Re: Build thread - My Latest EF Addition (lookie what came with!)
No,that's about the only thing that wasn't oem ish was that it lacked a drain-which I can live with...
Had a bit of seepage @ top of tank (had to tighten banjo bolt a hair more),and need to put teh lil cover back on after I wash teh filthy fker + buy another can of undercoating to touch up some "light spots" on new tank + cpl places on under body whilst @ it. (undercoated top 1st since was sitting on bottom,did bottom of tank as/after I put in back in) Taking a day or so break b4 starting oem big brake swap...

Re: Build thread - My Latest EF Addition (lookie what came with!)
Loving teh new fuel system! (cannot make it cut out now,even on long hard left turns!!!)
Finally found correct high pressure AC line for my "AC Re-installation" in muh collection of parts-gotta throw compressor on + then finally "clean up" ac/fan wiring. (guess I'll pick up 2nd mishimoto fan. 12" or maybe lil 10" one)
Trying to motivate self to blast/coat/cure oem big brake parts so I can do swap,Mo L8TRZ!

What you have done, good Sir, has put me in awe. This is exactly what I wish I could do with my car (91 ef hatch). Well, I have been, but not to the extent you are. I need more space and a dd if something is to go wrong haha. Mad props on the car though, and your motivation! Keep up the good work, there needs to be more "thorough" Honda people like you! haha

All sold seperately. Tank was 67.30 shipped (oem fit,but no drain), walbro gsl392 inline pumps average 100.00 ish w/ "kit" (foam pc + 2 clamps,some w/ barb fittings), had a "clean" used oem intank pump,installed new "sock" strainer filter (careful buying non-oem intank sock strainer filter,some will cause that "out of gas on corners" deal due to not being low down in tank enough like oem strainer sits-bought a bosch brand and it works-like 15.xx ish shipped iirc), SS line + AN fittings is where it starts costing $$$...
