| ok, so i thought i'd make an update on what ive been doing, since i got the car back together I noticed a litle bit of clutch slipage.. so I picked up an Xtreme kit, KFD26001XHD, a few weeks ago (Bathurst weekend) and was going to fit it during the week, but ended up burning my arm with second degree burns , so after several weeks of healing I was able to use it again.. and got a chance on monday to fit up my clutch .. |

it should be putting out about 200 rwkw I'm very happy with that.. (for now)..
As for the sump, I used a air chizel to poke a hole, then opened it out with a larger punch then got another punch larger again to open it out enough to tap a thread into it I used a 3/4 BSP tap. but before I attacked the sump on my car I got an old sump to test and perfect it.. Took me three of for times before I got it right.. |

I did think about moving the battery, but not like the idaa of runing the wireing, it was much easier making up the piping.. |
