First time logging into for years and years

Hey guys. It has been years and years since I logged into the site and much has happened in my personal life. Wondering if any of the old school guys are on here anymore.

Anyways, I will be digging into why my timing belt let go 2 years ago while I just pulled out of the garage and the car was idling. I have always been meticulous on timing belt maintenance (Yes I own a P9201) so I will be shocked. I did do a full roller replacement about a year prior, so I wonder if an idle roller let loose or something (all was torqued to spec).

It's been a long time and am hoping to get my old girl going again so I can terrorize the neighborhood.

Speedy

Hey Speed!

I just got back on after a few years' absence as well. Knocking the cobwebs off and getting back to it myself after having a couple kids (well, the missus did that bit)
