Got a start on the meth install. All hardware now in the boot (trunk for the yanks)
test fit
all in.
need to run the meth line to the engine bay and wire it all in. Hopefully tomorrow.
I use parent/child spaces... but I do have a 2yo. Lost count of the amount of times I have had dirty looks/comments but they soon look away sharpish when I lift my little girl out of the back.
Finally got the Mishimoto oil cooler fitted. Had to do a few mods to accommodate superchager install but went in quite straight forward.

Next up is the...
First thing I did was wrap the fuel line in some silicone pipe. On UK cars the fuel line cuts across the coil covers. With the side covers on it’s a shape edge against the fuel line. Only a matter of time until that burst.
Don’t suppose any one knows the part number of the belt tensioner or what it’s from?
managed to damage mine today swapping belts. Doesn’t appear to have any part numbers on it.
I did the install over Christmas.
Now have 1 7/8"headers, 100 cell cats and from 3" down to 2.5" through a Magnaflow Tru-X resonator and 18+ active axle backs.
With valves closed its just right. nice bit of noise but no drone on motorways and hardly hear it at 70/80 cruising speeds.
Valves...
I don't see why not, my GT spent most of December on the Quick Jack while i did the headers and X pipe also the diff and half shafts and springs plus loads of other stuff. Its very sturdy once lifted and on the lock outs. When i upgrade my clutch later this year i will be doing it on the Quick Jack.
Griptec pulley arrived yesterday so got it fitted right away. Currently have 2 Edelbrock pulleys at 3inch and 2.75. I went with a 2.8inch Griptec, if I get no belt slip it will be worth it.
This is what was done on my cars 4th service at about 40,000 miles by last owner.
there isn’t a great deal more you can do.
engine oil/filter
Air filter
gearbox oil
Diff oil
Brake fluid

Plugs

No fuel filter on the GT. built into the pump in the tank.

diff oil was changed in December along with the diff.
Engine oil sat waiting for oil cooler to arrive.
Gearbox oil swapped out today.
