Fixing things

I decided to drop the tank in search to an answer in regards to my whole fuel starve issue I continue to come about whilst on the track. Sometimes it even happens on half tank, which isnt fun at all.. I was some what hoping the fuel pump was dangling off or something but nope, still secured the same as when I first installed for the B swap. However I had it resting on a black rubber thing you can see in the photo below, absolutely no idea why. So we scrapped that and extended the hose so the pump could sit at the bottom of the craddle. With this done I'm hoping it will help, doubt it but you never know. I'll have to wait to my next track day at the end of this month!

Once this was done I turned the car on to test drive, but then noticed coolant was leaking from somewhere on the radiator, oh yay.. So a little story, a while ago the passenger upper radiator bracket rubber actually fell out, decided it would rather not be in the car. I was never bothered to fix it so left it as is. Whats been happening is its been rubbing against the chassis for the headlight section, and what do you know we have a hole.. Lucky for me my mate can alloy weld so I took the radiator off to him to fix!

3 days later and I had the repaired radiator back from my mate. Happy with the outcome, and it no longer leaks woo! I also grinded back the chassis where it was rubbing on the radiator, now I have correct brackets/rubbers in it shouldn't touch the chassis, but I decided to grind it back anyways juuuust in case.. And spray some fresh black over the dirty radiator to stealth it some more.

Also I've had oil leaking from the vtec solenoid on track days after a long daay of thrashing so got a new genuine honda gasket kit for the vtec solenoid from my friend.
