  1. Got the tacho working also! Looks so much better now it's finished.

    For the people still wondering how to wire a ep70 tacho, I will explain this.



    You will have to add a wire from your negative on the coil to your cluster.



    You will need this black wire:

    You want to add it to another black wire on the cluster, this is its location:

    For the lighting I went to the scrapyard and got myself a second plug to use the pins inside of it.

    You have to add this wire to an empty slot in the existing plug and connect it to mass. the red wire was the only wire that was laying around at that time.. lol :rolleyes:

  2. Thanks a bunch mate! I got the lighting figured out already, I followed the copper lining on the back of the cluster and noticed this cluster needs an extra mass.

    I added a wire in the second slot and the lighting worked! Just the tacho nos, no clue on this one lol.

  3. Could be, just finished the hoses and seems to work perfectly. :) fan is nice and quiet also.



    Sorry for the purplish pic, my phones camera is not okay

    Also verrrrrrrrrry lucky to find myself a cluster with tacho! really really happy with this one.



    plugged it in straight away but found out my lighting doesn't work and it won't show my rpm's so it needs some rewiring I think? Anyone has an idea?

  4. it's a 4a-fe header yes. Wasn't a fast job to modify but I had this done as I can't weld unfortunately :(

    Radiator for an ep82 as far as I know. Bought this thing before I even had the car :D

    these upgrades are meant for the turbo setup. Just kind of making the car turbo ready bit by bit.


    Very nice and clean mate! keep up the good work!!

    thanks mate!

  5. Yep, did some tucking. Also I still had both ep70 and ep91 looms in, so I had to cut some out.



    Made a battery sleeve, painted my washer fluid box, installed my GPS track and trace (very accurate!)

    Installed my polished catch can, polished half size radiator and polish coolant tank. no time left to add the hoses, will leave that for next time.

  6. Ep70's are not as popular as the gt and glanza. Which makes this the perfect sleeper for me, it lighter and does not look fast in any way.

    Also I owned a glanza before and I already think my ep70 is more fun to drive than my glanza was.

    Seems like a pretty bad ass build. Im going for 250whp using a td04 with forged 5efe myself since I will use it as daily also and because of the traction issues, huge tyres won't fit unfortunately.

    Will defo follow this one here

  7. Will do Pikey, thanks!



    @ MR-2,


    I bought this car with the tank already swapped in. happened to be my old glanza tank by coïncidence, lol.


    Can't tell you how difficult that was but seems very easy to do. only requires a little bit of cutting underneath the rear seat to fit the walbro in.



    If I need to take some pictures let me know, id be happy to help.


  8. Received my boss kit and snap off yesterday and installed it straight away, as I suspected there's some play in the snap off which I really hate. Since my veloce wheel is not that deep I don't want to use it without snap off, so i'm considering whether to use the snap off or not. Think I have to take it on a drive and see how it handles.

    Also still have a really nice 3 spoke deep-dish steering wheel laying around.. might use this one without snap-off..

    Also, my car is lowered with D2 shocks in front. Rear is lowered with ep82 shocks and lowering springs. Bought myself polo 6n coils for the rear, just for the time being. When I'm upgrading my engine I will get myself some performance coils ofc..



    machined the bottom down from 50mm to 28mm, will be using a 2mm rubber bushing on both ends.

  9. Already made a decision on my wheel choice yesterday, couldn't choose between Rota OSR and Rota Flashbacks.



    I think the flashbacks look better on the car (except the heart of the rim will be full black instead), also the offset is quite nice on these, 15x7 ET40



    IMG-20160404-WA0083_zpsqlz81wmo.jpg






    for the people wondering what OSR's look like:



    IMG-20160404-WA0055_zpswyfjmu4b.jpg



    Tyre size will be front 195 and rear 175 wide.


  10. Thanks Pikey, these plans will take some time.. First off I will be fixing the bit of rust she has and taping in the whole loom because I hate the looks of wiring.


    Also let my girlfriend coat the inside of my doors and trunk because to prevent rust. :p


    Found some parts on the scrapyard which I needed. Still no luck in finding myself an oem cluster with tacho :(

  11. I'd rather go with an omex unit since it would be a safer choice as starletezy said.



    Already sold the Bee R unit to a friend. :( otherwise would of tested it right away. might still give it a try soon if my mate waits with the install for a while.



    Started with cleaning my battery and wiring therefor its not running atm. Want my bay to be as clean as yours in the future :D
