Thanks guys! The tyres are ace! They really do rock, I forgot to scrub them in before going back to my normal driving style. Didn’t realise you could drift in a front wheel drive car!

Ill try and route out the invoice from demon tweeks for part codes. 8 weeks for samco in black!

A how to guide? If I get chance I will put one together but if any of you grab me at a show ill be happy to go threw it with you!

Breather pipe - is next on the to do list! I’m going to run a pipe down to the bottom of the engine bay and fabricate an oil catchments tank! This will hopefully eliminate any occasional smells, I mite make a few of these for other people

i would certainly be up for buying an oil catcher off you when you get round to making them. when i'm sat in traffic i get the nasty oily smell wafting into the cabin. any part numbers for the samco kit would be excellent as it does look really neat and tidy, much better than the standard hose the cda's come with. what did you pay for it?
thanks si

Job Done - very nice.

yea finally! duct tape wasen't doing a very good job! i started to make my catchment tank today! does anyone know if you polish mild steel will it rust in your engine bay?

Yep - like a t**t...... But you could lacquer it

looks like its being sprayed in mat black then!

could have it chrome plated - and it would look good too.
cheers si

the theme for my engine bay is Black or carbon fibre, polished and red!

oooooh count me in for one of those oil bnrather things if your making them !

i think its about time i samco'd my BMC too, the pipe ive got is POO !

Any part numbers wud def be a great help dood !

hi dub

any joy with digging out the bits for the samco kit - got some cash burning a hole in my pocket. hows it going with the oil catcher thing? anything to spend some time on the car as i was dragged round ikea on saturday!

cheers si

Samco

i carn't find the invoce but this is what you want

1X 90 degree elbow (black)
1X 70 to 60mm reducer (black)

they are the two bits i got, but i don't know how your going to posishion your kit? im using a pice of 60mm stainless pipe bent at powerfolw.

if you want to do it the same way i would advice you to get your samco and a bracket to bolt your filter to (i attached mine to the same clamp that holds the battery down) then take your car to a powerflow or simmilar place and get them to custom bend you a pice of pipe. i don't think oil tank thing will work! i've started to make one in work so ill see how it goes. another option is to extend the pipe to the bottom of the engine bay to stop the fumes getting drawn into the cabin.
