50,000 mile club! =P

Hit 50,000 miles on my TII the other day! Still running like a champ. I get my fair share of electrical problems, wiring harnesses can't dodge time, but the motor is running strong as hell, I've not had a single problem with it yet. Just thought I'd share. For the last 6 months, owning a rotary has been an absolute pleasure, especially due to great guys/gals like everyone on this board. If he's reading, special thanks to Jer(JerryLH3) for convincing me that an FC3S was the way to go. I couldn't agree more now!

This should make you happy/nervous.

I just hit 90K on my TII. Engine and turbo are still in great shape. Fixed a fuel cut on left turns...but I did have to fork out some cash for a clutch @85 and a TPS @82...They are fun aren't they?!

Previous Owner installed a new TPS right before he sold me the car, and I have an ACT Stage 2 Clutch. Should be golden for a while, eh?

Here's what I did.

1. Move carpeting and insulation.
2. Traced and found fuel pump connector.
3. Unplugged FP while car was running, it ran for a few seconds and cut off.
4. Tried starting the car a few more times to get any possible fuel outa the lines.
5. Removed cover for fuel pump.
6. Removed left hose (to engine), it was pretty dry.
7. Removed right hose (this one is the fuel return and is full of gas...I found out the hard way, use vice grips to clamp down on the hose and then remove it...I can still smell gasoline after 2 showers )
8. Removed 8 small screws holding the FP to the tank.
9. Lifted, turned 90 degrees and removed from tank.
10. Remove small screw at base of pump that holds filter, bracket, and rubber thingy.
11. Removed rubber thingy.
12. Removed filter.
13. Cleaned filter with paint thinner. Rinsed in gasoline, and used a really small needle to go in between the mesh of the filter. Rinsed again. (Maybe this is why I smell like petrol chemicals today...)
14. Dried filter via compressed air.
15. Reassembled.
