I originally looked at placing it mid-point on the C-Pillar. Not easy.

Moving to the boot is alot simpler. A 90o bend is all you need. A hole cutter sorts the plastic trim within the boot and an aero-filler cap completes the job

ahh thats v cool thanks for that how does the pipe work run threw the boot floor or behind the lights

It was easy to find a route bud. Just strip out your boot plastics and you will see

That\'s quite a subtle relocation. Don\'t try and put it on the other side of the car like Ash did...

^^^I\'m not sure where the fuel filler is, but I\'m pretty sure it wasn\'t where it started out...

Aye - apparently he was on the hard shoulder on the phone about his broken down rx7, and watched a merc estate pummel into it at 90!! the driver walked away from the merc...

from the other side...

Fook!

Just goes to show how important it is to get out of the car when on the hard shoulder!

I thought he broke down/crashed in the fast lane? I remember seeing some pics on here a few years ago and the car was parked in the fast lane

Silly place to leave an FD really...:eek

hadn\'t he spun it in the wet between a couple of lorries or summat, and couldn\'t get it to the hard shoulder?
