| In areas where the brake lines don’t have to move on the other side of the chassis, hardlines are used. The marks on the fitting are check marks. When the fitting is tightened a mark is drawn so operators will know that it has been torqued down and checked. |
 |
| For accurate fuel pressure regulation an Aeromotive A1000 high flow return type fuel pressure regulator is used. Having the regulator up front can help reduce the likelihood of vapor lock under extreme heat soak conditions that drift cars operate under. The thing on the regulator is a pressure sensor for the data logging system. |

| The drysump system plumbed with Earl’s lines and fitting. The lines will be covered and insulated from the heat of the headers later. |

| Plumbing a car is tedious work but it has to be done right. |
 |
| Putting lines to the rear mounted dry sump tank requires shielding of not just the tank but the lines as well to comply with Formula D rules. |
 |
| Some of the tin work that covers the fuel lines is being fabricated. GTI’s trick seat mounts attach to the roll cage. This is better in a severe crash because the belt anchors won’t distort as the car bends, crushing the driver. More GTI attention to detail. |
In our next segment we will look at wiring and get a closer look at the completed car.
