    So is this car for sale?

    Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

          Everything I own is for sale...

          Stephan is correct, the brilliant red one I put together to sell... Already gone though.

          Okay... Just for you.

          I'm really, really not into photographing machinery...

          But I will take the big guns (Nikon D3 and a 17~35 f/2.8 AFS) to the shop soon... I promise

          Shot this...Flipped the Oil Filter/Cooler block to clear the header tubes:

          (Will be replacing the stock oil lines and cooler soon as part of this project)



          Here is one someone else shot:

            any issues with the oil cooler lines when flipping the oil filter piece 180 degrees like that?

            My filter is a bitch with my headers and that is such a simple fix.

              No issues at all so far... (about 1k miles)

              It does change the direction of flow to the cooler so it is a very good idea to clean out the cooler first (could dislodge the mung that collects in the "dead eddies" flow spots.

              Another thing I would suggest though would be to inspect it often because the locator tab on the filter/cooler block is no longer working to keep it from creeping loose.

                  Are you aware that you are simply taking up space on this planet?

                  Go be useful someplace...

                        ^^ it seems like he's just trying to get a rise out of you.


                        You should overcome your problem of not wanting to take photos without people in them by getting people to model with the various technical bits of your car :razz:

                          You mean sexy car models with a little dash of grease on their cheek and lots of tit showing?

                          It's more of an aversion to dragging a heavy pro camera around...

                          If I'm ever back in the green, I'll buy a good little point and shoot for shit like this.

                              Nothing in it but a 17 pound racing seat and a harness...

                              My target kerb weight is 23 to 2500 depending on how elaborate I get on the crash cage.
