What did you do today to your 3/S?

Shortblock is mostly back together, needing to be actually torqued to spec (right now i just have it in there and bolted together at about 10ftlb so that I can turn it over as necessary) but I got the parts off of my shelf as I'm running out of room in my parts room. Going to throw the heads and put the timing components on to degree the cams properly if it stays cold through the weekend. Unfortunately, it's cold enough that I can't do the engine block coating outside, and I don't particularly want a ton of fumes in the house, so I'm at an impasse. Can't grind under the car either unfortunately as the full body suit that I'm waiting on allegedly won't be here until around the 11th-13th despite 2 day shipping from Amazon. No me gusta.

For now, just reading over the effects of windage trays (there was a thread on here about it even but I didn't want to necro it) and debating if it's worth it when I build the 4 bolt.

yeah I need to do the same my hair is rubbing the ceiling and if I tilt my head to the left my head touches...

Messed around with my Chrome and Arc2 w/ 92mm MAF combination today. I decided to set the battery latencies for my pte 550cc injectors but leave the injector size stock in chrome. Modified the MAF size by a factor of 1.53 to around ~440 to compensate for the injectors and removed some trim from the coolant warm up tables. Dialed the Arc2 in for low and mid trims as close to ~0 as possible. Set the Trim range a little lower Hz wise for the Low/Mid fuel trim transition, so the mid doesn't mess with idle, just cruise. Finally started some WOT pulls here and there. Dialed back the fuel on the High knob on the Arc2 from full positive to a safe ~11.5 or so. No knock and proper load values with the piggyback. So happy, I'll probably take it out and go for another drive today and do some more logging. :)

Mounted my winter/ festive rims and tires. Blizzaks FTW. Bring on the SNOW!

How well do you like the stuff? How do you think it will hold up? I'm looking for a powdercoat alternative but I don't want to use any kind of paint.

First time using it so extensively. Goes down pretty easy with a foam brush, but it's definitely not a flawless finish. Unfortunately with the colder temps and the fact that my car is taking up almost all of my garage, spraying it is out of the question (although should give much much better results.) Don't know I'd even want to try spraying this undercoating, maybe the AG111 top coat that goes over it. Definitely very thick though, already put one coat on the engine block (did the second coat tonight) and now I've put two coats on the visible portions of those suspensions components. Tomorrow I'll flip them over and do the undersides. Gone through about 1/3-1/2 a quart doing these two coats on the block, cross member and the control arms.

Compared to a paint, this is easy to touch up later, however as far as strength and resistance to chipping mine hasn't cured enough to know. Seems very much like a urethane acrylic almost, which if it were would be pretty resistant to chipping, just takes like a month to actually cure. Smell in the house is pretty potent though. Have the window open in the room I'm using, with a fan blowing it out the window. Had I been able to start early enough, I would've had the heater in the garage going and done it out there.
