Until he ripped the oil filter to pieces! Read it yesterday, dont mind the speedhunters site, they have a good mix of content these days, and some talented photographers on board too!

why would you brag about breaking the oil filter, stupid.... simple fix but bad option not to do something about...

Totally agree with the Colonel...why brag about something so easily fixed....he's obviously spent a heap of cash....what was wrong with fitting a remote mount filter??

Guess I can't talk much.....he's driving his Notch....I'm just looking at mine in the driveway!! :lol::lol:

Well if yours was excreting that much oil, I'd be telling you not to drive it. Seriously he wold need a new filter every time he drives it + more oil & the risk of starving it from oil. It bottom of the filter is clearly being mashed every time it hits boost. That's just stupid in my book.

Anyway. Aside from, it's a nice conversion, and a sweet notch. Very cool wheels!

Nice write up and pics.
You would think he would have solved the oil filter problem before.

After all that trouble to build the thing, how embarassing to have it die during a photo shoot. It would be like turning up to do an interview with a high profile personality with laryngitis.

Yeah Ryan came here for loads of advice many moons ago when he was first building the car

Hi

That car is sweet, aren't Notches rare in the US?

Most aftermarket oil filter relocation units make the fittings hang lower than the exhaust, I bought a Canton unit from the states that the fittings go in from the side and it swivels 360 degrees.

That was worth a look, thanks.

Yeah he has posted on here before, nice looking car and all I can say about the oil filter is "she'll be right", probably hurry, time and money to do other options, not good enough excuse but it happens. Dont know if its just me but I expect more from cars that get featured, like finished internal paint areas, door jams, under bonnet, engine bay, a fuse box cover! The little detail makes all the difference.
