my care has been running really crappy lately. ive changed the fuel pump and filter and it still is run poorly.

anyway, ive noticed a leak in my engine bay (yes i know its not safe so i havent driven it in about 2 weeks). when i took my dad up the road about 100m away and drove back i looked under the hood and the leak was pretty big, there was fuel dripping out at a constant pace. i wiggled the hose around and the car stalled. when i turned the car back on it had the same symptoms as the car had in the past when running rough

the hose i am speaking about is the one which runs from the fuel filter to the manidold.

anyway i was wondering if fitting a braided fuel line will do anything? i have chopped about an inch off the standard hose and didnt find a leak so i dont know what it could be. i dont think the hose has any holes in it so i dont understand where the leak would be coming from

can anyone offer a suggestion?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
