holy ****, all that money you could have had a triple disc carbon clutch

I used trevtec to install anything I couldn't do myself, I.e clutch and turbo back exhaust. There are plenty of people on here that will help you do everything else, just offer up some pizza/beer.

-mods, I haven't made the f/s post cuz I got three sick boys tonight, gimmie a few days-

also, I haven'tmade my f/s post yet but I have everything bolt on going up for sale from my x probably tomorrow, pm me if you would like some more info before I make the post.

Carlos, how does letting your fuel go below 1/4 tank damage your pump? Not trying to start anything, but I wanna hear this.

well im sure if you let it run low you run the risk of pumping straight air through that pump, and that cant be good. also im sure that the fuel that surrounds the pump will aid in keeping it cool. heat will ruin anything .

sure thing out of bad habit or pure lazyness, that i waited to fill up when it was that low... i did notice after doing this a couple of times that the pump whine got louder and my A/F gauge showed leaner .... so i asked around to some local folks and at different times. a couple of the guys pointed it out that the pump stay cool/happy when the fuel is at certain levels... well this sounded good enough to me . bought a new pump, replaced the one that i had and everything went back to where it was as far as my A/F ratios go. since then I try not wait to gas up when its that low.

I know people that run to the low fuel light frequently, for 125k miles with zero issue. Walbros are known to fail; I went through 3 of the 190lph pumps on my first DSM.

I know I don't any where near 200 miles a tank... But that's prolly how I drive...

Anyone know about how much Trevtec will charge to put in my clutch kit and flywheel?... Or a phone # for them?
