had a quick look tonight and that spot actually is looking better an better Ronin assume u used the bolt holes for the power steering lines,

Had wanted to tuck mine up near the drivers side engine mount but I dunno if I am going to manage to fit it in their though its tight!!

Don't give up it does fit there. I just mounted mine up there using a fabbed plate mount bolted thought one of the empty bolt holes on the engine side of the mount. I made the plate up to follow the engine mount to chassis join so it couldn't rotate with an angled piece out into the gap between diff and mount to take the filter unit. Filter sits base down so oil doesn't pour everywhere when changing and its tucked ou of the way.

Just pay attention to the angle of the line coming from the original filter position. You will find you need to make the mount at a strange angle (ie not 90 degrees) to ensure the line clears the engine mount. From the filter to the cooler (thermostat) I used a 90 degree fitting to allow the line to go forward and across the cross member to the LHS.

I can grab some pics on the weekend if you like as the car will likely be up on stands again so I can finish off the ducting to the cooler in the LHS wheel well.

WRRR would love to see some pics, though I think I follow what your saying? Some pics of your ducting idea's would be good to as I will be needing to do similar and am away at work for 5 days so plenty of time to plan the job

Ronin I guess yours being mounted lower you would have more chance of getting ALL The old oil out when changing oil too

Something I am kinda concerned about hence I dont want to resort to mounting high in the engine bay in front of the strut tower like so many others do, if the relocator is the lowest point in the system much more chance of draining all the old oil out.

    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP. 
    • People are going faster on CRS than AR1, so there's that 😕
    • Go the CRS, cheaper than the A052 and same if not better 1 lap performance when suspension is dialled for it. If wanting to do back to back laps the A052 and can cool off and go again next lap will be the better option. I have gone quicker over 1 lap with CRS than the A050 I came from but may be due to getting more seat time. I am driving CRS on the street lately in different conditions and its going well, a lot better than AR1 in the wet. AR1 is a race tyre, CRS is a Hill Climb/time attack/Sprint tyre. 2 different things, a slick is on the way too. The mighty gay mods choice of tyre is proper rubbish for those that actually drive on track not park at bunnings at night.
    • Seems to be a common issue, I had a look at two used tanks and both had similar cracks to mine. No one that does plastic welding near me seems to want to do it to a fuel tank lol
