dont get a walbro 255........the DO NOT like to run dry, ie 1/4 tank or less. Try a cosmo or GT-R pump, my bro has already been down that road, he went thru 3 walbro's daliy driving his FD. Now the gt-r pump has been trouble free for a while now.(rx7fanatic)

Niether did I, untill the RR&R guys filled me in. The walbro runs warm and dosent like a low fuel level, it tends to get too hot and take a crap if you dont keep the gas tank mostly full. Just wanted to pass on the info.

Hmm, I've ran the walbro 255LPH in my rx-2 with no problems. Already has about 8k miles on it.

Although its an external, I don't think that makes much of a difference, hell its even mounted ON TOP of the tank..
