...........kinda, had it off for so long i lost some little clips to secure the filter with lol.

makes the negine bay look better tho, i think, next ill get my cold air feeds in.

looks ok, but not as good as it would with no filter and 90mm trumpets

from this:


to this:


all i needed to do was drill 12 holes and distroy my rocker cover gasket to produce oil slicks everywhere and fit the filter.

anyone have any idea how i can stop my car killing rocker cover gaskets at 9k rpm???

it is making the power low down the rev range but its still making usable power at 9k lol! peaks at 8k now but is still making 185 bhp and strong torque at 9k

riley, i plan to melt some old 2p coils down and drilling it onto a used rocker cover gasket, then covering it in glitter glue and hamspter urine

iv been using some special shit that you get from subaru garages, its amazing at stopping leaking sumps, thought it had solved the rocker cover leak till we raised the limiter 500rpm, then it all went wrong, leas i dont need to do oil changes. and people can see where i park lol!

ill try the marmite dave, see what happens, ill get a slave to do it to save my hands
