The metal rings to access the fuel tank were a real PITA. I had to soak each in WD40 and spent about 20-30 minutes per side with a socket and mallet getting them loose. Other than that, the job wasn't really that bad. Though, my hands are really agitated from being soaked in fuel all night.

Logs before and after regulator replacement:

Before:https://datazap.me/u/geirsenk/cold-s...1&data=4-14-15

After: https://datazap.me/u/geirsenk/cold-s...0&data=4-14-15

Note the rail pressure before cranking on both. Also, you can see the massive stuttering and how the car almost dies due to fuel starvation on the before log. I do see that there is a bit of oscillation on the after log, but I have yet to drive the car to let it adapt. I plan to do that this evening.

Told ya! good shet brotha.
