New Decals - out with the old... in with the new.

After having the RS conversion, I needed to swap out my decals. Prior to the conversion I was running a Collins Performance CP320 ST map, and now I am running Revo RS stage 4 map. Anyway, new decals provided by Ellis Graphix, pictures below:

Inlet Manifold
Old CP decal...

...and the new Revo one. I moved the AutoSpecialists gel badge onto the ECU cover too. 

Rear Bumper (abover rear fogs)
Old CP decals...

...removed... left a bit of glue residue so out came the Autobrite JustTheTonic to clear the area. 

...and the new ones

Notice the new blog address decal above the rear diffuser.

Finally new decals placed on the bonnet.

Uprated Fuel Pump - to supplement RS Stage 4

NOTE: I have temporarily hidden all other posts from the past on this blog - a certain person seems to be using my blog as a "shopping list" to build his own car. STOP COPYING ME you unimaginative weirdo. I've left the RS Stage 4 conversion list for you to start saving your pennies. 



Back to BD Performance this week for their uprated fuel pump. Definitely not a DIY job, as the fuel tank has to come off to access the pump. The BD solution upgrades the actual pump inside of the ST housing so it reads correctly on the dash, something I was 100% adamant on. The pump comes with a new pick up filter too, the original was a little dirty after only 35,000 miles. The car now feels much smoother when driving around at lower revs, and coming back from BD down the A500 I can tell the car is certainly stronger for having it fitted especially higher in the rev range.

Couple of pictures:

Tank off...

...and pump removed, the housing disassembled, new pump installed and filter added...

...and getting put back into the tank.
