SA Import Beta 2000 Coupe

Just to answer some of you questions;

Oil filter - all the same except VX. You can get one from Betaboyz or any quality brand elsewhere.
Fuel additive - I use Millers VSP. My car used to run ok on the old low octane unleaded, but when it went to E10 it didn't like it on longer runs so moved to super after that.
Filter King - worth having just to regulate the fuel flow and have a visible quality filter. I fitted mine with the standard mechanical pump but others prefer an electric pump. If you fit an electric pump it will need a cut-off switch too.
Gearbox oil - there are recommendations on here if you search. Redline?

Hi

As per above for the gearbox, Redline 75w 90NS. The NS is important due to modern oils can attack the synchros.

I use just E5 petrol in my car without any additives, no problems so far. The mech pump works fine, but keep the return line with it. As above installing an electrical pump requires you to add crash sensor cut off to be safe. I install a filter before and after the mech pump again to be safe as I have had crud come from the tank/old hard lines when I first started using it after it had been stood for a long time.

Fuel lines, I used Cohline, make sure from reputable supplier, you need R9 certified, from memory 8mm on supply and 6mm on return and remember there are hoses attached to the tank as well as in the engine bay.
