John does the blue smoke appear immediately on startup and during normal driving and boost?
Did TD have anything to say about it?
If it was me and funds/time allowed I'd rebuild the whole engine so it could live on.
My engine was fully rebuilt when the car was converted but there are small signs of the valve stem seals going also, but I do not get blue smoke, only slight combustion smell after screamer pipe. I am going to take it up with my engine builder in a decent manner once I get the opportunity.
The only time I got blue smoke was when I plumbed in the rocker breather pipe (for vacuum) to the ebc hosing near the inlet mani = guaranteed blue smoke on every boost.
That was run like that for one short drive and quickly changed back. Am still happily driving away at 1.2bar mind you.
Ultimately I'd go forged 5E for the time and money you'd spend rebuilding the 4E engine or forging.
Depends how long you fancy holding onto the EP. Ultimately after that I'd be wanting a 2.0+ jap turbo saloon.
If you need uprated valve stem seals I'd let my Zisco ones go seeing as you are more in need.

My blitz DD also dumps and doesn't flutter unlike the ct9 setup, so I'd be interested in this also

If you doing a complete break I'd like to buy both door handles please.

Dean@RWDevelopments is your man bro. Can be found in our distinctive traders section under his company logo
They have been under development for a while but they will surely pull through.

On the grounds of research I'd like to suggest a properly developed rear harness bar (oem EP fitment) for those with racing seat harnesses.

Health to enjoy mate!

I used to run 12.5 x 6.5 front and rear. Having ordered a replacement front plate they got me a 12 x 6 instead!
12 x 6 is the smaller/dinkier plate and looks like this:
Get a custom made 12.5 x 6.5 if you are sticking with the standard position as it fits the recess perfectly. 13 x 12.5 would look to big.
Request/insist that it be custom made as some places will make excuses. They can get it cut to size if they have the sheeting available.
12.5 x 6.5 looks like this:
Hope this helps

Same here Luke
I wanted a fixed seat but didn't want to shell out for a new or used Bride that mostly aren't in good condition.
It just showed up on tgtt and it had to be bought!

Reservoir covers ftw!
I have 2 different sets and still not sure which to fit lol.

Cheers Phil
It certainly does!
Seems Corbeau seats are highly underrated in our cars that's for sure.

Sweet pics bro
Pretty sure they have a 'no speed ramp' policy at Japfest lol!
Thanks for sharing!

Latest interior addition is a used but mint Corbeau Pro Series Kevlar/GRP fixed drivers bucket seat (8kgs) fitted today courtesy of Jays Garage - modifications and hoovering obviously needed!
Am very happy with the change
The old evo recaros are for sale locally and the passenger side has been replaced by a purple pattern Glanza seat.
The EP has been raised a bit as although it looked immense, there was just too much 'banging' going on underneath - drives perfect now!
Did someone mention 'satin black' ;)?
Seat finally fitted into the car

Wow that took longer than my updates!
Glad to hear all the little things are gonna get her sorted hopefully.
Hopefully this could bring back the love!

Have been using 10w 40 since the days of the 4EFE, through to 5E and now 4EFTE (ct9 and td04).
No performance or running issues and with regular changes, the car has always been 100%.
Castrol magnatec is 10w 40 however it is much thinner than it should be. I use Fuchs Titan XTR.
