In the last week or so, it cranks for 2-3 seconds before starting whereas it used to start immediately. I installed a new starter 6 months ago as you all may recall. I also installed a K&N fuel filter 10 month ago. No issues until last week.

Research online and on FRRAX is pointing to a fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. Or the battery. Or the spark plugs.

Car runs super fine once started and starts right up once it has been running. If it sits 6+ hours, it'll revert to needing extra time.

Suggestions?

That's a tell tale for a fuel pump. Get a gauge on it and see what the pressure is on the day's first key-on.

Damn. They're a bitch to change, right?

Guess this is a good time to learn about the "trap door" approach, yes?

If this turns out to be the case, isn't this the suggested upgrade?

Trap door is fine for racecar, but on cars that will see street use the value of (or at least the demand for) the car can be significantly reduced by cutting the hole.

I think an autocrosser would buy it if I were to sell it someday. The previous (original) owner told me at least a dozen times that it had an "autocross patina" to it. It's no show car.
