Very cool parts!!! I'm guessing the oil filter block adapter lets you use a bigger filter???

Oh....Please don't take it as flaming, but for future reference, most people consider a tune-up to involve spark plugs....what you have here is and oil change and some other cool accessories...Still great stuff

yeah i hear you about the spark plugs i had it in my mind but to be honest with you i barely drive the cube and also when i saw that thing on top of the engine i was like hmm! i think i will get there next tune up lol!

the main function of the oil block adapter is give you the openings for gauge meters like oil temp or oil pres, this without tapping and drilling your engine oil pan which can be much more costly and riskyi used a mobil 1 filter that you can use still without the oil block adapter, but you do can use a bigger and even longer oil filter, somebody on the other cube forum used a longer oil filter made for the honda fit but it fitted just fine on the cube all diffenrece is that it is like 2 inches longer

welcome to the forums! and thanks for the cube build the hood dampers where installed by the guys at NRG but in general the installation is very straight forward

I'm diggin' that idea - no need to go huntin' for an oil pressure port somwhere in the block that could be very tough to work with / connect your gauge to.
