Just fitted my new Motorsport pump. Wahoo.

Didn't take to long apart from the fact that the place I first choose to put the earth was sh*t and although the relay energised the pump didn't prime. It took us a little while to realise what was wrong. DOH.

Anyway it's not that bad for noise, just a little bee noise which I hope to cure with some dymatt.

Also just got in after a very nice evening drive and arranged to order my new wheels through Broad. I can't wait until I get them, as mine have had it.

Next thing on my list is exhaust!! Oh and at some point LSD but I think I'll wait for that as I like how it handles. I know it's a bit lairy in the wet but it so much fun.

Did you change the loom as well? If not, you should.

Agreed, as i also think most of the benefits come from the loom being upgraded rather than the pump itself. Persomally i am thinking of going back to std pump with upgraded wiring rather than the motorsport one as it drives me mad

Yes, I did change the wiring. My mate knocked me up a lovely loom. It looks pretty tidy as the relay was put into a socket and all the connections else where were put together with spades. Ran the live feed from the starter motor.

The noise isn't that loud but I will be putting some dymatt in that section.

P.S. On the wheel front I have gone for the Compomotive MO's which are 6 kg lighter than my original wheel allegedlly.
