just noticed this;

Were the top you guys the secret rebellious types at toyota...they have they're tie off to the side.. ...while the bottom two have their tie's regulation straight down the front.

Well if I had a translator Id ask them;

Why the Hell did you lot skimp on the rear axle......it should be Independent rear suspension you fools....... other than that sh*t hot car

Thanx Phil

Yeah I didn't want to charge too high a price as I felt tat would be more harm than good selling them.

man that's pathetic on the part of your company,

Your's obivously interested in what your doing and are now being held back by this fool.

Your company need to take their collective heads out of the sand and give this guy the sack on grounds of his unsuitability for the job (ie his dangerous work practices)

cheers bud, really appreciate that.

at the mo i am pure skint, thanks to crimbo, the mrs's b'day, the dent to the car and I've booked a skiin holiday in Jan tonight, so it'll be a while before i can afford one of your goodies!

Keep up the great work man!

Phil.

Not a bother man.

Don't talk to me about being skint, I went to London at the start of the month with the girlfriend and im as poor as can be now, If it weren't for that Id have my Defi gauges for the EP now.

Well whenever you want one even in a few months give me a shout.

Nic

fan-freakin-tastic matey!!!!!!!!

thats well tasty, very handy in the DIY dept are u!!!!!!!!! a matt black finish would be sexual!

Phil.

Cheers Phil I knew you would appreciate it..and yeah I think that matt black is the way forward finish wise for me...

If your interested check out the for sale threadand Ill get started making you one.....

Also Ive been checking out your thread, loving the look of your EP dude..sexual...

Idrees.

Those are two of the most beautiful EP's I've ever seen, You have incredible skill with a spray gun and should be well proud of your work.

Nic

Awsome work mate!! Rep indeed!!

I agree it should be done in Black

Thanx Sparky, I just wana make a few changes to the design and then I will paint it matt black and happy days after that...

Excellent work Nick.

Im glad you were able to make something out of those dimensions you took before.

I'd certainly like one if you are willing to make them. Are they quite time consuming to make?

Joz

Thanx Joz, I know it was a long time getting to this point.

In a word Yes, this was time consuming to make, it took a fair bit of careful marking and measuring to first lay the design out on the sheet metal, then cutting it out and finishing and forming so on.....

Please check my for sale thread for more information on getting one of these lush panels.

cant wait to see the mani photos joz, that exhaust looks tasty as hell,

How many beans?

Am good question mate....

Well Im not entirely sure, Im going to set up a for sale thread in a while and we can talk more about it in there.

Thanx Si, Ive been after one of these since the group buy collapsed so I decided to produce mine own.

Now that I have this one made and fitted I am going to change the design a little just to make the panel look a little sweeter (not any major changes just looks wise), If not for those who may wish to buy one then for my own good.

that looks like a sweet exhaust man,

Id be tempted to invest in one of those myself but like you I cant decide which would be best suited to my needs

It would look much better amigo...go with the colour theme too

It would indeed mate,

And I will probably end up painting it matt black after a while

but I just left it as bare metal for now as I wanted people to get an idea of how it looks

10/10 mate i like it alot......BUT it draws all the attention away from the bay maybe a lick of paint? matt black?

I do agree wit you that it does take sum of the attention away from the engine bay effectively..

I had also considered matt black.......

N/A Cooling Panel update

Well I've been fairly busy with work lately so its taken its time for me to develop and fabricate this.

I have as of this evening just my very own N/A cooling panel.

Its been made out of 1.5mm thick aluminum and has a very fine brushed finish on it.

I must say that, im very happy with the overall design and result and would like people's opinions on this...

Here are the pics of it

Opinions welcome from all...

Also if anyone is interested I may fabricate a few more of these........

It shouldn't make any difference the ep82 won't weigh anything more at the back I doubt, at the front its maybe slightly heavier but still wouldn't make much difference.

I'll be disappointed if the koni's have started leaking because I was thinking about getting a set instead of my cusco coilovers, how was the ride on them before this?

well i did the bounce test and there's little to no bounce at the rear, well none I can see anyway.

also the ride quality was always good in them but the change in ride quality could be down to the tire pressure im using (I've set tire pressure a good bit higher to see what difference it would make to the car), I mite rip out the rear's and adjust them alittle softer to see if it improves things.

well the springs are tein brand and aprox 24 months old, also I believe that when I fitted them the box was marked for the ep82 gt turbo would this have affected the ride height, with the ep82 difference in ride height.

I will check for any bounce in the shocks this evening.

thanx for that tip wallace

ya nuthing looks obivously buggered to me.

If the rear koni's were the only buggered one would it cause the rear to drop like it has?

you see I want to fit my ALK and ARB this week and change a lower ball joint and track rod end and I though that now would be the best time to fit this problem.

hey everyone

lately when ive the starlet parked up and you look at it from the side, it appears that the rear is sitting slightly lower then the front. now the difference isn't much but its enough to bug me.

So I basically want your opinions on what could be the cause of this happeing?

here's what I though of so far

Buggered rear shocks (these are 3 year old koni's)

sagging rear springs

also as a side note my ride quality has gotten a bit poorer lately could this be anything to do with it

Thanx in advance for any help

Nicholas

hey dude

sorry to hear the bad news, at least u may be able to fix it.

I believe that they should be fitted underneath the radiators brackets.

While I don't have one fitted ...yet well thats my guess anyway

I qualified as an architectural technician in may, just when the construction industry was going bust here in Ireland.

Now I work as a trainee manager in a shop, thanx to having experience in retail while in college and school for the last 6 years.

hey dude
