https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...76603129_n.jpg

To accompany the Hans, got a Arai GP5W helmet
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...29623536_n.jpg

Got some rice for the helmet off the ebays. Also came with Visor conversion kit, if I want to run one.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...57495279_n.jpg

Right it's been an overdue update, so straight into it then.

Decided to do a rocker cover vent system, so removed the black PVC box behind the block and blocked it off. Had a friend make me a block bung and a baffled catch can. Running -12 Fittings and lines for this.

Also got a Moroso Sump and fitted an Oil Cooler set up with Thermostatic sandwich plate.

Ended up ditching the crap Skunk2 Pro Series Throttle body, I had a guts full of it jamming open once it got hot. I was lucky enough to know someone going to K Series set up, so I managed to buy there 70mm Spoon Throttle body.

All this was fitted the night before going testing! lol
