But hey its a ford leaking oil is what they do...I will be interested to see what solutions you people come up with.... My mechanic suggested doing similar to what you said Nigel, with the catch can in the boot. I have this fear of the car smelling like oil...

Rosie Member 361 Member For: 18y 23d Posted 24/08/10 09:18 PM Share Posted 24/08/10 09:18 PM My fear to mate!I'm hoping the combination of the Diff Cooler and the 1.5m of Hose will stop the Oil from even reaching the Catch Can!I'll let you know soon enough!

Can't wIt to go pick it up.Will post up some pics and info when I start piecing it together. Further It looks like I have found myself a full set of brembo calipers to throw on with the new rotors and pads to follow. I have also been looking at how I'm going to rout the ducting from the front bar to the brake rotors but I have a few neat ideas about how to do that. Also looking at incorporating them into the new front undertray I'm designing (pics to follow soon). Also designing a new center section deleting the mid muffler and cat from my x-force exhaust. Working on a thermostat controlled oil cooler kit that will be mounted behind the left hand fog light (I don't currently have them fitted) and the right fog light position is currently setup as a cai ram air to the airbox. Also in the process of picking the new seats that will replace the factory ones long term so they must be comfortable aswell as functional and ADR approved. Will also in the next couple of weeks be fitting up a brand new set of R1R toyo tyres so we can start dialing in the new suspension package. Aside from that I have been flat out at work so havnt had a chance to look at the hard cover, diff cooler/ catch can ideas yet or what other weight saving is possible.Until next time cheers Adam Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69949-superlap-2011-build-with-a-twist/page/3/#findComment-1034932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
