STILL TO BE DONE

THINGS TRIED AND REMOVED DUE TO ISSUES

K-Mac camber and castor top hats for OEM shocks and springs

- workshop that has fitted these top hats previously on other cars advised that there were issues with fitment and design making it unsafe

K-Tuned oil pressure sensor adapter to allow extra ports (sensors / oil feed)

- leaked and was way too heavy for its size and the port it was fitted to and could have damaged the block if it pulled out

Auction site oil filter adapter plate to allow extra ports (sensors / oil feed)

- leaked between plate and filter

- also had a filter blow out the seal between the filter and block and dump 5L of oil due to a design fault with the plate

Car Stereo

- wanted to use the double din spot for keypads and the subwoofer was too heavy

Skunk-2 composite fuel rail

- was reading about failures with fuel rail fittings - nothanks

Great project keep up the great work
