  1. Looking for a set of front arms for my GT. preferably minus bushes and in reasonable condition! Cheers
  2. Fitted my coilovers over the weekend. It didn't take too long surprisingly! even though the bolts seemed corroded someone was nice enough to grease them enough before so i didn't have to get out the 'bigger hammer'. On the height they came from the factory. I'm not too fussed about super low but i may go a tad a lower and be content. I just don't want it like my old DC2 which was a bit slammed. First pic is end result others are before and afters. Next up is Anti-lift kit and front arm poly bushes + fitting my anti roll bar when it arrives. I know the bushes are gonna be a total bitch to d
  3. Bought some parts just awaiting delivery! BC Coilovers Whiteline front ARB and drop links Whiteline Front Anti lift kit and all timing belt and other belt stuff Bonnet spacers So my wallets a lot lighter but it'll keep me busy when i stop my 60hour work weeks.
  4. Here's a few pics from the other day..... and yes i get asked a lot about my stupid window sticker. It'll either make you laugh or piss you off and that's what makes it fun! and you know... race car mentality. Hopefully buying some coilovers and a few suspension bits + timing belt stuff etc in the next few days. I've developed a noise which i think is a belt but it's doing my head in so gotta get that sorted ASAP.
  5. Vague progress: New lambda sensor New Coolant Tempt sensor This got rid of my fault codes and hard starting issues finally. The car just needs another tweak in the low end fuelling to get it running perfectly. Got rid of the bonnet scoop and replaced it with a perspex cover for now. I may blank it or replace with an N/A one. Tuning developments cooling panel for some engine bay 'bling'. I'm going to spray it. Sprayed my Strut brace Anodised purple, turned out surprisingly well! Car is currently off the road because i have a massive oil leak which i'm trying to source. I am almost positi
  6. Last weeks progress: -Got some new 430cc Injectors from Tuning Developments and threw them on mainly for peace of mind that i know they'll be running perfect. -New stainless steel down pipe which is actually attached to the bracket. Didn't notice until i got the old pipe off (which was split in half mind) that it wasn't attached so no wonder the bloody thing cracked. It was a shite bit of metal but after a few hours and 'bodging' i got it to fit well. No more Lambda sensor because my helping hand broke the old one. Not sure how it will affect the car since the cats empty anyway? - New PCV v
  7. Cool man, it'll be on my list of things to get sorted over the next week! First thing is to get it to start again haha!
  8. Now i'm in super frustration mode. Cars intermittently misfiring and not performing well at all. I've shat out my down pipe so that needs replaced Found a few oil leaks underneath, one from what looks like the gearbox and the other i haven't spotted yet. PCV is knackered and i think the ICV needs changed out as well.... So the plan just now is (whilst i get to cruise around in the parents Merc looking like a right twat) Uprated injectors, all new rocker cover gaskets + PCV valve and respray it all. Get my mechanic to help me out with the leaks Pretty much replace every belt, gasket, line
  9. Yeah? I hear so much about different oil viscosity's that i went with what i thought would be okay. I'm gonna change it out anyway so i'll give it a go!
  10. Hey guys, looking for reccomended places in edinburgh/surrounding areas I need someone to have a look over my EP82, check the map etc because the things running like shit. Overfuelling, misfiring randomly etc etc.... Totally died today. Need ASAP! Cheers
  11. Looking for a set of Cupholders for my GT Cheers
  12. So i bought my first Starlet after falling in love with it within about 2 seconds of seeing it. I'd never really been into Glanzas before but as soon as i soon this EP82 i snapped it up... and probably paid too much but shit happens eh. Current mods: Japspeed full exhaust + Decat pipe Aftermarket Mildsteel Manifold (not sure what make) Ported CT9 Turbo Front mount intercooler and some obscure piping (pics later) Baileys dump valve (hate it) Greddy PB ECU BBS wheels (not a clue what they are they're impossible to find) Replaced rear Boot cover thing (not a clue what you call it but there you
  13. Ah you're literally just behind my house then haha Might see you kicking about
  14. Well my car history so far is: EG, 05 WRX, UKDM DC2 and now the EP. They're all completely different... The WRX was far too 'safe' and got boring rather quickly but i love the boxer sound. So far nothing compares to the handling of the DC2. I had so much confidence in that car and knew i could throw it into any corner BUT i absolutely hate the slow wait for VTEC and it's not exactly the fastest car but still miles of fun. Now i'm on to this EP and i'm still on the fence.... mainly because i do nothing but spin in anything but perfectly dry conditions, cars too high and it basically just needs
