Got a few things ticked off the to-do list today thanks to some help from the stand-up guy that is Phil01.

Started off the day by pulling off the throttle body ready for Phil to work his magic on the spark plugs. Replaced the stock ones with some NGK BKR7EIX's which are either one or two steps cooler (cant remember now). Car started first time and ticked over exactly like normal.

Then I decided to tackle the fuel pump. Pulled out the back seats, unbolted the pump, pulled off the fuel line and......ooooooops. Petrol EVERYWHERE. Spent several hours after that dismantling the pump housing to install the new pump (and getting covered in more fuel). Started car..and after a bit of spluttering it idled and drove 100% fine.

Oh and I also sprayed the supercharger with high temp paint. Yes, Yes I know it would have looked better polished, but as I'm having the rest of the piping and brackets powdercoated flat black I thought it would be quite good to keep the theme with a matt silver S/C.

Cheers mate. Can't believe the hammy chose right then to keel over!

Hoping to have the S/C on in a few weeks time. Might have to be after the Mrs pops our baby out though as I don't want the car to be in bits when I have to do the hospital run :p

Any small bits I can do I will do tho Wink
