right mot is up and the car needs some tweeking so last nite i set too.

had a leaky oil return and mani gasket. blowing downpipe and slipping clutch so the first thing was to pull the lump out.

got a list down to my feet of bits i want to sort. one of which is mod the bulkhead so i can have a air filter (yes i know foolish)

going to make a new downpipe, the pic will make that 1 clear

and lower the intercooler for better airflow

started on a new downpipe, im sure you can see why with the state of the old one.

hoping to have the down pipe fixed to the engine so that it can be dropped in attached then just bolt the rest up to that (HOPING)
