      The Hybrid Fuel Rail is sick, one of my favourite things on my car.

      Just make sure you use a proper fuel safe thread sealant on all fittings. Fuel leaks are bad

        I definitely can agree with you. As I said earlier, its literally becoming my life and working on it being my career!

        The hours are relentless, I couldnt agree with you more! Its amazing accomplishing a final product.

        You should get her into cars! Its addictive. Once she starts she wont stop!

          Thanks (:
          Yeah im picking up all the proper fittings from jdmyard within the week. Cant fit it until then! Also getting the gauge that mounts on the front of the rail.
          Connecting it to original fuel lines until I get a Hondata ECU and a tune!

            As Shaun says, get some fuel thread sealant. Its not 100% guarantee, however it will aid the fitting process. Keep in mind the gauage is tapered most likely and will get tighter and tighter once fitted to the fuel rail.

                      farr how long were you suspended for? yeah youre right about that gives me more time to work on the car and hopefully by then make a bulid thread when its completed. i still need get my manifold installed and throttle body upgrade then go for a tune with the krpo v3 i got sitting in my car fml and have my rotors changed, brake pads upgraded and braided brake lines installed then its DONE! im ready for the track haha. may need some tie rodds though after i pick up my rims this weekend (hopefully haha).

                        Nice Teg Tiana.

                        Been thinking of doing my bonnet in carbon wrap,
                        is it hard to apply such a large piece??

                          I lost my license for 3 months. Its so not worth it. Hence all the energy and time put into eventually tracking this car.. slow process but that's what happens when you're studying full time!

                          Sounds like a great plan. There's endless possibilities when it comes to engine mods. Be sure to keep me posted if you start any build threads!

                          It took me 3-4 hours and its merely impossible without a second person helping hold the wrap whilst you flatten it down with an applicator pad.

                          The nose dive has to be one of thee most complicated sections of the bonnets.
                          I found out theres a method with water. If I knew, I would've done it like that. Im presuming I did it the hard way.

                          Overall I definitely recommend you doing it if you have patience. The end result is absolutely awesome. Mind you, its cheap as well! If you buy the autotecnica brands wrap 1.52x1.52, you ultimately only pay $50.

                          I wish I knew about diy threads back then I would've posted one on wrapping bonnets!

                              Not a huge fan of camber kits. I dont know why. They definitely look great but I dont like the idea of wearing out tyres unevenly. The most I would do is stretched tyres, spacers and rolled guards if anything!

                                Camber actually helps the car handle better when taking a corner as you get more tyre to tarmac. Stretched tyres handles like crap. I would rather run camber and fit decent size tyres than run stretched tyres. I've ran stretched tyres on my te37 and they were re001 they didnt handle as well as i liked. Just my opinion anyway.
