Ep82gi

Recently just joined the crew from essex, from Chelmsford :-)

Yayyyy one more whoop,, when are we doing an essex Ep meet then? Could be a laugh

No one owns her? 😞

Who spotted this on top gear

Top credit to your for getting an Ep on top gear 🙏🏻😊😊

I know him, Zak, he's breaking it now though.

Hahhahahaha I feel like a stalker 😉😉😉😉

This is not far off art if I'm honest. Your attention to detail is on point. That's my kind of thing right there. Love it. ☺️☺️

Keep up the great work.

Liam

Please!!! 😭😭😭

Anyone selling a rear cage for an ep82 couldn't care about condition of paint as long as it's straight n true with no dents or bends.

Thanks

Liam.

Yep, I had this issue also. It's just something we'll have to put up with I'm afraid; not even Toyota do the correct HB3 bulb any longer!

What a bummer what's the best chance I have got at getting the correct bulbs then any idea?

I had a similar problem with mine when I first got it turned out who ever fitted them had tighter the bottom spring retainers up really tight towards the top mount giving my spring n damper practically no movement what so ever. So a days tinkering and set them all up properly gave them a much better feel and it also drastically reduced the amount of understeer I was getting. Before hitting roundabouts at 30-40mph was near on impossible.

HB3 are main beam mate

That's what I thought but it seems the tags on both sides are to large and the top one into small I tried trimming the HB3 bulbs down but they still don't sit in the holder correctly.

There just normal 501 side lights mate , can get them for any car spares place

Dude I feel really really stupid now i was supposed to say main beam but clearly it was a little bit late for me sorry

Right really feel like a spanner right now but I can't fine ep82 quad light side light bulbs anywhere. Anyone know a good cheap place to get some decent ones?

Liam.

Tried that also bro still nothing on it. These things are the worst wheel nuts I have ever seen

I've split it down both sides now n got the top section away from the stud but the base is still firmly in place were there isn't quite enough room to get it out 😭😭😭

Id be getting the grinder out with a cutting disc on it cut a slot horizontal and break it in half

Just tied that buddy now there's not much left of it just a Ning around the stud 😭😭

So today's been fun I thought I'd get rid of these rancid green wheels on my car the only thing is some nutter has used ally wheel nuts and wacked them up with an air gun. So on trying to undo them. This happened.

Any one had this happen before? If so how can I get it off? Or any fancy welding some ally 😭😭 this is my daily so any help would be great please guys or I'm screwed 🔰🙏🏻

Thanks guys I'll get right on it. Sorry about a late response been busy hunting for a new job looool #anybodyneedanenginebuilder 🔰😒

I'm Really hoping this will work! Maybe it will encourage more people to start thinking out the box and trying things them selves!

Here here!! I second that buddy 🔰🙊

I'll have a set to suit GT if there's a group buy in the works ☺️

Thanks buddy that's a great help. So I've got two plugs that are not connected to the thermostat housing one is a small square plug with a single wire this has no place to connect as I'm running n/a I have the sensor with the two vacuum fittings on it wich is also not in use. And another single wired plug wich is more of the common shape. Wich has no cable connected to it as all but has a place to go wich I presume is my issue?

How can I solve this issue as I have not got the single spade type fitting for the plug in the first picture.

Thank Liam

Out of interest though, no matter how fast an electric fan spins it will never really make boost as it is only ever pushing air but never compressing it like a conventional turbo/supercharger? Because that's the theory right? to compress air using a mechanical or electrical method? I've scratched my head about this for years and never found anything to push me to doing such a project until I come across this

This is a vortex c15 supercharger but I still don't fancy sticking £500 in to one. 😏

I'm so intrigued to see how well this turns out so please persist with it buddy and the best of luck to you sir 🙊

Ahhh really that's a shame should get him to post it on here to see if anyone wants a whole one to keep the numbers up. To many in bits these days 😭

Spotted it just as I was leaving so I pulled up next to him for a quick chat. nice guy wondered if he was on here or not. Nice to find some more locals. X

Just a suggestion guys i have looked at this before n always thought the best plan of action would be remove the air con (who needs it we have windows) use the air con pump pully and belt as there already there. Mount the turbo to the old a/c bracket relocate filter in the grill to avoid water intake. Then run an intercoler. Thoughts would be grate I'm just throwing an Idear in there on my brake so I haven't totally thought it threw so don't judge hahaha

Good luck x

Edit -:- damn auto correct.

Mk3 mr2/mrS wheels look similar but theyre 15" this appear to be 14"

Yeah my green ones are 14" and there isn't a single stamp on them. Not really fussed about binning them off but I was surprised at how light they are. And wouldn't want to leave them in the corner if there worth a few quid. 😞
