Personal preference, I don’t like them, more places to leak, and it means the lines stick out further.  Grommets can look neat, its more about spending time on the lines themselves imo.  Excuse my filthy bay btw.

Pretty sure last thing anyone is going to notice on this bad boy when they open the bonnet is the brake lines.

Got a spare hour or two. So I had a fiddle getting it ready to drop in.

Progress so far

ASR Windage Tray + Improved Racing Baffle all installed

Ls1 sump on

This is why the LSA is boss the tech compared to the ls1 is way ahead of time. Bit like comparing 304 to ls1

Factory Headers. Make for good turbo logs 😉

Last but not least. 3 of my knuckles.

Whats a build without a little bit of skinned knuckle action

So whats your plan re K member clearance, I know you have said you are just going to wing it, but seems a bit dumb given all the planning you have done on everything else.  Get the sump corners trimmed back and plates tig welded in.  Seriously its nothing compared to everything else your doing?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

I’m gunna just drop it in and have a suss first. Plan was to do it all today. Was ready to roll and then worked out. I don’t have any engine mount bolts. FML!!?

Packed up and went 4wd’ing instead lol
