I'm curious and somewhat amazed that your body shop removed nothing before painting - mirrors, door handles, tail and 3rd brake lights etc. some of these parts come off in moments and avoid masking lines etc. do you know why they didn't pull anything?

Cheers,

Next up on the list upgrading the valve retainers and keepers to those from an AP2. Should be doing it in next couple of weeks





Also replaced the side markers with OEM Cr side markers



The old ones were some aftermarket dark ones and the chrome around them was falling apart. Nice not to have the emblems on fender anymore


New Cr side markers in place and new amber bulbs replace too!


The old ones that were replaced

Installed a modifry shift beeper i picked up a while back


Ziptied and mounted up in dash area on passenger side

its not very hard to install. pretty straight forward. only thing i not much room in that area to work.
FYI for anyone that installs this in the future. it says to tap into the blue wire on c204 connector however there are 3 blue wires. the ones you want is the one that doesnt have a stripe running through it.

Also easiest way to test if you have installed this correct without even having to leave your driveway i set the trigger rpm to 3000 and that way you dont need to rev high just to test the device. After that you can go ahead and set it to whatever rpm you so choose to shift at

Been holding out on replacing my fuel pump. I think its been on the way out for months and finally it was starting to draw the last straw this weekend almost leaving me stranded a few miles from home. I went with a walbro 255lph and it was a straight forward install. The only thing that sucks about the job is trying to put the rear plastic panels back in.













Good idea to have a bucket to catch the fuel that leaks out.


Old pump next to new pump.


Got the windows tinted too. No more being blinded at night by other cars. 20% all around

Got my new Hankook Rs4 in today. Mounted and ready to go. Now if the weather can cooperate into convincing the track owners to open up early this season.








Weights covered in aluminum tape so they dont ever come off

Can the OEM FPR keep up with the 255 pump at low pulse widths?

willix231

idk about low pulse widths(i dont get all the tuning jargon) but so far no issues at all and the car runs great. its very clear to me that the fuel pump has had issues for months and i just didnt know it. the walbro is great so far. just a tiny bit noisier when i put the key in on position but once engine starts i cant really hear it
