Old hose it 3yrs old. In my experience once a hose is removed from it's happy home it will leak at some stage in the future. Plus setting up the F6 for E85 so prefer a clean slate.

Nothing,

Why you ask?

Because Gates no longer recommend there 400 series hose for Unleaded fuel. This make it quite difficult to rehose my fuel system as I don't particularly want to spend a new fuel systems worth of $'s on 200 series hose and fittings.

Then I found a solution, Aeroquip now make a PULP/E85 compatible 400 series, "Sweet" I thought "I'll just duck and grab some"

No Dice state and national distributor is out of stock until the new year.

Plans to rehose and install the fuel system in the F6 out the window.

Perhaps I will spend me Christmas break drinking to excess instead.

Did you call chris mills. CMP.

Yup.

^x2 Rang them again as the bloke I spoke to on Sat didn't seem to fully understand what I was after.

Turns out they did have stock of the "new" hose so $150 later I have the hose and remaining fittings I need.

Still haven't actually done "anything" though. thanks for Prompting me to try again Double R Ron

Today I got the car up on stands and set out to do a few things.

I finally got around to fitting a new fuel filter after getting a flare nut spanner for the job, the filter I removed looks liked the factory one and so did the fuel that came out of it

Replaces the gearbox oil which came out pretty dark and dirty

Removed the turbo line filter assembly to realise the filters already gone

Fitted the snorkel back to the airbox

Recharged the battery after playing music all day and took it for a test drive, turbo cars love cool nights :)

Set ya back a fair slug for the soundy?

Very roughly,

$350 per amp x2

$100 per set of speakers x2

$150 for sub

$80 for LC2i (stupid thing popped)

And the part that always builds up quickly.... About $300 on various bits and pieces and around 25M of speaker wire, 6M of 4ag power, 2M of 4ag ground, fuses, terminals, mdf, connectors, etc etc.

Never really tallied it. But approx $1500

For me, its better than power mods.
