It took me longer to remember and find my sharpie than it did to color the plate. hahaha
I managed to pull out the ding mostly but in the process I left a little (very unnoticeable) crease in the fender where the top half refused to move. Today I remove the whole bumper cover, headlights and hopefully the fender so I can straighten things out... jusyt a couple of bent clips and mounting points - should't be too bad.

I exanged the PS belt for the right one and installed it. I still have a little squeak from my alternator/water pump belt. Looks like I will be replacing that as well, that one looks like its going to be a pain to replace. I might wait till I get a UDP to do that one.
Pulled the front bumper and right inner-fender liner to fix the small dent in the fender I had. It turned out better than I had hoped but there is still a small imperfection I can see. I also re-adjusted my oil return line as it was leaking (again!), tightened up some belts (again!) and torqued down the linkage connection to my short shifter (there was too much play in it). All in all a successful day although the leaking return line is a little disconcerning - I guess I'm going to have to teflon wrap the nipple on the oil pan to stop the leaking... next oil change, should have done this a long time ago...
On another note I'm getting a small oil leak out from underneath the oil cap. I know its torqued down enough, is it possible the little gasket inside the cap has gone bad? Do these come with an oil cap or is it something I can get seperately?

I got dynoed yesterday.
No files yet but
1st pull 70 hp (no lie)
2nd pull 90 hp / AND 169 tq (woot for mods)
Its an Auto so...
I wanted a "baseline" or before dyno to compare to after I get my cams in with my UDP and 626 mani along with some tuning via the MPI.
$50 for 2 pulls
Next time I'll try and take advantage of having a few fuel and timing maps ready to try out while their WBO2 is logging.

Well everything fixed yesterday only to find out I lost all illumination in all my gauges. They still work (eg give readings) but they just don't light up when I turn the lights on. Very random considering they were working the night before and the only thing I've done since is remove the front bumper cover. I checked all the bulbs and they all look fine so I don't know what happened...
EDIT: Aside from any loose electrical connections is there anything else this could be?

did you turn up the dimmer switch?
HAHAHA the mods add more torque?!
Ok, here's the deal. Manual tranny w/ MP3 ECU, SRI w/ K&N Cone, Ractive header and 03 MSP exhaust:
If it was like 120 lb/ft I probably wouldn't think anything, but 170? You're joking yourself. If those are the numbers you got, you need to find another dyno shop.
