Ah... So we can see if there's a restriction somewhere along the line back to the pump? Good thinking.

I've bought a stock FPR, but didn't see much point in putting one on until I have a gauge that can read the fuel pressure... otherwise I might not know if the problem still remains. But it's in my bag of tricks and ready to go on the car. I've got an HKS one to try too.

Yes, that's exactly how I'm measuring the fuel pressure! However, I have tried two different gauges now (both different makes and both behaving the same), and when Ryan was mapping it, he had to constantly add more and more fuel as the car got hotter, which he attributed to a continuing drop in fuel pressure. So it doesn't look as if the gauge is lying. While I'd love to fit a gauge costing hundreds like you told me too, alas I don't have the money. But I'm going to get a gauge in the dash, tapped into the fuel line at the back of the fuel rail. I'm presuming that will not be affected by temperature in the same way, since the gauge is in the dash.

Okay, thanks for that idea. Something for me to add to the todo list. The car spent a day with Mark and Matt Harwood at Phoenix today. Alas, the problem still remains. Mark's initial suspicion was that a hose attached to the pump might be leaking fuel. He was pleased to see that this was in fact the case: there's a short fuel hose attached to the pump which appears to have an inner and an outer sleeve. Apparently, when testing, this tube was p1ssing fuel all over the place. He replaced this hose, and they switched the fuel pump to be on 12V permanently. But on driving the car, the problem still remains. The FPR loses over 10psi in pressure while driving, and this appears to be (although still not proven) as a result of it getting hotter. There are no wiring issues and the voltage checks were fine. Matt and Paul think that I may have been unfortunate enough to have replaced my fuel pump with a malfunctioning new unit. Given my luck, this wouldn't surprise me. So, I'll order yet another fuel pump and hope that that's the answer to my problems. I'll also be spending some more money I don't have on an in-cabin fuel gauge, to help with the diagnosis process. On a side note, it turns out that the RLTC I bought a month back isn't quite working properly, but Matt thinks he might be able to resolve this easily enough. (This has no bearing on the FPR problems; I've had the RLTC turned off as it makes the car misfire all the time!)

Thanks for the ideas. I'll get Mark to look into it tomorrow. Yes, I've changed the filter, pump, FPR and hoses.

I've never even heard of a fuel pump pulsation dampener!

Indeed, thank you! By the end of the week, I'm hoping it will look and go great! That's if I can actually source any Eagle F1s for it. They're prooving to be a bit of a problem.

The car is going in to Phoenix tomorrow, where Mark and Matt H will be taking a good look at it. So after tomorrow, this will hopefully be resolved and I can finally drive my car the way it was meant to be driven.

Or just copy and paste, my friend.

There's another group buy on... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=136313.

This of any use? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=136313

Then I'm in! I doubt my guy would get anywhere near that price. TrickTT, will you be starting up another thread then?

Sorry, I've only just found that out! (I guess I should have read the instructions first...) I've already PMd Homer, but since you've already come along, feel free to say Yay or Nay, or whatever!

Oh, okay. Thanks for the tips. Didn't realise it was a trader thing. I did notice that the previous group buy was cheaper, but I also got the impression it was not cost effective, which is why no one else seems willing to take up the mantle and do another one. (I know enough people have asked for one.) Will get onto the mods now...

Feel free to ignore this thread and go here. Hi guys A local handyman has agreed to make me a pair of front speaker mounts according to the template here. I'm just brokering with him the idea of doing these in bulk, as I know there's a lot of demand on here for them and a lot of people (like me) who dont have the tools, skill, or maybe not the time, to do this themselves. I'm not sure what the price will be, but I suspect they will be over £40 a pair to make these worthwhile. I'm just trying to gauge interest at this stage, in order to tell my handyman how many he might have to do. If you are interested, could you please put your name on the list... 1. Dash Rendar

Hey, tooquicktoostop, have you tried contacted Nic? I got a quote for these brand new off Nic about three months ago, and it came to a little over £1300, including air freight. However, the centre caps would set you back about £80, and the black chrome nuts another £80. (I think they look better without the caps.) If you're willing to wait a few weeks, then it's not as if you've missed a major bargain.

I use oneandone.co.uk for webhosting. I use a Business Pro package for my sites, but they also do a 'Beginner' package for only £1.99 a month! It includes 250MB of webspace, allows 3GB of data transfer a month, includes mailboxes and antivirus features. But if you do it now, they're giving 50% off. You can't do much better than all than for £1 a month! There are various other packages. The Home package gives you various other stuff like MySQL too. Do me a favour... use this link as I should get a referral fee: http://www.1and1.co.uk/?k_id=5676403. (Not that it's ever worked before.)

I had one of these in my last Supra. In fact, I think it was the best single purchase I ever made. (Also from Nic.) To tide you over until you get your pics up, this is what it looked like in my car... http://supra.just2good.co.uk/myBpuSupra/images/stick.jpg

I met a nice fella called Simon today at the fuel station in Warfield. I think it was a black Supra... difficult to tell with all that dirt! In typical fashion, on the rare occasion I see another Supra driver, I'm in the wrong car.

Soooo funny. Thank you!
