    I saw this video the other day its mint lol. Exactly Paul if that elite can handle 300+ bhp with frank Kelly who is no mug I'm sure I won't have any problems "touch wood". He renews his box every year to eliminate having problems. as for my oil filter Paul I've located it on drivers side inner wing I will upload a photo for you

    its a ralloy under bonnet dry sump tank for a duratec. i think i payed £180 for cash not vat and the cut out for it to to weld into the inner wing was £40 and also were the tank is right above the pump its always gravity fed not trying to pull it from the other end off the car definitly worth doing and also you only use 2 meters of pipework saves weight and pound notes how you getting on with the engine sinario paul?

    Re: Danes mk2 escort Tarmac rally car build

    a few little updates for paul c of the mods ive done on my car . rear turrett extensions for more suspention travel and chassis rail cuts to allow the axle to travel further up in the shell. also paul i had my turret extensions made by my local steel engineers i had them roll me the steel then had a top cap put on also with a 5mm pilot hole through the top ready for me to remove my top caps from my old turrets and drill the suitable size hole for the top of the bilstien. these only cost me £30 to have made im buzzing
    also the car will be having a A piller rollcage addition like all the latest modern mk2's and painted anthrecite grey inside due to me disturbing the red paint

    Looking good Dane. Its coming on well. Just change the settings on your camera to the lowest setting. Thats what ive done and it always works without having to re size the photos.

    Whats next on the list then?
