prob wait for bit more advise i dont want to be responsible for u taking the sump off but that would be my first port of call i cant see it causing anymore damage but you never no till u get into it i guess. i had my oil return snap twice on me both brand new toyota pipes aswell lucky i swaped out for a silicone return now seems far safer. -

urs is a forged jobby isnt it? only thing realy is to open it up and see the damage might be a case of getting crank reground and new bearings -
yea the prep work is going to be the hard part me thinks once thats done a little practise with paintgun and i think ill be fine. am in to rush to get it done so ill have plenty of time to get it exactly how i want

yea that was my way of thinking only place i can see the field harnesses now is td but its £150 for it so quite expensive realy

yea theres a fair few for sale atm most dont have field harness tho i suspect mine will hang around awhile cause most people rather cut there looms than pay extra for the harness.had a few stupid offers of like 400quid and some nice people offering me full price if i post it to like kenya lol

no kinda set figures driver ran like 260bhp on stock fuel pump. but obv if u upgrade it its always a benefit. the leads its probaly better just to upgrade them as the leads u have are likely to be a good couple years old anyway. 1. straight swap u just cut 2 wires and connect the 2 wires from the pump then attempt not to shit urself as u turn the key over for the first time 2. magnacores are the kinda main name ull see with leads but realy any uprated ones will be dam better than the oem ones think its heat range 8 for plugs am using atm but not 100%
