Aye, I did think that. There is another reason why I wanted fibre glass tail gate over a metal one.

Alright cheers mate I think this and a ducktail spoiler to my list of things to buy! Cheers mate.

Would it not be possible to fit the orignal glass window back in? Also that link, for me, goes straight to the EP91.

Iddy these still for sale. When I went to have a look it was only for 91 Also did you sort the rear window out.

Yeah check back tomorrow. Approval takes a while

Yeah, I do have a build thread for the car on another forum that I moderate on. When it's substantial I will transfer it over, but you're more than welcome to reminise about your car on it here: http://dt125r.activeboard.com/t59212591/the-icarus-project-4efte/ It's quite a bit of work since I've bought it. Unfortunately there were a lot of things that needed to go. I think the last owner just neglected it for a few years but unless anything changes for the meanwhile I'll take good care of it.

Lol. I know it's running forged internals, but no idea what components. Arp rod bolts and look like scat rods. I was amazed did you drive to Germany in this thing lmao! It was funny reading back through your posts about this car. Just the little adventures it brought you is ace. No sad to say mate this car is in dire need for body work. I've been working on the car bit by bit just sorting out all the problems. Am a far way away from how I want this car to look. But you got to give this thing some credit, it's had a hard life and it is still going strong I said when I bought this car that

Well they're two 660cc engines, so why would they be 2.7 Litres. Anyway thanks for clarifying. He currently has an Evo 5 It's nice, but I think I prefer yours Looking very swish!

Very nice mate I love those RX7's, will get one one day, just out of interest, what did it say on the log book about its displacement. My mate said to me that due to their power figures they're down as a 2.7 despite being a 1.3

Good lad. You clearly know your stuff having sorted this out so quick. Aye if you want me to test that sql theory of yours I can. Qualified penetration tester ain't I mush???? Jokes. Nah I'm sure it's secure.

My only slight concern and why I wouldn't participate, is entering in the VIN. I'd do everything except the VIN. Happy to submit the last 5 digits etc. How can I be sure that your server what be compromised by a simple buffer overflow or sql injection etc... Maybe I'm just paranoid. But I love this idea, but don't want to submit a full VIN. My dad has been in the position of having his VIN plate used on one of his cars before and he had to contest against it.

That's a nice conversion there. That engine looks lovely in that bay. I'd say that would be worth the money. I've seen rotten minis sell for 4K. So 10K for a mint example, that actually uses a decent, Jap, engine. Worth it al day lol

This was discussed previously, it's all relative. It's expensive when I paid £1600 for a GT Turbo, but when you pay £30K plus for your R34 GTR....it's not that much indeed

Amazing how these cars move all round the country lol

Yeah mate, the best ones are ALWAYS further afield. The difference in price/condition you can get from a little bit of travelling is amazing. I travely to High Wycombe to get mine, utter garbage! Me and my brother went to Ireland for his, SWEET MOTOR! It's well worth buying that right motor than ending up with one like mine Mine is running now and it is a lovely car to drive. Very classic

Just read through your posts on TGTT. Damn that was one fine EP when you first bought it. Sorry but I wasn't really a fan of any of the modifications you done to it. Butchered the front bumper, GASH MR2 Alloys that had been rattle canned and the colour of the rocker cover. To be fair though it was probably alright when you had done it but by the time I got it it was peeling flaking and just generally nasty. I was surprised, when working on the engine, that it had been forged. I don't mean to be rude, but reading through your thread I got the impression that money was a

Yeah, had it 8 months and done 100 miles in it....it is a never ending story of problems with this motor. Be interesting to see what the cars history is or if he has a build thread for it. Unfortunately this was a High Wycombe Special

As said she's being looked after and will be for a fair few years to come

Really bad mate. Really bad. Shame I didn't see this thread. This was the state I bought it in. Head gasket had failed. The body has seen better days. The roof has peeled badly. Few things wrong with it still but it's gone to a loving home mate. Photo Taken Thursday

ECU's were always frying on these lmao. The amount I've seen on eGay with blown ECU's This was the car I wanted before the Starlet, glad I saw sense in the end. This was my brothers one: Years and years ago now

I'd be more inclined to say HG as that was my experience. Is the fan kicking in and out? It shouldn't overheat if the fans working properly. The civic rad you can get for these cars seem to be very good.

What was the matter with the Kaaz one?

Oh I don't know, different kind of fun. I suppose you are more on your own a bit. I was driving around Chelt town the other night and a Jaguar XJ summit summit must of heard the chatter from the turbo on my car, and flawed it off the line, I was like yeah, it's a boggo 1.3 mate, on your own like. No point 'racing' after a car with 3X's the power lol.

Definitely mate, I love the underdog feeling of those cars. Fair play to you for buying one lmao!

The way I see it is it's a conservation of energy. In any closed system energy is conserved, so lightening the flywheel gives you faster acceleration of the engine, but the overall energy of the system has not changed. All I can see logically is that, if the engine picks up faster, then you will hit boost faster, which means you will make power sooner.
