Sorry the video above went black. The lighting wasn't good, so decided to delete it. Thing is, my GoPro isn't very suitable for filming indoors & the lighting in my garage could do with improvement. But now we've had a full two days without rain (Would you believe it!), here's some proper images of the new inboard fuel system. And some little Mazda sounds to go. Enjoy!

Noriaki's been tried, tested and successfully MoT'd today. Won't run a 100% until that Nikki has been replaced, but at least we can get some drives in (weather permitting) before our short, arctic classic car season ends.  :great:

Upgraded fuel system now appears to be working (fingers crossed). Only a proper test drive will show whether the new setup has solved the misfire/faltering or whether the cursed Nikki has more evil tricks stored up its nozzles. Fuel pressure regulator should improve the odds. Currently set at 4 psi and idle and revving sounding fine.

Also, got the temp gauge working again. So the dashboard refurb also covers dials and switches – everything works (bar the radio that has no speaker yet). 😅

Agree! I should have taken a pic or two of that interior. Once you get used to the giant surf board where the gear level should normally be, it is a nice driving environment. Only sad that in this day and age cars are primarily calibrated to take you for a drive, rather than the other way around...  ::)

How to:

Pump sits in the original mounting, but standing inside the boot instead of hanging behind the rear wheel. Drilled two additional holes in the fuel filter inspection lid to allow the out-going fuel line and the wires through respectively (see earlier post). The in-going fuel line goes through plate's existing clamp hole. Only marginal widening needed. Box is fastened on top of same inspection lid using longer bolts. Box should protect the assembly from potential loose objects in the boot area (did I hear baggage?). Since Facet pump is quite vocal, I added a bit of sound proofing. Changing filter or pump is now a matter of minutes, rather than hours, and inspection only requires the lifting of two lids.  ;)

OK while I am still not going to do the electric thing.

I have got to say I saw one in the dealers last week and with its suade interior it was the most luxurious interior I have ever seen
