Yes... If our cars had been featured in a movie where an undercover cop flips the targa off while jammin down the highway, then I'd say that there would be a big market for sweet-fitting custom parts for our cars. Unfortunately, the red-headed stepchild of the Supra lineage took that role.

Well, since he brought up brakes, steering and ac in THAT order, I'll cut him some slack. Most common leak point in the brakes system in my experience, is a caliper or its hose. Easiest way to check this is to drop onto your belly, and look at the inside sidewall of each tire. If one looks wet...

Today I dropped the tank, removed the fake Walbro, and wired in an Aeromotive Stealth.

To my knowlesge, a Profec and the MAFT system don't share any territory. One shouldn't contradict what the other is trying to do. What do you have as far as injectors? You won't be able to top ~14psi without larger injectors.

PS- I found out that my Walbro wasn't actually a Walbro. Apparently, I fell for a fake Walbro on Ebay. Regardless, it ran like a champ!

Oh yeah- Here's the assembled product:

So today, I did indeed get into the fuel tank. Dropped it out, and started dealing with the fuel pump upgrade. Dirty tank: The pump hanger with the Walbro pump I installed about 8 yrs ago: Inside looks pretty good to me: Since I read that the Aeromotive Stealth pumps...

Thanks for that info!

I had read that some people were removing the relay entirely. Didn't know about that for sure. But with the resistor's body plug effectively bridged as I have it, I should get constant 12 volt to the pump, yes?

So...I started playing with the fuel resistor bypass mod, and I just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing: Here's the offending part, with the body harness connection that we need to bridge, right? So, I did this: And replaced the relay assembly with something...

I got all the tubing on Ebay, all 316. LOL...I've been keeping precise score on every dollar I spend on the car, broken down into systems... To date, the exhaust sytem(not including the welder/ supplies that I bought) has run about $1,100. That includes all tubing, elbows, flanges, clamps...

So, I finally got the time and motivation today, to tack up the rest of the exhaust. Went pretty smoothly, just took awhile to cut and test all the pieces. Once I was done, I threw the two sections in the truck and drove them down to the fabricators, to TIG up. Then I installed the...

I get it. :)

Building my exhaust.

I think spark blowout would cause the car to stutter/ backfire- Anyone else have this happen to them?

That rear carpet in the trunk is not like ours. US hatch floors sit higher- there is no lump in the carpet for the spare tire.

Awesome performance, man. After seeing your 5M oil pulley, I kinda wish I had known about it while building my motor. Seems like a solid swap option.

So, I'm sorry for lately not having the same fast & furious pace that I maintained during the engine assembly, but I'm starting to see some light at the end of the "drivetrain tunnel". Stage 2 is nearing its end. Once the exhaust is completed and the fuel pump rewire/Aeromotive install is done...

Very clean looking car. Lemme know if you find some extra brake ducts. :)

Shut up. (kidding)
