Hi Gang:) Bought my 1st MC in 11/07 and had my first run-flat run-in with a nail. Big O said not possible to fix and anyway, tires on car were different sizes, so ended up with 4 new run-flats @ $209 each. ouch!! Thoughts on run-flats vs. non? Next time I might go with non's and carry a patch kit/spray of some kind. yes/no? Helen (02 Sig/B MC)

Like many of you, I don't like the OEM oil filter system. :mad:
I would like to install a remote oil filter on my R50. Something like this:

Some questions;

Is there anywhere on the stock engine (non S) where I can access the oil flow to tap in lines for a remote oil filter ? If so, where ? :confused:

If so and a remote oil filter was installed, could the OEM filter be just removed and the OEM filter cavity just left empty with the screw on cover installed ? :confused:

Thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. :grin:

Click the picture of the exhaust system you want to view on the ALTA web site.

If you still need the ALTA down pipe to go with the ALTA Catback, check out this link to the "Sales Managers Special" on the down pipe.

We have had a lot of inquiries, so I just wanted to let everybody know that we have Cargo Area Mats and Back Seat Covers ready to go for the Clubman! Some are already being put to good use in Clubmans around the country - check out Polly (left) and Roy (right) as they prepare for a trip to the dog park. Looks like they are both thinking, "Hurry up with that photo so we can get going and have some fun!"
