Got it all plumbed up. What a pain in the butt. All sorted now though. Last little question, do I need to run the factory fuel regulator somewhere in the system? Not the one on the injector rail but the one next to the ext pump?

Bahahhahaha

I had an interview with Ardmore about a month ago to see what it would be like. Cost is around $90k. I left after that.

That's what Ithought.

^^YEs... why?

Just got back, got a bit done today but was helping a mate put in a windscreen so got a little sidetracked. Welded up all the bracing for the drop tank to go on, the lifter plate for the surge tank and folded some alloy sheet for the pumps to mount on to. Finished the new boot floor, Got a quick lick of paint on the inside of the boot and will seal underneath once the lines are all run. Also going to retro fit a very retro old school sender unit into the pump and callibrate it to recognize my gauge. Was pretty difficult when all the instructions were imperial. Sorted it though and it seems to be doing the trick. Can anyone suggest where the breather from the tank would go? Can I use the factory setup? Note the time again... ahhh

I see will just stick to original plan. Have cut the fittings off the tanks and welded me some of the old nipple's that were on the BMW tanks. Recycling FTW

Ah also, Heath. Your idea seemed to not work. Am totally sure it is becuase I can't be bothered cleaning all the sh*t off the tunnel for it to stick to. So will use the tape elsewhere and make an alloy one

So today I spent just under $500 on AN fittings, fuel lines, filters etc. Which sucked, a whole lot. One would assume that the people that make the pumps/tanks/lines etc just put stupid fkn sized threads on to get you back to buy the reducers etc. Cheapest local place BTW was GSS. Anywho, have pics which I will upload tommorow. Basically, have cut the spare wheel hole out and put in a flat plate to cover it. Taken all the factory fuel system out, which would weigh atleast 3 times the new setup (dry) , made up some badass mounts for the pumps out of alloy and reinforced/ raised the section where the surge tank will be sitting. Ran out of welding wire so stopped there. Have been looking at ways of running the return line back to the drop tank from the surge tank. Would it be best to have it at an even height to the drop tank so it can just trickle in and have bugger all pressure behind it? Also, what are the regs re: the fuel breather from the drop tank? Can I tap into the factory one? Dave!? All going to plan I should have the fuel setup done tommorow night and will then be waiting for the motor to come back from the motor making fella.

Kit keen. PM me. your inbox is full. Have cash.

Damn, car should be ready. I'll be in floodlands though..

Sorted. Thanks matt

Hey mate do you live in albany? Think I seen you driving around before.

^^ Yeah, hate when that happens.

^word

Would preffer to not put another f'd one in

I need one. to suit facelift m20. Cheap would be good.

Have your sorted the long range tank? I have all the parts. Ring me!

When pulling the gears out, should it be in a certain gear? I had it in neutral and it now seems stuck in between 2 gears. Can't get the f'n thing out at all. Have tried everything with the selector and it will not work. Anyone else pulled one apart before?

Just back from the workshop. Face is pretty burnt. Have fab'd up most of the brackets for the drop tank and swirl pot. Also started pulling the old tanks and lines out. What a huge difference in weight! Anyways, what are the rules re: rear firewall? Does the top of the parcel tray need a cover? Or the whole rear seat bit too? Also, pulled my 260 apart to try and repair it. Spent way too long on it, think I have figured out what is wrong, the main bearing on the output shaft is buggered. So will get a new one tommorow and will order a new set of synchros for 2nd 3rd and 4th. Note the time. bitches.

All of the above.

Talk about good advertising, every 15 year old kid is going to want one of these. Think that's why they started whining about it AFTER xmas? Would really like to have a go on one... not for $500 though.

Hopefully in the next couple weeks or so... funds are pwning me at the moment.Still need to run lines etc. Which reminds me, how would one go about plumbing in the breather for the drop tank?

Yeah was looking into some sort of heat sheild in there too. Just the 2 inch type stuff?

^Word. I have already spent over 2 grand on parts around the motor and still got atleast another 2g on the 2.8 to pay. So would say it would cost you 4k atleast. I have done everything myself though, bar putting the bottom end together which Ray has organized. So to answer your question, save atleast 4k before you get started... or buy parts as they pop up. But that is what it is going to cost you.
