Re: Finally bought one of my dream cars...

Btw Alan, this page seems to best describe the Evo X fuel pump relay issue (has some great pics of the bad relay and the updated relays that followed from Mitsu):

http://www.ziptiedynowerks.com/tech/...el-pump-relay/

I checked the part # of the fuel pump relay in my 2013 GSR, and it did indeed come with the bad relay that has the tendency to fail. I ordered the latest recommended OEM relay tonight P/N MR122409.

I have the Sight & Sound package which gets the RF audio along with HID's!
i found some good EQ settings somewhere - i'll try to find them for you. find car i've ever owned where i didn't rip out the stock HU and speakers. i think it sounds great with the EQ tweaked right.

Btw, I installed my first mod today - zip-tied fuel pressure regulator hose!
its the other end that usually pops off - zip that, too! .. ^--- here

Re: Finally bought one of my dream cars...

I'll add the replacement of those other relays to my to-do list down the road, but from my research, the fuel pump relay was the one to do immediately.

Feel free to send me those EQ settings, but honestly, this is the best factory stereo I've ever experienced, so it sounds hella awesome already!

I'll zip that other end in a jiffy. Weird, in the three threads I found where people talked about the fuel pressure regulator hose popping off, the end I zip tied was the side that people said popped off??? I guess it's possible for it to pop off on either end...

actually, i think your unit may be slightly different, so nevermind.

if you pull off the lower part of the hose, you'll see that its slipped over a smooth vertical tube - nothing to keep it in place.

Alan, I went to your home page and it says this;
"Landshark has not made any friends yet"




That is so sad...
Can I be your friend?

Here's a pic I snapped of my 2013 fuse box:



My MFI relay (big grey relay) is made by Omron and is the updated version. I have the Omron fuel pump relay on order. So I'll only need to order three more updated black relays to complete the update. I covered the most important one, while the others are more of an inconvenience if they go bad.

I also have a bone stock 2013 GSR with a 5yr/60K warranty - so I'm covered should something go wrong with the car before I replace the other relays.

Makes sense - I zip tied the lower end of the hose today. So I'm all good now!

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...**** you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

Alan, my Omron fuel pump relay arrived today and it's now installed in the fuse box. Good peace of mind!

yeah it is!

what about road salt where your at? i would do something to the AYC/ACD pump anyways - it still gets wet even if no salt - hit it with some type of anti-corrosion spray of some sort at the very least. if that pump goes, BIG $$$.

i have to change my SST tranny fluid. 2 gallons of fluid ($150 each) and a filter ($150) .... if i do it myself!!!!
