| went to see chris today to give him the oil filter and mount and see how the bug was going, seems to be going great, chris has jettted them etc , sorted fuel lines out, timing. tappets . rear hub seal and cleaned all the brake out and new plugs etc. video of it running throught most the vid i had my thumb over the mic so sounds quite . just needs the oil cooler mount and filter and chris to make some proper lines up and fitting and then finally tune it on the rolling road  http://s417.photobucket.com/albums/pp253/WizBizMartin/?action=view¤t=20102009023.flv |

| i got a remote oil cooler on the frid ....mounted up front on the beam ....... Don't ask me why ? ...it just came like that ......IMO its a stupid idea ...not only do you have really long hoses running under the vehicle right to the front ........but the extra drag on the oil pump is rediculous .........I would try to keep the cooler near the rear as possible if I were you dude

| Good stuff. Shame about the cooler, get the £15 one, will it fit house existing hose and fittings? Have to go for a cruz when you get it back. |
