    Mole's Gul T-5R

    Though it a good idea to start a thread for the Gul, to keep everything together that gets done on her in my ownership. I envisage her staying very much standard looking with a few hidden tweaks as we go along. The standard airbox has been refitted and contains a pipercross panel filter, which has reduced the loudness a bit, but still allows me to enjoy the turbo chatter (as the recirc was blanked when I bought her). In the coming week I hope to fit new suspension all round ( thanks Neal ) and repair/replace the alternator as it has stopped charging the battery, but the way things are going, it's looking like the engine will have to come out to change it, as the bolts are seized solid and access to them is all bar impossible. The Haynes book of lies makes it out to be a simple job and so it should be, but the truth is the complete opposite. I will manage some how as I need to get it running again for the Evo Run in a few days time.
