I dont know if you guys get it up there but we have lots of people who set their garages up as work from home hair dresses and phone repair places etc with glass sliding doors instead of the traditional garage door setup
I live in California. That sounds too convenient and like you could avoid a ton of permits and taxes, .... So it's probably illegal here.

I was just inputting what information I knew (deck height, rod length, stroke) and it spit out the 32 for compression height. I also did not input anything into piston to deck because I did not what value to use.
Funny enough, the guy from Wiseco just emailed me back saying with everything I gave him, it looks like the piston will be sticking out the block by .001". I told him that I just need a regular 1400HD piston for a 64block with Evo 9 head combo, but with the wrist pin moved to compensate for the block/stroke/rod combo at hand here.

Also, I pulled that stock 9 headgasket thickness directly from STM's website - is this not correct?
Looks like a made a typo on that speadsheet and typed 1.1mm not 1.2.

Its actually the neutral pull cable for the gearbox so i can select neutral and reverse haha. the lever needs to come back out the paddleshift is all set up again. Normally you have a trigger grip on the sequential lever which u pull to select neutral and reverse. Its awkward using it with the paddleshift so i moved it over to a T handle down there so i can use my right hand to pull the lever and my left to pull the left paddle and downshift. Dont need to pull the handle when going the other way

Yea this would be ideal but then id need a pneumatic actuator to physically lift the stopper on the gearbox. Because the barrel in the box is designed to be used with a lever i have to physically pull the plunger out of the way on the box still to get to neutral/ reverse. only way to remove this would be to have a new barrel made.

It used to be but 1, i wanted to remove the lever assembly. and 2, i need my left hand to operate the paddle so i was having to use my right hand backwards to reach the left paddle and pull the lever

I forget your car is RHD... I have seen people use gearlever for neutral/reverse/first and then go with the paddles on the go, but what you did is a neat solution..
