it's getting 12v for about half a second. after that it drops down. pump still won't prime though so I'm going to drop the tank again tomorrow to make sure everything inside the tank itself is done correctly. what are your thoughts?
When you drop the tank, see if you can rig something up to power your pump with a battery. Make up your own wires and put constant power to the pump to see if it runs.

So the pump IS priming while it's out so now I'm going to start to put it back in and continue to go step by step and see if it still priming

now here come the photos
getting the car prepped and ready to go into the garage (yes it had to be pushed...)
snapped a pic of the engine since i dont have any engine pictures on the thread
in the garage and up for the last time during this endeavor
*insert middle finger emoji*
wires seemed to be on just fine but i took them off, tightened them up and then got ready to put it back in
tried to hear the pump prime but i couldnt however when i came back around i figured out that the pump WAS working. it was shooting the fuel out of the line that connects to the filter so it got on the ground...thanks to my step dad for making me aware... lol
ready to drop
right before the moment of truth
the pleasure from her starting up and hearing that wonderful purr
running and out of the garage
ccrm and splash shield put back and squared away
"custom" openings that i will utilize at a later date to get more air to the front brakes to cool them down
front bumper back on and everything tightened up
she makes this whine sound that sounds like a supercharger so i thought i would throw that in there too since im already UBER excited that she is running again
and now both the Stealth Mare and I are happy campers
BIG thanks to @lwarrior1016 for all the insight on ways to fix my issue

Was it ccrm related?

you know, im not completely sure. its possible that the ccrm wasn't sending the right amount of voltage to the pump since it wasnt working how it should have, and now with it being fixed the pump gets full power. i had the pump out as well as the ccrm in addition to the battery being out, so the computer could have reset. regardless the pump is new and works, so at the end of the day i learned that: the ccrm can cause this issue; the fuel pump can cause this issue; the fuses being blown can cause this issue; and the crankshaft position sensor can cause this issue if it is bad.

i know baer makes a kit where you can fit the 6 piston calipers in the rear with 14in rotors. i will try to get at least 4 piston calipers in the rear when that time comes. if the shelby gt350/R can fit 15in rotors and 4 piston calipers in the rear then i think a purpose built track/autocross car can live with the bigger brake system in the rear, but thats my goal. might not be someone elses
I didnt mean that you couldnt fit it in the rear. I just meant that youll need to have it brake balanced if you want it to perform good at the track. But thats just my thought process and suggest looking into it. However, its your car and you do what you'd like. Didnt mean to give you grief or criticize you about it. Just offering you some insight and education. If you would like to get into that, i recommend that you review the article below. Do what you will with the information.

Nope, that's a real carbon fiber S281 spoiler, just like the svo skirts. A company called special carbon fiber out of San Diego makes LOTS of CF pieces for 94 to 04 Mustangs as well as carbon driven. Although I don't know where carbon driven is based out of

so ive been wanting to paint my car this color, but never bothered to see what it would look like on our cars. THAT HAS CHANGED THOUGH! i gave my brother my xbox one for his birthday but before i did that i bought forza 6 and in all the forza games ive played (i have every single forza...) ive made my car nearly exactly how it is. but i figured why not make it look more how i want it to when everything is all said and done.
this color is called carbon black, it is a color you can get on bmw models and needless to say its phenomenal on an SN95
so the last picture looks more like the color in person, the phone could only do so well taking the picture from the tv. i have a CF s351 spoiler on the car since you cant put the s281 on, a s351 heat extractor hood, HRE s101 rims which look like FR500s, forza front bumper splitter to take the place of the boss shinoda splitter im going to get and a FTR tow hook

You're paint already looks good!
I have to say though, that beemer color looks right at home on there. I love it. I also think its kind of cool that it gives kind of a blue hue when the light hits it.
