The external pump flows more than the internal pickup pump, so if the fuel was returned direct to tank, the swirlpot would empty. You return to swirlpot 1st to keep it full, then return the swirlpot to tank

Did you get them done somewhere or just break out the spray cans??

(Only asking as looking to redo the wheels on my Mondeo and trying to decide if I'm brave enough to have a go myself as they are worth paying someone to do!)

Looks much better than the gold did...

Just spent a good while reading this thread from start to finish. I have to say, christ C.J, I new you had a nice car but bloody hell!! Had no idea you were pushing that kind of power. It's really got me in the mood to start getting some more power out of mine. Good wright up too mate, i'm looking forward to seeing you get the 600bhp

Have managed to swing a deal for some coilovers from Peddars in oz so 6 weeks and the suspension goes hard will anything else !, plus have some 6mm ally coming in a 2mm ally 2mm plastic 2mm ally sandwich to remake the front splitter for free too what a good day
http://www.pedders.com.au/products/52

P.s. may be putting the 2.35 on hold for a year and doing the roll cage & flocked dash instead
