Man after just basic stuff I have done to my car, it feels better. The brain dyno says HP , but I think I just want to "feel" it.

But I am happier and I am sure the max is happy.

fuel filter was a little harder than I hoped for, F'ing stuck bottom line, but still simple.

Don't forget to do the regular stuff, it will pay in the end.

I just had that done to my car and I agree. It sounds better and it seems just a little bit faster.

My Fuel filter was just awful. Do you have ABS? If not it is a bit easier but such a tight fit.

fuel filter removal is easier if the first thing you take off is the TOP part of the top hose, not where it connects to the fuel filter, but where it goes to the engine. its rather easily accessible if you move everything before the throttle body out of the way.. once you take off the top of the hose, the pressure gets released, and that hose comes off the fuel filter easily..

the bottom hose is a different story, you just gotta twist really really hard and be patient (and swear a lot)

The trick to those fuel lines is twist and twist, you guys should see the FMU that had 4 hoses to connect and I only disconnected 3. that was not cake.

Bags I was suppose to go to atlanta on the 3rd dont you know my Staff that goon ball is talking trash about not letting me go, that is ****ing me off, I may request MAST this is ridiculious is time for me to move out of there anyways. I will go to Ga though and I hope you guys are not in the field or at CAX I will be highly pist off and lonely no Max.org members to be with.

Trust me I might not be here but there are plenty of others and carl that will be. It really sucks when you can't take leave. WTI is calling my name about march 10th so I hope it works out and you can make it.

And 4 fuel lines.... hmmmm.... Give me the SC kit .... And you can have my 2 fuel lines and filter
