What did you do today to your 3/S?

Hell of a start Nick!

Backed it off the trailer today after journey to Ray's. Launched it HARD for the first time in a LONG time. Perfect street launch with all 4 just barely breaking traction...still got it...or just need more power to overwhelm tires

Got to this point today. It appears my crank resistance is a rod bearing issue although none of them spun. Also there are no chunks in the oil and no visible damge to any piston looking from the bottom. So far I just have 1 bad piston and 1 bad valve and rod bearing resistance:

Careful with that crank bolt. I would put on the pulleys with that bolt.

What's the crankwalk endplay spec on it?

Not today but almost a month ago I ended up blowing up my front turbo at 28 psi. I'm not exactly sure what happened but the shaft sheared and at some point whether before or after the compressor nut came off. The chunks got the rear also. No wonder I had a huge loss of power.

At least the motor survived. I expected it to blow first. I guess I get that for pushing things hard.

I can go to the trunk and unplug the battery and remove it very quickly. It also has a bridge lock so if your racign you can lock it down and tie it to an inline breaker.

Jeremy.

would you please go into complete detail about you have breakers and what not to make your remote batteries "race compliant"? I have rear batteries and I would like to make a way that I could have a taillight have a switch, but for regular use, use a regular tail light with a jumper bypassing the switch under the tail light...

If that makes sense.

Also I now have everything ordered to flash tune but a WBO2 sensor.

swapped my seats out, cleaning up the gray car's interior, looks nice

Can't put the pulley on without the crank sprocket. The bolt just bottoms out in the crank which I don't think is an issue as there is no torque on it.

Not sure yet where / how to measure this. I still need to pick up a feeler gauge.
