Ok, so done a bit more on this in the last few days.......
Oil cooler setup all done.....
Fuel system is done now.
Consists of - modified tank drain plug into a bottom feed outlet, Pierburg Extenal lift pump, surge tank, Bosch 910 main pump. I had to mount it in the back of the wagon, but it is off to the side and I am gonna make up a cover for it.....
Car is 100% wired up....
Front brakes and coilovers are in. R32 master cyl fitted with modified lines..... I have ended up using the G'Reddy coilovers anyway, As I dont want to pull the blue 86 apart anymore to rape parts off it....
BEFORE:
AFTER: Greddy Coilovers, Hoppers stoppers Brake kit (XR8)

Good progress with this,How come you couldn't keep the fuel setup underneath?
Couldn't find a spot I liked.....
Cant put it above diff, Cant put it near wheels, cant put it near outside panels....... Nothing safe in my opinion....
