Didn't know they had a fuel pump upgrade... that's cool. What made you decide to get that? I thought the only time the fuel pump was problematic was basically when you were doing rather extreme cornering.

Well, they technically don't, it's a special order. The fuel pump issue is a concern on the track but I have over 100,000 on my pump and a pump going bad or a failing fuel injector can be death for our motor so considering the motor is new and I have no warranty, I am trying to get to everything before it has a chance to break. So I am going to do the injectors and pump now.

That is about what I paid for a new pump assembly with the upgraded Walbro pump in it and removal tool core charge.

Yeah I can but Grungepup has it (has for a long time) already and he has the smoked one which looks great on his SS. The lighting difference is major as well. My factory one is out so I figure its time to install this bish.

There were some complaints of quality with it but Grungepups looks good after the years and lights up great (oh **** I just jinxed him).

Gotcha, I have LED's in all my tail lights including a rear fog light, so if the word on the product is good I might get one to complete the set

They all appear to be of the same brand and the only thing Grungepup says to do is to not use the rubber grommet that comes with it and take the one off the factory light because the they provide is too stiff. I am going to try and use the one provided but I'm gonna heat it up with a heat gun first, so we will see.

What LED's are you running for your rears? Also, so do you think clear or red?

If I had a VR I would get the red one. For WB I would get clear. I have a feeling if I installed this it would trip the ABS/whatever other lights and I would need to install a resistor back there.

My LED's are all from VLed's and for the 7443 brake lights I am running the star pattern ones that Pico has.

My tail lights probably get more compliments than the rest of the car

Funny, Grunge tried the star LED's and they fucked everything up. He didn't cut to install this, he says to use alligator clips so you can go back to stock easily.

Hey 9k I like the red better. Air power FTW~!

How hard do you think it would be to install LEDs in the pattern of the Mazda symbol on my head liner?

With the actual LED poking through the headliner? That would be original.
