    Not seen that before. Might be worth considering converting to a screw in type oil filter. Looks very messy though.

    Not sure why when you could of fitted a standard mani that would of fitted without "cut and shutting it" and saved you that job. :/

    Just sayin though.

    my mistake on my behalf its mani and pipe we had off 106 due to not having the cat on it we thought it would of fitted but didnt so had to bend it (by cutting and re welding up)

    So you taken the mk2 manifold with cat off and fitted the mk1 manifold to de-cat it?

    You need to convert the oil filter to a mk1 filter with the insert and the m10 bolt in the return.

    I don't think I am allowed to tell you that I sell these kits so use the search function.

    Without trying to sound like too much of a cock, your are aware how stupid you've been? And lucky your car didn't burst into flames?


    But as said, convert to mk1 oil filter and get a better mani

    If you put a mani from a mk1/106 etc before they put the cat in the manifold you need to move the oil filter...
