New fuel pump is in. What a PITA. Seriously. If it wasn't for the damn plastic 'lock ring' that holds the pump in, it would be so much easier. Instead, I had to buy a $20 tool that I most likely will never use again. Lame.

Anyway, it fired right up, and drove fine. I took it up through 3rd redlining every gear, and it seemed to keep up. Tomorrow, I am taking it to work, which will get the pump alot hotter, and then we will see if it has issues still.

Still crossing my fingers that I can take her to DGRRX.
