Fuel Pump mod for better efficiency?
Anyone read this article or tried this?

The mod is toward the bottom of the page, and I'm especially interested if this might work on an 04, and if it would up your gas mileage?

As a fellow 04 rx8 driver ... let me offer this advice .. just get it.
1. I don't stall out when I'm below 1/4 tank
2. no more spuddering when above 7k
3. car starts faster
4. happiness gained from piece of mind I won't get stuck
Now if only bhr had replacement filter sock thingees!

I was stalling out in hard left turns at the track. I haven't tracked the car in a long time so that didn't bother me. On long trips the car started stalling when the tank got low (pump over heating). That was a problem. It takes about 1-2 hours to remove, mod the assembly and reinstall.
