not done a massive amount but a few wee bits and bobs,

first off i bought some F28 shortshift linkages with new bushes fitted.


Standard on the left, quckshift on the right

also i fitted a Bosch 044 fuel pump, i had bought a cradle for it but i left this off for now,

standard

Image

bosch item fitted

Image

good size difference in them

Image

since the last pics ive raised it , much better to drive now, need to sort the rear camber out now tho,

Looks mint, love the wheels on it :cool

Why don't you remove that manky old regulator thing from inbetween the pump and filter? Pretty sure its not needed and has probably seen better days, Mine went in the bin a long time ago.

lol it doesnt work very well then, the fuel pressure drops after a few hours, which i supose is better than having pressure on the pipes ect all the time.

Fuel pressure should remain, the pump should not return fuel and the injectors should hold pressure. Drop in pressure should be minimal.
