Oil Filter Relocation Kit

Quick update.

The oil relocation kit was purchased at a bargain price for $85 a few months ago from someone in the eastern states. It was the only one left. The hose and AN-10 fittings i purchased were from Summit Racing in the US as i mentioned in the previous blog. The filter was suppose to be a starlet one but after trail fitting one at Supercheapauto it was clear that the adapter had a different thread. The starlet/glanza thread is 3/4" where my relocation kit had a M20 thread on the filter side. It was pretty easy finding a filter with a different thread which ended up being almost the exact same size.

You'll see from the photos that i had to cut a entrance hole for the fittings in the body of the mini. I originally planned to have the filter side of the relocation kit installed inside the engine bay near the master cylinders but routing the hoses up there wasnt going to be pretty. I ended up mounting it on the subframe inside the wheel well behind the right side indicator.
