    I've had a 24" one on my A bar for best part of a year now. No issues ther than the black paint has got a bronzey look to it now. No biggy tho!

        So Update.

        Fuel tank seems to be a bit more under control. Got some new hoses coming and a few bits and bobs so that should be fixed soon.

        Have started getting a leaking oil filter and tightening it won't fix it so it now has to be removed. Just unscrew it right? Oh of course not this is Vince's work.
        I have to unbolt the engine and hoist it/jack it up somehow.
        Seems he couldn't be arsed fitting the remote oil filter housing or anything I supplied so more expense just for a simple oil filter.
        It actually knocks the chassis on closer inspection, probably what caused the damage.

          Seriously! The oil filter is between the chassis leg and the block?

            Haha yeah. I think my best option is to drain the oil, saw through the filter and unscrew the rest with the space i make then fit a remote oil filter adapter and stuff. Don't fancy moving the whole engine if i'm honest....

            Anyone have any better ideas? :/

                I planned to get this
                http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-LS40...-/331182076683

                Could do with one from the UK though ideally.

                Then put a housing for it which I have up top of the engine bay near the airbox.

                              That was the one I was going to post!

                              That does bypass the factory water-jacket cooler though..

                              I'm actually planning on fitting one of these to mine, along with a oilstat and external oil cooler.

                              Those weren't about when I built mine so I used one of these: (different thread I think... but same style/brand)

                              http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Torques-Oi...item54005aed99

                              something like that will be the easiest/quickest fix,, if that's what you are after.
                              More Lift.
                              More Tyres.
                              More Engine.
