and

Washed her up inside and out. Salt everywhere lol...Drove down to my local beach to take some glamor shots with the new Tanabe/Vibrant combo looking shiny.
