sorry to hear Min

Amanda has he taken the top off the brake fluid reservoir that will help release pressure

i'm not sure, i'll have to ask him when he wakes up

You have to squeeze the caliper pistons back into the caliper either using a proper tool, a G clamp or two screw drivers....

MIN, a baffle plate between the cat flanges will do the trick.

he tried the G clamp, it ended up getting bent (was pretty old though) so i had to buy him a new 1

but yeah my brother is gonna help him 2moro morning so hopefully they get it

On a sad note, i wont be attending Kellie's cruise :D Dont really feel like driving the car with a defect sticker on it.... i might tag along in someones car

:)

Dont be soft, if your allowed to drive it, drive it

true how long did they give your 24hrs or 48 hrs

Mark are you blowing off the cruise for that gig or you were only kidding

Dont be soft, if your allowed to drive it, drive it

EDIT

that was quick craig did you find anything out about that clutch you were telling me about

^ yeah, extreme heavy duty 5 puck cushion ceramic $320....

im going to hold off on it though, it seems to be going ok (as long as i dont drop it)

i need to focus on window tint/lowering/polish first for A.S.

Rim Question - if you had the choice between 18x8" +38 Model 5 copies, 18x8" +36 5 Spoke Rims, or 17x8" +42 buddy Club P1's in titanium silver - what would you choose? Each are within reach of my price range so really not sure...... I'd like 18's but the P1s are just so appealing...

What I think the P1s would look like:

What the 18" 5 spokes look like

Or AVS Model 5 copies (these are 17's, I would be looking at 18's)

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
