I am running my fuel lines inside the car, the question is should I go over or through the cross member??? As I said simple. |

i ran mine under the crossmember, as the holes were already there, looks neater aswell!!! ““A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.”” - Jeremy Clarkson

Why run them inside the car? I could understand the benifits if it was a rally car, but a track or road car - i just dont get it... |

8mm copper tube is about ?10 for 10m, just go to B&Q or a plumbers merchants and get some 8mm microbore, bends pretty easily too. On 20th Oct, 2015 Tom Fenton said:
