Well if the weather permits i plan on committing this saturday all to my new car, a 97z28.

Here is what i plan to do:
1. replace bank 1 sensor 2 o2 sensor
2. replace left front blinker light
3. install moroso CAI
4. Flush coolant system
5. Put in a hypertech 160 thermostat
6. TB bypass

I'm a newbie when it comes to working on cars period. Do you think i can handle all this in one day? Another question i have is...how do i disable the auto theft lock on my delco cd player? (car has no manual) If this tells you anything, I dont even really know how to put a car up on jackstands (gonna have to see if my cousin has some i can borrow) Please help my out with my questions and if you have any suggestions for me i would love to hear them.

You will have no problem changing it out in a day. Make sure you bleed your system properly after you install the thermostat. Are you having any programming done to have the fans come on sooner??

id say in about 3 hours, the hardest thing will be the flushing. tb bypass took me 5 min, and my cai was a pain, took me like 35 min. the bulb change is easy if you have a drop light and a jack. while you have the cai off, just install the stat. do you have replacement hoses? after 75000 miles, id suggest getting new ones, may as well. anywho, good luck
