YAY!! after heartache and hand surgery, its finally back together. With a few setbacks of course.

Pro Tip#141: Dont let your brother do the timing belt while you are putting the box back in, he will put the washer on the back of the timing gear on the crank on backwards and you will see aluminium shavings on initial startup...... :)

Now all i gotta do is find a sunday tuner...........................................................................

Apologies for the announcement. Maybe ill just be a silent reader and not a doer from now on. "Cool story bro" :)

Don't take it to heart mate, he was probably just dying for an opportunity to use that pic. We're a pretty friendly bunch in here :D

On another note, good to hear your car is running (well nearly!), you'll have to post some pics!

    • For anyone interested, this is my old graph from 2021, but I've plotted the previous setup curve onto it with a black pen. old setup was: pon cams, oem itbs and plenum, HPI manifold, hks 2835 pro S .87ar rear, Turbosmart actuator, 3" turbo back no res. or cat., greddy spec M fmic, nismo 740cc inj, walbro in tank 460, splitfires, 4" intake pipe, Apexi pod, e85, eboost2, power Fc. I love that the new setup has much larger turbo spec with the HTA3076 1.01ar Ts rear, and literally everything is bigger, but far higher quality and result is it's FAR more responsive in paper.
    • This makes a lot of sense! I just had that realisation a few minutes ago and wrote it above haha. This is a good new discovery. "Sanding the side of the hill" perfect way to put it.   😂 😂 
    • This is probably what's happened to me. I'll put filler again on my repairs and use the long block and let you know how I go. Fingers crossed it's my last batch of filler lol. I can see that happening where my block dipped at certain points because it didn't cover all the high spots at the same time if that makes sense. I'm just trying to visualise the fact that with the large sanding block I will be sanding far away from the central dent area and whether that will cause issues or whether that's going to fether out my repairs better.
    • Thanks for all that info. I thought I heard that the size of the block should be the same size as the repair or is that wrong? Though I do have some long blocks which I can use for the dents in the middle of the panel. The issue is with the ones at the edge of the door and near the grooves.
