Started learning to weld, here’s my first tries last weekend and through today, about ready to weld on the car. Going to practice on some thinner stuff first to get more practice.

It was a good idea not to wait on rebuilding the 3.54 diff. The new LSD arrived weeks after I expected it and there's no shot I would have been able to swap it into the spare R200 before my trip. I'm excited to get this together in the winter though!

lol you are correct sir.... I checked the wheel bearing and there were alittle loose on the driver side [normalish] but the pass side didnt feel right [probly needs new bearing} but I got it tightened up and took it for a drive..... night and day diffence. Ive been working on everything else it didnt even occur to me to check. so thank you.

Sounds like front wheel bearings. Your tires will wear out faster also.

Wanted to give an update. she is fixed. It was the bosch 124 ignition module. The ground had corrosion under the connecter at the chassis ground and replaced the module. Also it now has a keyway in the ati underdrive pully and Im getting ready to install kameari twin idler and their perfromance oil pump.... I already installed the adjustable cam gear. she pulls really hard as its climing past 6k. I havent had the guts to keep my foot in it much past 6k but there really isnt any need to rev much higher anyway. mods list sense last post cylinder head.... I did more port matching and cc matched the combustion cambers had the head decked alittle more.... and I unshrouded the valves and polished the combution chambers.... also port matched the intake to the head/intake gasket hx35 now has a billet compressor wheel 2010 sti diff installed only problems Im having at the moment is when driving the car it wants to follow the grooves in the road but on flat road it drives perfect and the alternater doesnt charge under 2k rpm because of the ati underdrive pulley alignment settings are 2.5 camber 6 caster 1/8 toe in ride height 6in 17in rims 245 40 17 kumo v730 next im probly going to replace a the u joints but shes boosting and driving great.
