Oh no, the wiring was just the last thing. The filters were definately clogged. You could pour gas into them and nothing would come out. After cleaning them they would flow fine (when I was using the Marren washable Stainless) and I replaced the pump @ DGRR '09 and still had the problem ( a little less but it was still there and the oldf RP sounded like a dying cat), it wasn't until I replaced the filter that it went away.

The Cosmo pump was definately weak, Amp tests confirmed that AND when the pressure started falling off on Sat it only fell off 1/4 of what it did.

So LITERALLY EVERY section of the fuel system from the the cap on the fender to the return line has either been replaced or cleaned or re-wired.

I told Dave back in April that we'd get this car done just in time for me to take her apart for the winter. I was dead on accurate on that

There are two Auto-x clubs in CT that I belong to. One puts me in SMA or Street Mod All and when I went to the second I didn't want to be in that class as it was populated entirely by STI's & Evo's completely decked out running race tires. So when I registered at the second one the conversation went like this

What car
'88 RX7
What have you done to it?
alot
like
like alot
sounds like CSP to me
ok


So that's what I compete in as well as the rookie class. Generally you run rookie till you win it. Seeing as how I made it to less than 10% of the events this year, I'll be back in rookie next year with a shot at winning it.
