Thats a great present if you ask me

Ya, I'm really looking forward to putting them to work! It'll be a couple of months yet, the car is still in winter hibernation.

Spacers arrived today...

In case you're wondering what the spacers are for...

Got some FD rims for the track tires.

Strange thing happened today...

I was just cruising through town when the car started to hesitate as if it was running out of gas. I pulled over and it continued to sputter and surge when I tried to give it more throttle. Then it died. I shut off the ignition and then turned it back on. The newly installed (40 km ago) and noisy Walbro kicked in and primed the line. When it stopped I started the engine with no problem and it ran fine. No further issues for the rest of the drive home.
Any ideas what the cause may be...?

I changed the low pressure fuel filter when I installed the Walbro.

Got the FD rims painted instead of going the powdercoat route. I'm happy with the results...

This has happened to me a couple of times before. I just chalked it up to a possible temporary electrical glitch in my Haltech E6X or something, since the problem corrected when I turned the key off, and on. Are you running an aftermarket EMS?

Microtech LT10s. I did find the problem. It was my fuel pump. It wasn't properly seated in the housing. (forgot the little plastic retainer that holds the rubber washer thingy in place). It's okay tho', I can blame it on just having a seniors moment...
