New seats fitted, just waiting on the harnesses to arrive.

looks mean dude, like it!

[doug2507]

Serves a purpose! [smilie=karls_thumb.gif] Pretty comfy seats as far as buckets go with decent width. 6.5kg each so probably saved about twice that from the std seats! First of three weight reducing mods planned. (excluding skipping breakfast... )

Rear seats &spare wheel, carpets, windows?

Carbon or fibreglass?

Seats blend right in [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

[doug2507]

Carbon rear, GRP front. Just wonder if the Fiberworx bonnets any good... Winter mod's anyway so a while off yet. Need to get the ground work done before the snow comes!

I think Oolix on here has something to do with them? Could be a pm for detailed shots etc?

Do not mention the s word ffs :boxing:

[doug2507]

You can't put off the inevitable!

[doug2507]

Back's totally buggered at the moment but got bored sitting about and thought some fresh air would be good. Took it nice and easy and replaced the fuel rail, fitted the fuel reg and removed the air assist valve.

AAV removed/blanked...(3/8 NPT bung fitted where the valve was).

(Couldn't find any suitable Jubilee clips, all too big or too small so used a pair of these instead...)








Old inj's...






New RDX 440's...






Rail fitted...





Reg. fitted...




Tomorrow, weather and back dependant... , i'll drain and remove the fuel tank for fitting the return line, fit the new pump and get the gauge cables through the bulkhead with the sandwich plate / sensors hooked up!

You'll need to set your fuel trim to 410cc for the RDX's in Kmanager

He's running an AEM ecu IIRC

[doug2507]

Cheers bud, they were fitted before the base map on the EMS 2 was done so just had them out today for fitting the rail. Sure they should be set at 410cc and not 440cc? Reminds me, i'll need to pull them out tomorrow and check the seals against the old ones to make sure they're big enough for a good seal.

[doug2507]

Anyone know a decent makeshift way of syphoning petrol out of the tank? Fed up burning my lips trying to get it going the old fashioned way!

[C2AXG]

Put a t-peice in the hose plug the end were it would normally come out with your finger suck through the teed in pipe then let go?
Or use a vacuum bleeder....

[Alex-B]

Easiest way i've removed petrol was disconnect the fuel line at the engine end, put it in petrol can and turn the engine over. Does flatten the battery quite quick but we got about 2.5 cans worth out in 5/10 mins.

[doug2507]

Think i'll just have to go get a pump. Need the tank completely empty, removed and vented for drilling a hole in it...

[C2AXG]

Man up just drill it full

Bit of advice though were goggles as I changed a fuel filter before and got it in my eyes a d ears and I screamed like a baby :bad-words:

[doug2507]

Haha, you're welcome to come round and try that yourself, cars insured. [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

[doug2507]

Found a suitable pump in the garage so emptying the tank will happen tomorrow, if there's any suitable hose!

To be honest i spent most of the day faffing about and drinking coffee as i just couldn't be arsed!

Did manage to get the fuel pump sorted out however and it's now ready to go back in. Fairly straight forward job and didn't take too long. Had some pic's from CPL to keep me right though! Everything from their fuel kit i've fitted so far has been excellent both in terms of quality and fitment. :thumbup:

Pump/housing being modded....















Only thing left to do is plumb the return line onto the tank making sure the line's secure then slot in the pressure gauge once a couple of fittings arrive.

Oh, and the most important job of the day..( )......got new posts from Skunk2 for the rocker cover washers to replace the one i snapped so thats now looking a bit better!
