Neil69 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Did a little bit more tonight. Had to modify the rear calipers slightly as the handbrake cable bracket hit the strut. This is because the axle is.narrower than the ep82 one. Got the fuel tank ready to modify with a retrofit baffle and in tank pump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil69 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Did some more on Saturday. Took the standard tank and fitted my new injection pump and baffle. Bit tricky to line it up but got there in the end.Thats the unit. It came in kit form and you cut it to size and install the 255l ph walbro pump that is supplied.Standard tank with sender un bolted. I had to cut the monting ring off for that.Next was to mark the tank with the new sender moounting plateDrilled the holes around the new sender hole for mounting and then washed it out many times!!Luckily the 4 1/2 inch hole was big enough I was able to get my arm in to make sure all the swarf was gone.The unit fitted with hylomar to aid the sealing Also got the tyres put on the wheels so fitted the rear ones on. Also finished rear brake calipers and braided lines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil69 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Back on all fours for now very much lower than she was!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil69 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Tried to fit an ep82 front anti roll bar today as well but discovered the mounts are about an inch backwards. Not really sure it needs it anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 ah just as well i didn't try and fit it to mine then!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil69 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 ah just as well i didn't try and fit it to mine then!!Have u got an arb on your one or sway bar or nothing?? Think i will make some plates up to move mounting position forward to fit it if u think its needed. It will bring the mountong lower though dont know if that will affect it at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Well the coilovers on mine are really stiff, so much so its a bit of a bone shaker, but its setup for the track more than the road. So if you sit on the front corner, the car barely moves ha ha. Its this reason i wasnt really bothered about not fitting the ARB, purely because there is virtually no body roll anyway, so my lower arms i am guessing barely move.It seems to handle ok in the corners, although i do notice that the car has a tendency to just drift forwards when turning if you apply loads of power, but i think this is more to do with the front end wheel spinning and losing traction so it understeers. I am really curious to see what it goes like on the track around corners, could definitely do with some more grip on the front end, so i have got some sticky Yoko A048's to go on the thing.There is also no sway bar the cars front suspension layout aside from the coilovers is standard, I do have a lower arm bar on mine though to help stiffen the chassis up, have also got a top mount strut brace in the boot.I am just hoping the thing doesn't kill me on track ha ha, its a bit scary without a roll cage in!

I see ultra racing do a lower arm bar for ep70/72 so may ask td get one if they are different Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil69 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Finally got it mappedStandard ct9 @.9bar of boostIm quite happy with that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not a bad result. Need to get some more pics of this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clinternational Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 U got some nice work done! also the rims looks very cool. Didn't know taggy had a video for the rear brake unit.There are lot of options getting those ep82 disc's onto the rear axle to an ep70I also experienced longer handbrake cable,s as the distance from the ep82 axle is further away. The fueltank option is very very nice, Looks really clean. I've used an emptycan from plastic as removing the mounting ring was too much work for me. Frontsway bar from an EP70 Type S will fit. An ep82 won't fit nice or not good enough. Rear whiteline swaybar on the ep70 from an ep82 will fit. Check my thread for ideas. Also the rust spot at the door is normal haha....

Neil69 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Mot done yesterday and first drive in it to the mot. Real shame the weather is not good as it just spun up constantly. The brakes are good though. Get it cleaned up this week as its been in a dusty workshop now for nearly two years . Then I will put some more pics up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Love the wheels dude - tried hard to get some over here but were just too hard to come by. Ended up with some Work Equip 03's instead but still would love some 01's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil69 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just having a reread through this. Didn't mention it is now running Omex 600 not standard ecu.I made the loom up for it all. ecu inside the car. battery in the boot.I got a lower arm bar and strut brace from TD for it.

Neil69 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Taxed it today and went for its first proper blast.Really impressed with it. Bit smokey when letting off the power. I presume turbo seals are past their best. Engine and turbo are both unknown quantities really so to be expected I suppose.I did bottle it at 120mph though it felt a bit twitchy!!!
