If there is enough interest we can do one for RHD as well

I was talking to Calum about his tractor battery; I'm aware these small batteries can do it...I've just been there when they don't.

oh, and no tender nor block heater. I did use synthetic oil though.

I really like what the guys at JDL are doing, everybody should support them they are making some very quality parts for us and look to be committed to the platform.
I haven't got anything from them yet but we have been in contact and i do plan to get their UEL header and this combo, turbo kit one day i hope.

All cars produce PCV gasses/oil so it would be beneficial for NA or Forced Induction

I've seen some internal engine pics that make me think it definitely good insurance for the engine. I would have one already but haven't found one i really liked until now. You know me i wouldn't recommend something if i didn't think it was a good idea, this is a really nice kit.
