Mark's Busa AR51 Build

[mrniceguy]

Im still here lurking! Unfortunately I had an oil line let go on the AR51 around the same time the Mrs had a kid and I bought an old British sports car, the two most time consuming things known to man. I have picked up a ZX14 though, so I'm not out of the game just yet.

Welcome back!
Congrats on the munchkin.
What did you pick up? You’re gonna get really good at wiring.
Don't (older) British sports cars use funky sized fasteners?

Is there such a thing? A trained ankle is required, though.

BTW was it a cooler line? If so any tips so mine stays safe?

Sorry, just saw this. Keep it far away from the exhaust, wrap the exhaust where it's closest, don't buy cheap "fancy" braided Chinese line, buy proper stuff from a hydraulic hose shop.

ZX14 and a TVR Cerbera! It uses a mixture of Imperial and metric, like most of the Aussie cars of my youth.
