i am still able to get it on with a little force, but i dont like that idea, im a little fussy hehe, i guess i will just diegrind out the holes bigger.

or is there a place i can get them filled up and retapped again? or is that going to cost too much??

Are you talking about welding the holes in the head up and redrilling/tapping? There's a lot of effort involved there so I would imagine it won't be cheap..

I had two studs that I helicoiled in that were just out of alignment and while I could use a hammer to tap it on, that's not the sort of force I wanted to be applying to the head in that way.

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?

      S15 Spec R

      It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
