NightSpirit Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 As hopefully the current build stage is nearing completion...I thought I'd add the little monster. The whole build history can be found here http://www.night-spirit.co.uk/blogHere's where it all started, a fairly stock EP82 that belonged to a good friend of mine for over 6 years, the last 2 of which were spent in a garage lock up. I woke her from her sleep and drove her 230 miles to our home in Surrey...and yes, that's 2 years of dust in the first picture. The spec of the car in the beginning was Blitz SBC Type S, HKS FCD, Blitz filter, HKS SSQV, Blitz decat and Blitz NurSpec R.That was November 06, a lot has happened since then, culminating in the purchase of an ex Drag car from japan to use as an engine donor. The aim of the car was to showcase what you could achieve using parts from Yahoo in Japan and a bit of hard work, to create a very fast track/race car.The current spec reads something like this...Engine:Japan built 1.4ltr 4E-FTEHRF V300 TD05-16G with 18G exhaust housing and wheelHRF V300 downpipe - lagged with Thermal Logic Xtreme wrapHRF V300 tubular manifold - lagged with Thermal Logic Xtreme wrapBlitz wastegate with screamerGreddy VVC boost controller set at 1.4 barBlitz twin core front mount intercooler - lagged with heat wrapBlitz SUS filter mounted in front bumpoer - lagged with heat wrapSplitFire racing leadsApexi Power FCApexi N1 racing exhaust systemGreddy catch tank with K&N breatherOS Giken twin plate clutchOS Giken 9lb flywheelTRD engine mountsTRD oil capBuddy Club radiator capPAS and ancillaries removedAir con and ancillaries removed410cc x 4 Blitz injectors with resistor packRacing gearbox master cylinderGreddy oil cooler with relocatorBlitz fuel pumpSuspension and chassis:TRD coilovers front and rearTanabe front anti-roll barCusco front lower braceCusco front top braceCusco carbon fibre rear top braceCusco adjustable panhard rodBrakes, wheels and tyres:Wedsport TC05s 15" with Advan Neova D1 rubberOutlaw 2000 4 pot front calipersOutlaw 275 grooved front discsEndless NA-A pads on frontOutlaw braided brake lines frontOEM rear discsSard Type M rear padsGoodridge braided rear linesCusco master cylinder stopper5.1 racing fluidInterior:Fully stripped interiorSafety 21 7 point rollcageCustom flocked dashboardBattery relocated to bootSingle Cobra Carbon Fibre bucket seatScroth 5 point harnessFire extinguisherCustom centre panel for switchesMomo Course steering wheelGredddy shift knobSparco rally pedalsBlitz turbo timerGreddy EGT gaugeGreddy A/F gaugeGreddy boost gaugeGreddy water temp gaugeApexi EL Rev GaugeWindows sealed upExterior:Modified front bumperDolphin Aero carbon bonnet with release pinsDolphin Aero carbon front cannardsAsk Sport carbon GT mirrors with custom baseplatesStats:Weight: 760kg fully wetBHP: unknown1/4 mile: unknown0-60: unknownTop speed: 135mph (so far) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nick_p Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Awesome work mate, just been reading your blog for the last 40 mins and have to say, this is by far my most favorite project on the site Think im gonna strip mine out a little more now, and also where did you get that Saftey 21 rollcage from??, as a cage is high on my list of things to do.Keep up the good work man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Cheers again Yup we put the EP on a weigh bridge on sunday evening before I left and it came out to 760kg...Think the jump from the previous estimate of 775kg came from the tubi manifold and removal of PAS I think we should have an army of stripped out racer EP's I brought the cage over, can find you one if you like? drop me a PM.
