Sup w/them 2026 Spring Projects?
I have the cam caps from "that guy" that moved my cam sensor inboard due to the tubular manifold but they also have a degree adjustment slot in them - is that achieving the same thing? Not to mention looking better, o rings, no more RTV, etc. I think Austin has beta units already. If not whats the advantage of keeping the OEM cap and doing it on the gear instead?
Yeah, the Mivec gear is just to recenter the mivec range after changing deck height or oil pump gear. Timing doesnt change, just the range. So for a 4g64 block, I would offset 1/2 tooth or two holes from oem. After putting in ER oil pump gear I would go back to the first hole. That would get back close enough to the OEM range, which just lets it get slightly negative.
Eventually I'll scan the mivec gear guts and program a tool path for increasing that range. Im not fond of trying to do that by hand.

The only things id consider doing now would be to look into relocating the switch etc on a nice bracket mounted to the firewall or something like that for some extra tidyness and security, And a kick plate that goes over the battery to tidy the look up so it looks factory and stops any passenger in the back accidentally kicking it or anything silly.

Happy New Year.

I'll have a batch for sale soon.
I debated adding a degree adjustment like that one has but decided against it as I just don't see a good reason for it as it'd increase cost and makes things more annoying for customers to set it all up right. The only situation I can think where it'd be helpful is if you had a cylinder head that was shaved well past its service limit and an adjustable cam gear couldn't correct for it. But running heads shaved that far have far larger problems lol

something at or around my armrest seems to be making a quite a loud rattle at certain frequencies/speeds.
i doubt it's this but I am missing one of the two little yellow clips that help it lock into position in the front. anyone know what that part # is?
i also just ordered front uprights with the 1.25" correction, maybe more upgrades to come for 2022.

Do you have the screws in the bottom of the console fixed to the support bracket? Without them it is quite loose on mine.
i do, yea. honestly i can't really see anything that would cause rattling in that area, will keep investigating.
yea no doubt i get the random rattles and creaks, this one is a bad one though loud, and something vibrating or rubbing kinda harshly. will drive without the armrest in and see.
still can't find the clips, it looks something like this
it might actually be the one, so i'll give it a crack. same clips that hold in the headunit/dash stuff.
