Sort of says something that I have to own this car for over eight years before I get around to modifying anything, but seeing as how I already have two open track cars that are high-maintenance upholstered bricks, sometimes it takes awhile to get to doing one-off stuff to the daily driver.
Installed a remote oil filter at the last oil change. Used a simple adapter at the oil filter location and a Mocal remote adapter for a large FL1-A style 3/4"-16 thread filter. The filter is mounted vertically on the driver's side frame rail under the battery, so it screws off without making a mess, and I don't have to drop the forward undertray to access the filter anymore.
-10 (5/8" I.D.) Aeroquip SS braided lines and good, smooth, high-flow AN fittings were used everywhere.
Here's the takeoff on the block.
Here's the filter from underneath.
Here's the filter adapter from up top. There's a temp sender for the oil temp gauge, and the plug on top is for a pressure sensor when it arrives. Should have gotten the filter adapter that had the ports rotated another 90º, but it wasn't in stock at the time. Had a chunk of 3/8" angle in the metal scrap bin that served as a good mounting bracket.
The next project is to install the 3-gauge A-pillar pod that I bought in a CEG group buy from LoTek back in (cough, cough...) February 2001.
