Its just more pipes/joins/unions to get damaged and leak oil tbh!!! lol

If you remove your non-cooler oil filter thread thing from the pump, give it me!!!

Theres gotta be more advantages having one than not imo
General Baxter
24-03-10, 08:29 PM

Benn

Last Xe don't have them from the factory...


(mine spend all day on track and didn't have any probs, and sounded even better (engine wise)

Exactly,if your constantly kicking its cont in then its definately worthwhile having.
Adam

On a LET with the turbo heat going into the oil then yeah i would 100% fit one. I wouldnt bother on a xe...

My pipes sit silly close to the bottom pully etc, and its always a thought in your head when youre on full lock that the tyres going force them into the pully!
Andy

Personal preference i suppose,but its certainly not going to do it any harm/affect performance.I will be keeping mine you may have guessed lol

LOLWUT?

One of my ex's had a 8v Astra Gte, one of the oil lines broke. So she has the union nuts welded over/in.

About a week later i saw the car.. To say it was tapping its nuts off was unreal. About a week later it has a full on death rattle and die shortly after..
