Hi everyone.
Been on the forum for a while and thought it might be time to detail the mods that have been done.
I overpaid for my 2.5i when I got it ( first car I bought from a dealer). Could have got a GT for the same price.
So ever since then I've been trying to transform the car while spending as little as possible and doing as much of the work myself that I could do.
Pretty much started not knowing much about the mechanics of a car. So it was a slow start.
Initially I just learned to service it, during one oil change I 'upgraded' to a magnetic oil drain plug haha.
So after that I gained momentum, I put in new plugs ( platinum and a new PCV.
Moving forward I begun one of the more significant upgrades, a Kido tune, followed by an aeromotive 340 fuel pump to support an eflex tune from Matt.
Keeping within my original plan of spending as little as possible I picked up the 340 from the forum for under $100 and the tune from Matt I consider a bargain since it came with free retunes.
Don't have a photo of the 340 but here is a photo of my fuel filter that was changed soon after going with e85.
I would say it was worth changing.
The fuel pump install was not hard, I did it on the street. Only issue was getting the o-rings correct. Initially I had pressure issues and the engine would stall. After reading the forum further I did some more modification to the fuel filter to seat the pump better and corrected my o-rings. Perfect ever since !
Continued in next post with a cosmetic mod.
