ok spent like three hours ******* with that leaking fuel line after like five different attempts of removing and reinstalling the hose ends and reversing the line I got pissed and decided to grab my mirror and look at the bottom of the fitting on the fuel pump come to find a nice size nick out of the end tapered 45 degree angel which I think is the part of the fitting that actually seals. So I'm gonna order a new -10 oring fitting and pray to god that this fixs it. But yeah I put on my new magnacor 8.5mm wires they look high quality, also just came home for the garage and my 3" corksport dp and poly front diff mount were here waiting to be opened both of which also look very high quality. I have a pick of the dp and mount I'll post up in a little I'll have more pix of the car when I fix this leak and put the uim back on. More tomorrow

just got off the phone w/ stage 1 performance a shop by my house about mating up my exhaust for me quoted me at ~250 bucks w/ all materials and labor. which includes cutting the 2 1/4in 1 peice exhaust dual exhaust i have, before the split to the mufflers and and welding in a 2.5in pipe from the split to mate up w/ my corksport 3in dp

i think that is legit w/ flanges, pipe, and welding required
