WTB: Fuel pump, where?
I have a trip coming up in 3 weeks to Chicago from northeast Ohio. I noticed my fuel pump was loud some last summer and even a couple of times during the warmer weather, really when I drive the car hard too. Where is a good place to buy the stock fuel pump? I already did the filter like 6 months ago, so I don't need to do that, any suggestions on install? I know someone I know said that the fuel lines that connect to it were HARD to get off. Thanks

Drive till youre into Reserve fuel so that you can drain it all out easily. If youre planning on lots of go faster mods (or have some already) might as well upgrade to a High Flow pump. I got mine from Lindsey Racing. Its a Bosch unit, so everything fits as stock, except for the rubber pill that holds the stock pump (youll know what I mean when you see it) and the original hose clamp that holds the pump and the one for the pump inlet. Get some rubber padding to wrap around the pump as well.

It makes that "whir" sound. I know it is the pump because the FPR is newer, filter newer, injectors are fine. I only really notice it after driving the car hard and long, say a highway trip of 2 hours of more at higher speed, above 75 MPH, that is when I usually really notice it. Plus, as soon as I turn the motor off but still power to everything else, the sound stops. Turn the car back on, it is there.
