Nialls supercharged GTi6 - project tidy up

[Niall]

Got my oil and filter change done yesterday. Took me an hour and half. Drained the oil and got the filter pliers on the filter and they just kept slipping. Someone had done it up tight with no oil on the seal. Was so tight that after I eventually managed to get a screw driver through it (just kept caving in to start with) and twist, it actually sheared the filter away from the base so i was just left with the base of th filter on the block. Tried to remove the manifold to get to it easier but couldn't do that because it was stuck to the block and didn't want to puLl it off because I didn't have a new gasket! Eventually got it off after lots of swearing.

Also got my rear shocks on and new centre section. Exhaust is still blowing from the manifold joint I think but it's much better and doesn't have a rotten centre section now!
Handles much better with the new shocks but bad news is its jacked the back up....



Time for a visit to kris I think but won't be before fcs
