Well an update here. Seems I got to the cause of this. I have removed my power steering and with that I've looped a few items. Including the vacuum lines at the back of the inlet. Today I've removed it and just blocked these vacuum points at the back. Seems this is causing the wax-stat to stay open making it to idle very high. So lesson learned, if you remove the power steering, you should be just able to have the vacuum lines stay in place, or block them. I think in the end I'm going to restore them to default, just the vacuum lines. More items it resolved Intermittent bouncing rpm whilst applying the clutch Intermittent hanging/raising of rpm whilst changing gears

Hi All, been a long while, but still owning my blue tom's EP. Looking for a bit of advise or ideas. Seems I have the throttle body wax-stat issue. This causes the car to idle around 800-1000 rpm to high whilst warm, since it's allowing additional air into the inlet. Closing the hole (bottom left inside the throttle body) with a finger to the wax stat whilst warm it's idling fine around the default rpm. Now I've come across a few posts to just remove it, where it's been said the cold start to be a bit more tricky. Looked for replacing (new) the part or the complete throttle body. But that's going to be silly prices if even able to be ordered. Any one had this on here, if so are there any known ways to fix this without replacing?

Blitz Active Clutch Parts are discontinued, any replacement for these clutches need to be Ogura since they are identical. Both of the clutches will rattle like hell since they have the additional plate. I'm driving it with the OEM bearing but it's indeed not long enough you could have issues with realing the clutch and not being able to shift. Mine is whining from time to time it's only the release bearing but had some challenges when I got the clutch on.

Well, seems it has been a proper while.......The EP is still here and overall it's still in a good shape. Over the last few years I tried to finish things off, haven't been driving it much at all. Busy with the twins, busy preparing for my wedding back then, switching jobs, moving places. Where we've now come to a point where I have a proper place to work on my EP and a bit more time is on my hands. Wedding car Moving Places During those years nothing much has been done to the car. Now it's in the garage for some proper tidying up and maintenance. We lived near the sea for almost 12 years, where this car sat eating salty air for over 8 years. And it wasn't nice for the car. So time to do some cleaning etc. Rust Primer Bad bolts A bit sorry, but work in progress

Nice work Martin
