Oh, duh! You'll be cutting a rectangular hole in the bottom of the tank to weld this to correct? With the lines coming out toward the rear of the car?

So another $300 went to Jegs today.



Bought more fittings, E85 compliant hose, Fuelab 6 micron post-filter to supplement my Aeromotive 100 micron pre-filter.



I would say I spent right at $1000 on the fuel supply system, "pre-rail".









All on a car that hasn't driven since 2009.

If I didn't have 4 other project vehicles jump in front.....300zx, GK, F250, boat. But, to be honest, if I still had the Z or truck, I'd still be throwing my money at those before the Tib. They were super easy to make fast.

So, I was taking a look at Haltech's new Elite program to see how the ESP operates. It looks very nice and user friendly, however there's a bajillion more options in there than the E6k/e6x has and the nomenclature for a lot of the settings are different. So it will take a LOT of research to determine how to properly set up. Since I was confused, I looked at their manual (F1) which would normally translate all the settings for you, but found that half of it is INCOMPLETE! WTF? I guess they were in a hurry to release it, so they'll finish it up later?

Did you contact them about it?



I don't know how you guys can go without driving your cars for that length of time. I freak out when mine is down for more than a couple of weeks. Right now I'm stressing about finding a spare trans to throw in the car until the gearset gets completed...

Nope, didn't want to harass them when I'm not ready to buy. Besides, I'm sure they know darn well. Like I said, they were probably in a rush since the Elite was supposed to come out long ago.





I had other vehicles to keep me occupied. The z and truck were way more fun, and I still enjoy the boat on the weekends. I do remember having fun as it was an awesome sleeper.
