Did you also change the fuel pump for an uprated one? Stock pumps have their limit with SC's...

The SC conversion was done by Hitec back in 2005, so I guess that they changed pump then.
At least I don't think that the car has been running with the original for 7 years... :)

I would check that, as uprating pumps was not a common practice with the early SC builds. Not expensive (search here) and easy to change as you already have the access hole.

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that, I thought that it always was changed due to the higher hp. I read somewhere that the standard fuel pump only could feed 200-something hp (at least not as much as 258 as I have)... I'll try to find out...

260-270-ish seems to be where the stock maxes out, but depends on age and a clogged filter will make things worse. My low mileage Stage 2 with 250HP still has the stock pump, but I measured my AFR's and they are good at max rpm.

Regarding the splitter, I must say that I don't have a clue.

It's nice to see some old pics of my car! :)
Do you know Thomas (the previous owner in Germany)?

I've met him once at the Nürburgring.

Have fun with your car,

greetings,

So, last week I changed the lower steering universal joint (from Eliseparts), the steering rack (quickrack from VX-Performance) and the gear knob (OMP Race).
Tonight I finished up with the Eliseparts removable steering wheel kit and the OMP Superquadro wheel.
With this, all work for the coming season is done. B)
