look what my dad put together today..
I didn't think we were going to be able to fit it, but he's done it today.
He wont tell me how much the pipes cost (took him 3 sets because of angle and position changes) but I'm pretty chuffed.
Engine bay is starting to look really mint

haha, space in front of the engine wasnt the problem suprisingly!
Mount points have been tricky as there is very little room for the cooling system and steering column on the drivers side.
The main problem though was the oil pipework as there were some supplier "issues".
ETA - that was the only straightforward way to fit it Alex

cooling
you may want to fit a small ally scoop to push the air through the matrix due to the angled mounting....just a thought

Awesome. Except using the word 'mint' to describe something other than a herb or a coin making place

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

Looks neat. Will be doing something similar with the oil cooler for my supercharger.
