You need to learn time management.

My OBP baffled oil catch tank is on order now as I was waiting for the new Subaru tank to be listed, I don't think I'll have it by the end of next week so I'll have to possibly postpone the fitting as I'll need to source the hoses etc.

More like I need to stop taking so much on

No worries though Ty when ever you are ready mate

Another score just landed an RCM oil catch tank,only the best

My cusco adjustable rear arms and chassis braces landed today as well,it really is coming together now and with the parts I have assembled I'm hoping it will be quite something when all put together

Feature creep (as DazDavies described it ) is a bitch! One of the reasons why I had to sell up and start again, but glad I did!!

Small update although not actual work lol,I now have all the braided lines/connections for the external fuel setup sorted and 6 speed setup I just put a deposit on[big thanks to Paul]
The fuel setup will be mounted on a carbon fibre plate on the alloy boot floor.
I also have been working on making my own custom inlet pipe,I got the samco from Clive and it had the outlets on it so I have cut them off and got some silicone rescue tape and wound the whole pipe so they are now covered over,it isn't finished as I run out of tape but I have ordered some more and will post a pic on completion.

I virtually have all the piece's of the puzzle now so I just need to find some time to put it all together
