Those are the springs I'm getting, I just wish I could get a higher rear springs rate. I'm not going konis or bilstiens yet because within a year or two I'm going coilovers and haven't decided which one I want just yet, so ill take the cheaper route for now until I decide.
Its an autox car so until I start running nationally, I can get by with the blues. I've had the tokico gas-adjust for almost 5 years now and have had ok results, so the blues with my other mods will be an improvement.

My motor really needs to be freshened up with a little more power first. Hopefully I can get right around 250 to the wheels.

Yep. Probably gonna get started on cutting an access panel to it today. I hate dropping the tank so very much so this way I dont have to.

an air cutoff tool. It worked great with the exception of it draining my 20 gal tank after 30 sec lol. But it was a heck of alot better then the dremel.

On another note, my pump is probably still good, one the power wires came undone which is why it wasn't working. I haven't had a chance to re-solder yet but I'm 99.999999% percent sure that's what it is.
Also for anybody interested, autozone sells a pump that is the SVT focus pump under a different brand, at least that's what it appears to be, for right around 65 bucks. Its got the walboro case and all. Ill post a link tomorrow.

Car is running, the old pump is still good, just re-soldered the wires. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate soldering?
Anyway, heres the link for the replacement I bought though never used. I looks to be legit, possible thats its a core on the outside, but Ive read about others that have gotten it and it says the same so IDK.

And where I first found the tip
