Car looks awesome. Those old stock turn signals look out of place with all that sweet sparkly **** everywhere, would look great with an aftermarket set. You should sparkle the alternator cover. Im thinking about doing the hydrographics leopard or tiger stripe print on my comp. housing and uim.

Car is looking great. Still wish you would have went with black rims but i guess whatever floats your boat.

You have an amazing garage and you're lucky if that is yours. I would tear my car apart and do a build like this if i had an indoor garage.

Yeah, the pic in post #57 is a perfect portrayal of feeding the addiction. Set to desktop background for the time being.

There is a house down the street from me, where the paint is literally peeling off the walls and the yard is dead. I mean it is the worst house in the neighborhood. But he has an EVO, STI, and S2000 parked alongside it. lol

So i got some pics of my fuel pumps. all i can say WTF is this ??








this is what i learned yesterday

The fuel hose used was not submersible and is degrading already

'T' fittings were used which does not permit the fuel to merge

One hose is plugged with a bolt.

im surprised this **** even worked.

i just wanted to do something i had never seen before go out and test out a new color, if i had done black my car would of just been labeled as "there that bad *** FD with the black wheels" i wanted to hear people say something around the line like damn WTF is that ???? and are you retarded, which so far has worked. i like what came out and one day i will own some plan ol black wheels after i pick up set of white wheels and a set of highlighter yellow wheels.

That's some ugly plumbing. But replacing it will feel like you're making progress...

Whoever did that dual fuel pump setup went to Tech School. They better hang their head!

Someone needs a Y block...

Wow, your build is coming together AMAZINGLY! Everything looks fantastic, IMO. I can only hope that my T04Z project comes out half this good in the spring.

I can't wait to see this car finally move under its own power.

Your powdercoated parts look very nice but holy **** that fuel pump setup is one of the most ghetto hack jobs that I have ever seen!!! I ran each of my feed lines up through the fuel pump lid and put AN fittings on them. I would suggest that. Good luck!

That is not the pump assembly going IN, that is the piece of garbage setup that we took OUT. That was only one bad piece of the fuel system the rails and FPR were just as bad. We are in the process of un-ghetto-ing everything.
