Finally installed my bhr midpipe this morning. Took 2 trips to a fab shop but it's on. Once I put the front end back together I can take it for a spin.
Car just turned 109k. Got a call this morning to drop the car off nov. 8 for all four recalls and that will be out of the way! Adter driving a camry as a daily, i miss this thing so much i never wanna get out of it 😭

Just curious, why did you require a fab shop at all for a bolt-in part?
Scraped a nice gash in the passenger side aero flare pulling into a leafy driveway at night. Thankfully its only plastic. The owner of said driveway apparently thought it wise to place rocks to mark the edges of the driveway. Rocks become icebergs when you don't rake your leaves all autumn :/

Rear flange nuts were not centered. Rear hangar also sits super close to ppf, though hopefully there won't be enough movement during normal driving to cause frequent contact. If there is, just bending it slightly should do the trick. I had to take the front end apart for repairs from a collision that took place before I bought the car.
Took her to the dealership for the fuel pump recall.
Regretted it an hour later.
Will be without her for up to two weeks.....
Back story:
My fuel pump was new. Asked them not to swap the pump if not necessary. They failed the inspection because it was aftermarket, ripped it out (told me they can't put it back in), realized they don't have the casing for the new pump they were going to install, ordered the part but could take up to two weeks. Weep....

Reminds me of that poor blue S1 sitting on the floor jack in the dealership parking lot.
Last time I checked(when I saw that Spirit R RX-7, so like a week ago), it was STILL there. Wow.
Drove it to work today to drive out the Oklahoma 87 that's in the tank. Took one of my co-workers to lunch. She said, "What is that whirring sound?" Gave me a huge grin. Tried to explain spinning triangles vs. pistons. Got glazed over look. Maybe someday.

I've only got 33k miles on mine and 10k on a BHR fuel pump.
I don't have any leaks and really never drive in any extreme temp hot or cold.
The way to play this situation is to not do recall, but if you get leak later, there's a recall, and do it then, getting new pump.
It's not like the loose injectors problems of reinstalled engines that cause fires.
Most people can tell fuel is leaking under seat pretty quick.
Made it out to the atl clean culture event today, cars were decent. Definitely not a driver's event. My daughter and I had the only 8's there and there was one fd. I didn't even take one picture lol. I had a great time flying down the hwy though.
Finally got around to tearing down the original engine. I replaced it last year due to bad compression and because it was blowing oil out the vent line. Rear rotor side seal was the cause of all my problems...
That will do it What's the history of that engine? Was it raced? Daily driven? Mileage?
Today's adventures included installing MeisterR coilovers on my 8 and on a friend's NC Miata. 9K/6K springs. After 3 hours of driving city and highway at full soft, I'm pretty happy. At full soft they're comfortable, even a bit floaty. Damping experimentation to come. Worlds above the Koni/Eibach mistake I had on previously. Track testing will, unfortunately, have to wait until next year.

I picked up the car with about 30,000 miles on it. I think the previous owner babied it but i have no history on it. I put about 5,000 on it before I changed the engine. This was the worst damage to the iron.
