I'm working on it guys! My progress has been held up by a stupid out of production fuel pump lock ring. I need a new gas tank and I'm a little broke right now. :undecided:

but i should have some fuel system updates for you goons this week.

I'm using those sweet Russel adapter fittings so I can run braided ss lines the whole way, feed (-8) and return (-6).

I'll be running an Aeromotive on rail! I have 60lb deka's under here...

I also made my own baffled breather can! The best things in life are free! :rolleyes:

Its worth mentioning I already have the fittings and the braided lines (and a stealth 340), I'm just waiting on a freaking gas tank, can't really start till thats all set and the pump is wired off the alternator/battery.

Your inbox is full....
Damn hell of a progress... Whats the differences and gains with all those turbo upgrades that on3 offers?

They just let you do things a little different, I got a smaller turbo for the faster spool time mostly. The oil relocation kit doesn't seem necessary. I was told it was, but when I got a smaller filter and screwed it on it clears the headers just fine! we will see.

Cleared some space in my inbox btw. Lulz.

Do you just need the lock ring? I just got one for my Notch, not sure if they're any different over the years but I can check and see if I can a part number for you from work if that's really all you need to use the tank you have.

Why do you need a new tank? I have my old locking ring on my old tank I could give you... I had to replace my tank/sending unit/fuel pump/fuel pump hanger because the inside of the tank was rusting inside from sitting for 7 years but the locking rings are still solid.

Thanks for the offers guys, but I already have a new tank on the way! On the bright side, I kinda needed one anyway. My old one was pretty crusty. :confused1:

Red straps?


WHY NO PURPLE!?

:yuno:

I had them purple, I was planning on painting my brakes red to match, but tonight the paint on the straps lifted so idk what I should do. I still think red calipers will look better behind gold spokes, and I want the straps to match yanno?

Are you going to painting those gold? If so that's going to look bad ass. And x2 on purple straps and calipers. Be different and it goes with your bay/suspension
