shorty

Lol, more addictive than crack! He was always coming back. Looks sweet dude.

Your at work at half 9? Sucks balls! Im sat on the couch with a beer moohaahahahahaaa

Cheers dude. Appreciate it I've not heard from him for a few days atm so not too sure tbh. Hes quite snowed under atm to be fair to him.

Top guy! Bought a oem strut brace. Paid him and within an hour or so i had a tracking number! Turned up asap and was well wrapped. Highly reccomend him as a seller. Thanks again mate.

Internal is when you have an actuator on the side of the turbo that controls the boost. The actuator opens an internal wategate penny that vents the excess air to control boost. External is when you have a waste gate located before the turbo and is usually a lot bigger than an internal gate would be. The screamer is just venting the excess air to atmosphere hence the noise. Screamers can be run on either set up and an external kit that doesnt use a screamer is a plumbed back system. As a general rule external gates are better for holding stable boost and less likley to "creep" up from the set boost level. You can port out the internal gate and use a bigger penny to combat creep but as a rule of thumb external gates tend to be a quicker more stable boost control option.

Nice dude. Glad to see its still being enjoyed. Be keen to see some vids of it going and graphs of how it preforms

Ouch! The noise cuts through you like a knife dont it

Haha maybe but still wont fill the mk1 gt void! I think we should just go rob it back. He will never know it was us!

Lol at his ignorance! Love how some people have no idea about their car or the parts in it.

Yep that way he can spend loads trying to fill the void. It wont work though then he will be even more gutted haha

Its never gonna happen marc! Your a muppet for selling it! Pikey click on the blue "mountain goat" part in my sig. Will take you to the build thread for the track one.

Lol true it kinda has. Mix it back up marc!

Yea thats them mate

I can probably lend you mine off the goat to get fabed dude and yea is proper embarrising grant mockes me every now n then bough how its a basic engine swap that should only take a weekend haha

No restrictor in third runner though??

Could go for o rings or i think its comotech or something like that where you can get custom hg made. My forged engine had a copper hg with steel fire rings when i first bought it 7years ago. Was a bloody expensive hg though.

Yes charlie the 5door has a rarb on too im soo in love with it but i do have to put it up for sale. Im just not gonna b fussed if it doesnt sell lol. Na mate the swap is quite easy tbh just swap out the engine loom and ecu so basically it all unplugs then all plugs back in unless you are doing anything fancy like wire tucking it then its alot of chopping and extending but I've just done some basic tidying of the gt loom. Nothing mad. And my ep85 3door has had a crash diet lol is basically empty apart from custom door card, flocked dash, cage n two seats lol

I would never re use them again. I've learnt to just replace em. I've a 5e sat around in the corner, when i can be arsed to build it int a forged lump ill use head studs. But im not stripping my forged 4e again just to bung studs in. The arp head bolts are very good. I just wouldnt risk reusing them.

Yea I've snapped one when me and grant put the head back on mine. Was only the second time they where used. Bought a new set and have been fine. Looked like a defective bolt on my one that broke. That said you can use them no more than 3 times as recomended but should also measure them with a vernier as arp give a tollerence level. They are non strech but can strech marginly under certian conditions

Lol gotta love jae though even with the lack of sleep Noooo! would so finish the back end. Each to your own though and its your car lol. Still a lush gt!

Please fit the mid spoiler lew think it will finish it a treat tbh. And good to see you and zoe at jae. I was a bit out of it lol all i could manage was a passing nod soz bud was soooo tiered lol

Aye just the one its behind the passenger seat. The other is just a feed over due to the transmission bulge in the tank. And yea i just swapped the engine loom in mine. Mines an s spec though so has all the same mod cons the gt had so no point using the gt internal loom for me. Mine had elec mirrors windows and rev gauge central locking etc all as stock the 5 door though is a tad less spec 'd just has ac lol all the rest is manual baby. However its super clean! Im soooo gonna end up keeping it

Nice spec, nice car. And i have a mate whos like that lol thinks hes the stig haha

Well mines an ep85 which has a rarb as stock which helps and also will be pushin well over 300+ hp its also stripped and the ep*5 have a shorter ratio gearbox compare to the gt's and glanza's so would make an interesting track fight imo. Let me know if you do get it back as will defo have to be at the same track day to see which preforms better. You are more than welcome to a drive in mine too if we ever cross paths so you can see what they handle like. May find it suddenly relights the ep*5 dream you had

Just use an ep*5 take the front shafts out replace the viscouse with a solid shaft and weld the rear diff. Job done.
