Dun, dun, DUUNNNNN!

update time!

Will do this over a couple of posts, as I'm I producing a second car to the thread(no point having 2 threads).
So, will start each post with car colour ( WHITE / GOLD ) to let you know which is getting what.

Here we go......

GOLD

Where I'm up to.....
Changed run in oil, started car and had a slight knock on inlet cam.
Pulled engine, etc.....

Finally pulled off all the accessories and such.

Was going to post pics, but apparently "this forum has disabled media sharing".

Found the inlet cam gear had kicked both ways. Don't know if it's cause or effect though.

Have finally dropped the engine to a machine shop. Hopefully I will know in a couple of weeks what has really happened.

WHITE

got pics of dry sump for titan, but can not post.

Now, pulled front turbo off this afternoon.
Swapped dump pipe to hpi bellmouth.
Ran out of time to do the second.
Will get it done tomorrow.
(Also have pics of all of this)

WHITE

Started installing the 4 stage pump today.
Oh how fun it is, when your instructions are nothing more than 5 pictures(and not very good ones at that).
For the price of the kit, I am VERY disappointed.

Will try and attach pics as attachments rather than "pics".20171120_154438.jpg20171120_154527.jpg20171120_154530.jpg

This pulley guides the alt belt around the pump mount bolts.
Unfortunately they didn't design it well, and it could the bracket.
Solution?
Take the washer meant for the rear but and install it a little early.20171120_162610.jpg20171120_162624.jpg20171120_163040.jpg20171120_163043.jpg

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
