I have recently posted receipts for the engine and turbo work. Cam Worth made some adjustments to the PFC when it was at his shop (Pettit) for the engine work and then the turbo swap. The car has not been dyno'd while I've owned it. \r\n\r\nThe transmission shifted fine the last time I drove it, I never ran in to any issues. Cam would perform this \"massaging\" of the synchros when it was at his shop. It was an interesting procedure using the shifter and pressing it against the gates. He said the transmission felt fine when he would test drive it. \r\n\r\nI have not performed a compression test on the rebuilt engine. I know what I say can only be taken as a grain of salt, but I did baby this engine (and car). I always ran Protek-R, followed the recommendation of Cam about letting the car warm up slowly, letting the car cool down before shutting it off (opening the hood), bumping the ignition to put cooler oil in to the turbos when shutting it off, etc. It's never been raced or driven harshly. Spirted driving from time to time, but I'm no speed demon. \r\n\r\nI've done some work to the gauge cluster in general. I picked up a few salvage clusters and swapped parts to make all the gauges work that are in the car. I posted a receipt from Atkins Rotary for a brand new Speedometer which is currently installed in the car. I have a hard time throwing away broken parts, so that's why I'm including everything I pulled out.
