I take it you're fully jabbed up?
yeah I wouldnt have gone if i hadn't been vaccinated. my asthma and any strain of covid would more than likley render me useless for much longer than a week otherwise.
just annoys me how blatant this moron was on the plane and how there was nothing I could do about it .
least of my worries at the moment anyway, i seem to be recovering ok and time will tell if I get long covid i suppose. the back however is in a bad shape. It is improving but very slowly considering i did it a week ago yesterday and im still not 100%
couldnt go see a doctor either due too aforementioned Rona so its been 2+ weeks of nothing for me on the car front

In all seriousness, get it looked at and be prepared to cancel your trip in Feb.
Depending on what you've done the best thing may be serious rest otherwise you're going to be left with permanent back pain. Wife hurt hers, ended up taking months before she was properly better. Had to cancel her place on a trackday which was IIRC 2 weeks afterwards on advice that she *might* be ok but likely to make it worse and then take longer to heal.
Of course it could just be minor in which case you'll be fine but it's better to be safe than sorry when its your back!
I agree.
but I've been a little stuck with the Covid, and I might or might not have snowboarded on the Saturday after hurting it on the Friday...
as above - confirmed Plonker
it is healing slowly and its not my spine so I'm less concerned as I would normally be. But I'm still aware that it could be serious

On that subject, why only fitting those actuators now and not say, a year ago?
laziness...9:28. Masking tape. Lots and lots of masking tape

lol!
the real reason is the actuator is part of the bracket, and I dint want to be cutting and welding the bracket and potentially ruining the diaphragm inside the actuator. so I've been putting it off for that reason mainly. However, because I bought a new turbo I had a spare actuator lying around so I could test it. and there was no harm done so I carried on making them.
the other reason is I've been putting it off as the drivers side on is just annoying the way it was so close to fitting but the chassis rail gets in the way and the passenger side, whilst the bracket itself is a bit of a mess now that its done, the location and the fitment is a work of art even if I do say so myself. I've managed to leave room for the AC pump lines, a dipstick tube, the turbo oil feed line, the inlet pipe to the turbo, found a gap between the turbo and the rocker cover to fit a modified actuator arm onto the wastegate lever where the gap in reality doesn't exist
Its the main reason why I didn't film the creation of the passenger side one, it went through about 8758 configurations before it would work
Just another job ticked off the list lol
Help please? 
Help me find something
Hi, I need some assistance from an engineering hive mind. I need a ball joint/rod end that has a boot over the ball, and a hex on the ball to be able to turn the threaded end into a fixture. the thread needs to be m12x1.75 and the female thread that goes on the rod needs to be m14x1.5...
