So just ordered my Stillen SC

So far after 1 day, I can say my understanding of "bolt on" and stillen's is obviously a lot different lol, there's quite a lot of little customisation you need to do with the fuel pump/cutting body pieces/bending water lines (again was told would not have to drop coolant from the vehicle, this is definitely not the case, ended up just draining all the coolant to stop it from pouring out and spilling everywhere when needing to bend a water pipe/cut the hose shorter as outlined in the manual. So my service I got done last week, will need to get more coolant to fill-up once finished.

have installed the new fuel pump (this should really be offered as a complete drop in unit, the stuffing around you have to do to install the new fuel pump is beyond a joke). Of course once you do 1, the next ones would be easy, but for 1 off installs, there should be an option to purchase the pump/housing as a complete kit to drop in.

have got up to releasing the tension from the belt, couldn't get a socket onto it, may have to remove the fans to get to it properly, will have another look in the morning.

so up to page 12 of 37 in the manual. There is a lot of vague instruction which almost explains things as if you have done them before, some parts are really good and illustrate with specific pictures, other parts are rather poor with instruction.

Getting there!
