Cheers mate.

To change your fuel pump, do you take the tank out or do you get to it through the hole where the back seat used to be?

Why is your battery in the boot?

coz when i was talking to a guy who does rallying in the new brighton rally
when the batterey is in the engine bay its around 14kgs over one wheel and is high up
thus creating understeer in some circumstances

so moving it the the spare wheel well its low down and centred in the car so itll handle slightly better.

oh and my fav reson i can work on the engine all over it without aving to move anything now everything is accesible easy reach
also if you look my header tank is different and is on the lower inner wing

if your handy with spanners it isnt too hard
spend some time familiriseing yourself with all the bits on new and old engine
and you should have too many problems

no having that in the boot is good, mine has nothing in it, and the back end is far to light, is all over the place when cornering, daimo also noticed this when following me
