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.

 

Why not get the bilesteins now and get the mm coil over conversion later?

 

That's what I did on my '00. It's still sitting out front under a cover, just waiting for the day

 

I fairly certain I want to go double adjustable Koni Yellows with Griggs coil overs. The blues are really just to get me through the next year or so then Ill put them and the springs on my 95GT. Im just not in a position right now to spend 3K on Koni's and coilovers.

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

 

Understandable!

 

Fuel pump decided to crap out the other night on my way home.

Needless to say, I'm super excited about it.

 

Always fun

 

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.

 

good idea. are you replacing with oe or aftermarket?

 

Same thing I have now. SVT Focus pump.

 

Access panel cut

 

what did you use to cut the panel?

 

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.

 

Pretty cool. Probably going to make it much easier, but don't you think it will cause you to hear more road noise?

 

Maybe you can make some kind of latch system so the floor piece is still there but can be lifted. The put a little bit of sound deader around it..

 

There's so much noise anyway without back seats, that it probably wouldn't make a difference. Its only staying open temporarily.

I plan on going to the junkyard and cutting a piece to cover the whole, probably the whole section and use some screws to attach it. That way if this happens, pop out a few screws and your good to go.


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.

Went to the junkyard yesterday and picked me up a Windstar intake

Hope to start getting it on the car next weekend

 

Nice!

I've seen a handful of turbo 3.8s using that intake. hint hint

 

Not with this car, its my autox car and I want to stay in ESP. But the wheels have been spinning on another build in the future. Can we say s/c 4.3L stroker
