Nope, no mention of any sort of filter for the cabin. Also checked the diagrams in ASA. No filter.

Alright.

sh*t all has been happening to this thing for a while, weather and work and what not. But a little bit of progress has happened behind the scenes in the last 2 weeks.

Went up to wine country to work on "The Lawso" to get the engine and box out, as well as anything else that i need for the *ahem* "manual conversion". parts haven't been transported back to mine yet, but should happen sooner rather than later, so I've got a few more things to do.

Booked the engine into the guys at Suzitech for timing belt/water pump and a few other things whilst the engine is out. List of things include tappets, rocker cover seals, rear mail oil seal, cam seals, Spark plug seals, accessory belts, and anything else that is a bit old/sh*t/perished.

Next port of call is to get the engine out of the maroon one, and take all the bits I don't need back to Dwayne.

Still need to test fit those brembos as well. *crosses fingers*

Just for my reference

True :lol:

But could we not do something similar to Dwayne's method of bodykit distribution amongst the club?

You need 2 things to do that:

1. number of people required to make mould for free
2. cost per part

Thenyou need to get that many people interested

    Oh that parts easy.

    It's part 3a (Keep people interested and have them pay) :troll:

    I digress, this thread is getting more use for spam than the cobwebs gathering on Lawso the 3rd.

      Nice progress there, That rattle gun however is gonna let you down if your doing anything more than putting tyres on. It has practically no balls.

      Yeah, know that. Although, to give it a stupid amount of credit, it did get my castle nuts off the hubs! took it a good 5 minutes, but it did it!

      they weren't going to come off any other way either. No pedals, no brakes, nothing to hold the rotors still, so breaker bars were out of the question
