I don't personally, I've only seen it on a hoist in the workshop, but I'm sure if you contact Abbey direct they'll be able to help.

Here is a few pich of my home made fuel system, which keeps the boot fully functional still.

Hope they can help someone.
The actual swirlpot is made i alloy in these pics, Ive since then made a new tank i stainless as the fuel breathes through the alloy, same deal with the pumps actually.

So now the swirlpot is made from stainless steel and every fitting is aeroquip -6 and the pumps are located under the car just below the swirlpot.Now the cabine is nothing but leather fumes rather than 98 octane :-)

Yeah Abbey's is all mounted outside the boot too.......under the car rather than in the boot at all. Nice work Nicholas.

Rain · 19th March 2007, 09:43 PM

Its nice to see them cover the cars!! top class service !

R.I.P.S NZ · 20th March 2007, 10:24 PM

Spark's fuel system will retain over 85% of the original boot space, the spare wheel will still be accessable, as will the jack etc so the effect on boot space will be very minimal, I'd like to think the 'WOW' factor and performance gains might help compensate in some small way for the 15% loss of boot space

canman · 20th March 2007, 10:35 PM

Depends who you are I suppose......... I prefer to hide it away, all factory like

Reality is that the R34 boot is pretty useless for most things anyhow as it's too short front to back to be useful, I struggle to find a suitcase that'll fit in it without some serious force............thank god it's got a back seat

deef · 23rd March 2007, 04:15 PM

Im thinkin along these lines as I stated before, But its down the road a bit.I talked wit rob already,He really seem a nice top bloke. I would thrust him wit my baby..... Also top thread again... lol Best of luck sparks

sparks · 23rd March 2007, 04:28 PM

Cheers Deef!!

Just the time game now, everything is just about fabricated so hoping to update with some pics of it all going together very soon.

Cheers Sparks

Blimey Deef !!!! I mean I know Rob too and he is a nice bloke, very helpful, but I think it's going a bit far to "Thrust him wit your baby" I'm pretty sure Robs not that type

sparks · 23rd March 2007, 10:26 PM

I think Rob would be prepared to put an engine in anything , but a baby is pushing it

carterjohn · 23rd March 2007, 10:50 PM

Ludders · 23rd March 2007, 11:07 PM
