Day full of problems
leaving the pipe off the throttle boidies shouldn't cause the engine to blow smoke (have run a few with pipes off and no smoke) unless there was an oil residue around the gap in the pipe/throttle that had been drawn in. otherwisw, maybe a coincidence?? can't help with saucing the pipes though, sorry:)

Rear oil seal...
yes, once the gear box, clutch and fly wheel have been removed. its just a case of unbolting the seal retainer and prying out the main seal. job done!:D

manual gearbox questions
the box must be vented, either that or, well, its up to you

manual gearbox questions
dont blank the pipes, they or atleast one is a breather. second hand switches are rife, check the trade section but, you only need the reverse switch. the cooler at the back of the car would have been a diff cooler so dont worry about that.

leak
the expansion bottle will leak, its in two parts with no water tight seal. if you pull back the arch liner you can see the bottle and its min/max lines. its possible that the bottle was filled to high when cold causing it to spill out. just check the rad when cold and top it up from there.

Electric Fan - Is it for extra water cooling - or...
thanks dude, the balance bar is there just to equal out pressure as the passanger turbo has around 2 foot more pipe work than the drivers turbo. as far as i can remember, the A/C fan will kick in at around 105deg just as a last ditch atempt on keeping the engine from cooking. i'l be at Z009, japfest and the rolling road day (23rd) if you're about. you're more than welcome to have a nose over the old girl

Electric Fan - Is it for extra water cooling - or...
im using a pull to draw the air through. i had mine set up on a thermo switch coming out of a collar in the top short water pipe. i've now since wired the fan into the A/C fan supply and set it to switch on at 75deg and go off at 80deg but, thats with a stand alone ecu

Electric Fan - Is it for extra water cooling - or...
its the A/C fan that cuts in with the A/C and also when the engine gets too hot, i think around 100 deg. if you still have the viscous fan then i would keep it but, some people have removed the A/C fan when swapping the viscous to an electric with no problems. i myself have only run one electric (16") fan for a few years with no problems what so ever :)
