So you never realize how much hp you lose with one particular issue, until you get it all back at once.
My car was left to rot for 2 years before I owned it. My gas tank apparently suffered a lot from that, because it killed the stock pump at 188,000 miles... then it killed the Walbro filter/pump @ 197,000 miles and just recently, destroyed the Aristo filter at 208,000 miles.
Anyway, took the tank down, cleaned it out as best I could, installed new filter and WOW what a difference! The car has a different personality now, one I don't remember it having before.
I can now take off in 1st gear, floor it, and a.) roast the tires b.) fishtail insanely down the road. (not talking about just dumping the clutch in 1st either, duh, I'm talking about flooring it from a roll already)
Yeah, never had a car that did that before and I'm sure it won't happen as much once I get new tires, but I'm really enjoying "feeling" fast right now. I fell in love with my car alllllll over again. I can't wait to re-dyno and see if there's any real difference or if it's all in my warped little mind :biglaugh:
Oh, and I also turned a local mk3 owner to the dark side (bc we have cookies). Drove him home and did the fishtail in 1st and he was loving it
I loves mah Supraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
