Spent all day on the car today
 
and I'm knackered!!

Full service - oil / filter, plugs, fuel filter, gearbox oil, clean K+N filter

Then redid lots of fuel lines whilst installing swirl pot and Bosch 044 pump in engine bay, plus new loom / relay for pump.

Modded and fitted some morrette lights so I can have cold air feed on track / sprints direct to filter with removable rain guard.

New FMIC pipework in prep for MAFless ECU

Everything went well, I was a bit aprehensive about fuel leaks upon start up, but all was good, phew!!

Just got to bleed brakes tomorrow and I'm ready for a date with JGM ;)

No issues with the oil change, Tone ;) only just, mind :D

Andy, I've had the pleasure of swapping over a rear diff on a gravel drive, my knees have never seen pain like it - and they've had a couple of ops, lol

My back is killing me after being in the engine bay all day

Big E, thanks, I have fingers crossed!!

OK, just for you Chris I went out in the rain

How it looks now, not sure I like the look, prefer OE but function overrules form

Lost inner lens and replaced with removable blank - direct feed to air filter. Did the same to other side for to balance the look
