Default 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

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



Swirlpot next to catch can, on bulkhead so safe as it can be



Overall shot, you can just see the 044 by fuel filter, temporary FMIC pipework to get it to Simon
