nice one jay,there is a mob in qld ???who are the diff and gearbox masters, peter shelley from cvwc put me on to them i will look it up as my 02a is heading up there for the peloquin at some stage
Do you feel guilty when you put oil in the motor as the internals are no longer so shiny and clean? I swear I've never seen a more spotless and immaculate engine. If I had the money I would've been doing something like this instead of getting the Renault. :)

Nice one Jay,
Way to make my project look insignificant... hahah

I finished up the wire tuck on the passenger side engine bay . I ran the hood switch connector, head light connector and the washer fluid low level switch through the frame rail. I kept the washer fluid low level switch because Im going to use that for the water/meth so when it gets low I will get the icon in the cluster and it will work as factory.
As for the fuel lines that go to the fuel rail I may do them in stainless steel lines or hardlines since I have plenty of fittings and supplies-well see.
I still have to relocate the P/S reservoir to the frame rail since it still will be the highest point when I need to bleed it and I'll get rid of the hardlines and do some custom ones along with gettng rid of the line that runs over the tranny.
I think Im going to ditch the coolant tank and run a inline filler and filter in one that way I still can run coolant to my turbo.

So now I need to grind off all the mounts and stand offs Im not gona use and give that side of the engine bay a good sanding and prep it for some paint. In the mean while Im working the wiring harness arcoss the back of the bay and over to the drivers side.
Mrs. JLT like what the hell!
