Went to the track a few days ago and after warming the car (1989 s13 redtop sr20det) up (track-only car, trailered out) and parking it, I saw that I was dripping fuel out the back.
Problem was the rubber fuel feed line to the hard line. Not the end of the world, and managed to fix it to salvage the rest of our short day, but I realize that the car is 25 years old and rubber stuff just isn't going to last...
so I am going to replace all of the rubber hoses and lines: water, fuel, vacuum.
Brakes and intake couplers are done.
Wanted to know 3 things:
A. Since it is a track car, simplicity > comfort/convenience. What lines can be eliminated/rerouted? for ex, I know there are a few coolant lines and hoses servicing the iac... do I need them running there for a track-only car?
B. Does anyone make a kit with all of the water hoses? fuel is obviously easy, and vacuum will just be buying bulk and replacing everything.
edit: I found some kits on ebay, but they are no-name stuff, and I want to get quality stuff that will last. any guidance on good kits?
C. Any other things I might overlook? Fuel filler hose perhaps, etc
forgive me if I missed any of this info in my searching.
