gonna fill up the tank tonight!!

In response to all of the picture heavy "I just washed my car" and "debadged trunk" threads, I decided that I need to start the most inane, brainless, picture-heavy thread I could think of. So here it is. I'll be posting before and after pics of the gas cap, door and fuel gauge so everyone knows what they look like (because you've never seen them before, right?) I'll also post before and after pics of the pump.

Wish me luck!!!

oh yeah, I'll be doing the "self serve" option. Even though this gas station has a "full serve" I think I can handle it myself.

I did this a few times before and the net gain was 0hp and 0tq over stock

Once I get the pics, do you think I cen get a mod to sticky it in "how to/ installations"

I'm havig second thoughts about the DIY, but it can't be any harder than porting and swapping my cylinder head, right?

I think you can handle it EBoy. I just did it myself and it was much easier than I thought.
Its amazing what you can do if you just give it a try!!!!!!!!!!!!!
