ha, if you've driven locked diffs before, I'd say just get one whacked together and drop it in, keep the current one spare, that way you can change whenever and it won't be that much of an issue for you either way
I love my minispool.

Well heres my next update.
New modified inlet manifold and cooler piping done.
Obviously its not finished yet, gotta finish the welding off but the hard part is done, its all tacked up and all fits. Very tight squeeze. Manifold is just sitting there atm, gotta install it properly tomorrow, but while its off i am going to do dizzy cap and rotor and also relocate the ignition coil. I also have to extent a few sensor wires for throttle body and make sure throttle bracket and shit is gonna be all good. But anyways heres pics, and also thanks HEAPS Rory, your a legend!

Damn that was a long day Didnt get as much done as i'd liked but when Geoff says it's a very tight squeeze its extremely tight. We spent a good hour just modding the thermos to gain enough room to fit the pipework.
I think itll be another full day almost next week finishing it off and cleaning up a few bits and pieces.

Nice job guys. Sure you spilt enough coolant in your motor? you might want to chuck that oil out I rekcon if heaps went in
Thanks bud
Yeah we tried to keep it that way, it had to have quite a few bends in it to save me from having giant holes in the body of the car, but tried to keep the bends as free flowing as possible.
Thanks dude, haha yeah prob will do oil change anyway
Man thanks looks sick! might have to pop round today and have a look![]()
