I picked up from BAT myself. I was making a business trip to the Tampa/Sarasota area & I just phoned a couple of days in advance. Nice people.

Since ian has me on ignore and some of the guys with more class would rather not cause any more fuss I'll take this opportunity to stop biting my tongue.
Remember the time when a fellow rennlister had a DE the following day and his throttle kept acting up. He was headed into a DE knowing his throttle linkage could kill him and others. One of our other fellow rennlisters said it will be ok, don't worry, just give yourself a little extra stopping room....Remember that?
This is kinda like that. You can increase the number of potential fail points in your fuel line by 4 fold and save yourself a couple hundred bucks or you could spring for the factory parts and trust decades of German engineering.
If it's a track only car then fine, cut and paste all you want, but if you are going to put that car on the road next to my kids I have a right to speak up. Some may even say I have a responsibility to speak up.

Remember? Yikes, I'm the first one to call BS on the reply that it "was OK", and I didn't hold back....I think I said something about that being "the worst advice I'd ever seen on the internet". Well, I had a PM from that poster within 5 minutes accusing me of "calling him out" (exact words) in public and that I was out of line. Needless to say, that made for some fun dialog between us on a Friday nite. I'm the first to admit I don't know it all, but I try not to advise people on stuff that may kill/harm themselves or others.
