Who made that for you?

Dropped mirror into Richmond Fibreglass to make a mold off it. Turned out really well so I am quite happy!

Next I gotta harass my mate to borrow his genuine 22b vents to mold off those puppies as well! I got a price from PBMS to buy a set of genuine puppies, 1500 + gst! So no thanks and I will have to be VERY careful with his set if I can get my hands on them! Werent allowed to leave my sight last time I asked about them!

Shelly Bay Sprint yesterday. Only managed 10th place unfortunately. I haven't entered this event for 10 years and it's very technical with an unforgiving bite if you make a mistake. And I had my

I am so keen on a set of 22B vents. PM me if you get a mold and make some up plaese.

Today I decided to take of my bottom spoiler and see what damage I had done with snapping a bolt off.

Top right was already missing, the bottom left was what I broke. Awesome thing is that I hadn\'t broken anything off the spoiler itself and that the bolts have a hat thing that sits in a groove.

So I stole two bolts off my old spoiler and she\'s good as new! I am so happy I decide to keep old parts.

Went to do a compression test on my car for a potential buyer, first spark plug hole the damn thing got stuck and it took two hours to get it out without damaging the car!

So then of course because I was doing this in the driveway, I had to put the whole thing back together in the dark by feel. But took it for a test drive and all is well so thankful for that :)

At least I now know that I can literally change sparkplugs with my eyes closed!

Protip: if you\'re buying a compression tester that does both sized spark plugs, loctite the s*** out of it before using.

What got stuck on it? It just needs to maintain a seal so doesnt need to be hell tight.

Is two parts, the main device unthreaded itself from the spark plug size adaptor with the adaptor still in the spark plug hole instead of the whole thing coming out

The two parts are now 3500psi epoxied together so this will not happen again!

My rear diff has been whining for a few years. Got a near-new diff from a generous Stoffa for a great price, and Webster installed it on his hoist, with me assisting.

There were sparkly bits in the oil, and the diff was very noisy on overrun. All vanished now :)

So much easier on a hoist (plus air tools)...

My mechanic mate did mine in 20 minutes and that included pressing the pinion flange off the 2 diffs and swapping them over (V9 or so has a different PCD on the flange, go figure)

He then declared that 20 minutes was now the benchmark for his workshop, and anyone taking longer than that would have some explaining to do :D

we used air tools only when stuff was too tight otherwise it was 3/8 socket set. Took 2 hrs due to neither of us done this before

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
