have you gone around to building your suspension? are you going to autocross for fun? or compete in a sanctioned body?

My next few mods to suspension will be the MM phb and torque arm. I'm going to cut the springs a bit too for a stiffer ride. I can't go as crazy as I want to because it's still a daily and I also don't want to spend too much on suspension parts because I plan to put in the SLA GR40 system from Griggs. I'm sure I will get more into competition as its natural, but currently I'm autocrossing for fun/practice/training. I'd love to race one day against my heroes in autocross like Mike Maier, Brian HoBaugh, and Brett Madsen with the BTM autosports roush. They've been inspiration to race especially Mike. I'm sure one day I'll road race the car too but not for a few years

Ive met and talked to mike. Hes a really cool guy this guy can talk! If youre in a hurry to go somewhere dont talk to him lol. Youll be there for 30 min easy talking to him. The 3 link is a good setup. I have it on my car with full coilovers. And its a daily. So something to keep i mind is that Bret, Mike, Brian all race in SCCA. They have rules regarding which class you compete in. And you can bump yourself out of a lot of classes with stupid things. Unless you do CAM-C. Which will have restrictions on spoiler and splitter sizes. So when you build your car, you gotta ask yourself "do i wanna have fun, or do i wanna be competitive in my respective class". Just food for thought :)

I'm pretty sure once I get more into SCCA that I will be in the cam c. I remember talking to the teachers at my starting line school about what classes were what and how my car sits already it would be in the higher modified class where it would be torn a new one hahah

Lol exactly. CAM-C is very broad in their rules. And lots of competitors. Just have fun. Sooner or later these sanctioning bodies will get old because they limit your build.

Not sure if you know this or not, but if you were trying to gain access to the CCRM only, you could just take your front wheel off, and pull the inner fender....

Dont have to do that full destruction.

Pics look crisp

After hours of work and a new fuel pump the car still won't prime...

I have no idea what's wrong with the car. Ccrm looks fine. Old fuel pump looked fine. New fuel pump should work just fine. No blown fuses. I'm out of ideas

20160426_114500.jpg


starting to get the tank down...which was a pain

20160426_144951.jpg


finally got the pump off

20160426_145144.jpg


out

20160426_165839.jpg


all up and hopes of it working...which it doesnt...so im going to pick up a new ccrm sometime and hopefully that will work. the inertia switch is getting its 12volts on start up so im just clueless as to what it could be

(in case anyone was wondering if i spilled any fuel...yes...yes i did...all over myself...)

i need haaaalp

Look at your fuel pump wiring. If you have power going to the pump and its not working then you either have a bad pump or a bad ground. You can unplug the fuel pump and put your own power and ground to it just to make sure the pump is working.

You said you are getting power to the inertia switch, is it coming out of the switch? Have you checked for power at the pump?

Might not be a good idea to have that big of a brake in the rear

The power is coming from the plug that goes into the switch, I haven't checked the ground or pump for that power though. Not sure how I would be able to check that

Plug the inertia switch back in and unplug the fuel pump under the rear of the car. You can turn the key on and probe that plug for power. If you can check that and report back we can go from there. If Im not explaining it clearly let me know and ill try to get some pictures and be more thorough.
