i think the incomplete filter you've got coming, paired with the below *velocity stack would result in much WIN :devil:
dboi

Dave, I was actually looking into the Blox velocity stacks but they are 6" wide with 3" throat where as this filter falls slightly short of 6" so don't think it would fit, going by Sam's pictures earlier in the thread 
Yer, no way i'm paying for this then lol

Removed the 1 piece shaft for an LSD drivers shaft that bolts to the block
In order to fit this I had to remove a few things
and this heavy fucker
With the starter removed I took the opportunity to strip it down and clean it out, every one should do this with a clutch change
no pictures of it back together but it looks brand new inside now, cleaned it all out with petrol and packed it full of grease.

Wednesday
began sorting out the exhaust
Take one hanger bracket ground back
licked with some paint
Then hammerited
this is how Im helped
a cat
with the engine on the dolly I pulled the gearbox off and put my JWT flywheel and GSpec clutch on
I had also changed the PS pump and fitted a new sandwich plate to allow me to run an oil cooler, I modified the plate to take my gauges aswell.
In the bay I rubbed down a few areas and changed the Steering rack bushes for poly ones.
after umming and ahhing over removing the ABS I fucked that off for next year and we got the engine back in
this time on all 4 poly mounts
Thursday
Just tidying up loose ends, had a package from Dale resulting in

Refitted the manifold with a new decat from shagwah, got the cooler mounted in place

Friday
Few things that have annoyed me I took the time to fix
the little pockets under the scuttle panel that water happily sits in, Ive drilled two drain holes either side, these were sprayed over with stonechip to prevent rust.
I cranked the car over a few times with the HT leads and plugs pulled till the oil pressure light went out to prime the cooler and it fired up first time
The cooler has given me almost 3/4 litre extra capacity of oil which is a huge bonus
This was brand new
almost complete, green wheels are off now for the winter.
and back down with the bumper all fitted up nice and snug
cheeky cooler
I took it out and Im happy to report it feels very quick, I did have a moment of no lobes.... the cause was the RSM not being powered on, checked back through the wiring and the earth cable had been pulled from the loom, most likely from being pulled through the firewall.
All in all a hell of a week sweating my tits off but it feels good now Ive done it, mods added weight saved things future proofed and lots of improvements

Well done man. Just think of the labour charges you've dodged there, £500 worth?
