Turbo Repair Kits
The step gap just gives it a better seal. I wasnt quite sure what the 360 thrust does. i know what they look like and the difference but what does it do? does it hold the bearing in better?

What tools are needed?
i bought the halfrauds socket set for 99 quid. its a great set for a sunday mechanic like me :) Just removed my diff and prop with no problems. Ive also got a torque rench tho and a big bar for them big buggers:)

couple of pics of my work today. The old centre bearing doesnt look old at all and there is only the slightest bit of play in the bearing. but seen as the props out i may as well change it :)

Manuals are shit
im sorry i got a bit excited then. I like to drive a car i know would perform well round a track and i just cant see an auto managing that. But on the other hand for a daily driver id love the effortless auto spec, it is so much easier especially in lots of traffic. i still wouldnt buy one tho.

Manuals are shit
Ive never heard of an autobox conversion hmmm i wonder why? manuals are worth more money See how far you get on a track day with an auto. try to drift with an auto. you cant heel and toe You cant practice launches unpredictable on the throttle Its boring and only good in traffic. i hate autos they make the car sound sluggish and gearchanges some boring. If you wanted an auto buy an old merc. sorry but ive just got a thing about autos gggrrrr

Turbo Repair Kits
I was just looking at that kit on ebay it seems like a good deal. Any feedback on your turbo rebuild? Did the parts come ok and are they good quality? And how many of those uprated piston rings do i need for both turbos?
