These are the things i think are must when buying a new EP, before any real performance modifications begin. Most members drive about with the standard turbo cranked up for a while before moving on to a different setup so it pays to invest in some quality parts/service parts to keep your engine healthy so you can safely move onto a different turbo setup without the need of a costly engine rebuild. Servicing Oil, most recommended by opie oils is the 5w40 synthetic (Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S) for the 4EFTE Yes its expensive, and i wondered this for a long time....is it better to get a cheap 10w40 and change the oil every 3-4k than get an expensive oil and change it every 10k...heres your answer directly from someone who i`d regard as an expert in the field... “Hi Asad Using a top end oil and changing at 10k/annually is better for the car than a basic oil changed twice as often. In fact it's better for the car even if the basic oil is changed every week or so. Regards Tim OPIE OILS” Lets break it down....using 12k as a rough guide Castrol GTX (you know the white cheap one) £10 Blueprint oil filter say £5 (for arguments sake) Changed every 3k (4 changes) £40 + £20 = £60 Silkolene pro £45 (current price) + £5 = £50 (the oil is on offer from time to time and can be had for £37 iirc and theres members discount and free postage offers) Changed every 12k (1 change) £10 difference, and a much better oil for your car....you decide Oil, for the 4EFE...a decent 10w40 will be perfect look for Fuchs/Millers/mobile 1 etc Oil filter, blueprint ones are as good as any imo...4e-fe and 4e-fte are interchangeable and can be had for £2-5 depending on who you know Theres loads of articles on the net about which oil filter is better, with plenty lots of disections and geeky analysis going on.....the toyota genuine filter most times than not always comes out so if youve got the coin to spare get a genuine one. Magnetic drain plug, can be had for £5+ any Toyota one will work...each and everytime ive drained my oil theres been some sort of metal filings stuck to it...imo a must have mod for anyone...get a new Toyota sump washer or re-use your old one instead of the metal one provided and DONT OVERTIGHTEN IT!! You have been warned they are alloys items thus are softer than the original so be carefull!! Dipstick wiper, countless times ive gone to check my oil with nothing to wipe the dipstick with....till i came across this little device http://www.richbrook...iper-rodney/144 cheap as chips and does the job! Spark plugs, NGK Iridium’s are regarded as the best in pretty much every tuning circle please don’t but HKS/TRD they are mearly re-branded NGK/DENSO ones with a hefty price tag don’t buy any other shit either. Ebay is the best place, a set can be had for ~£25, cheaper than most if not all traders. Iridiums have a longer lifespan compared to coppers so do offer better value for money aswell as performance gains. Depending on your mods you can get: BKR5EIX (grade 5, for N/As) BKR6EIX (grade 6) BKR7EIX (grade 7) BKR8EIX (grade Standard NGK coppers are also fine, change the last 3 words to –EYA but I’d recommend changing them more often Air filter, not many owners use one nowadays....mainly for the N/A`s id recommend the K&N part number: 33-2634 Coolant, Often neglected....toyota red premix is recommended and get a thermostat too....most cooling issues/temp gauges not moving etc are due to the thermostat...our cars are atleast 10-15 years old now so it safe to say it will be past its best! They are cheap to replace and save sooooo much headache To replace, drain all the coolant, follow the bottom rad hose up to the engine....disconnect it and undo the two 10mm nuts...give the thermostat housing a tap and replace the stat! Don’t over tighten the nuts!! Gear oil, the general consensus seems to be to use Silkolene syn5 75w90 for both LSD and normal (unsure on this) redline also make a very good oil. Basic mods to ensure reliability These are the mods i think should be done to all standard turbo EP`s when you acquire them..... Boost gauge, get a decent one plumbed in asap....turbo cars require extra attention. In case of a problem one of the first questions asked is “what boost you running mate”....how are you suppose to know?? Get one fitted!! It also gives you piece of mind when driving about... Braided oil feed, countless engines have been ruined by the stock oil feed snapping/breaking...get a braided one, even if you change set-up you`ll still get decent monies back for one Silicone water pipes to the turbo, a perishable item and can mean the loss of your engine very quickly if one was to split....replace them when changing coolant...also inspect the metal part which can corrode and get it sorted!! Oil return pipe to the sump, again it can crack over time...leading to engine failure...get a oil specific silicone pipe (not any old silicone one it must be able to handle hot oil)

300+ and 360?! thats like ~50mpg at the current price... :surrender: 300 is my max atm.....i have few adrenaline moments but that still impressive guys!

Decided to wait on the asus TF700, whats the wifi like on that ^? Heard they have gps and wifi issues

Symptoms sound like air leak tbh...also raises suspision on the CTS when its warm as it control fueling iirc Youve done most of what they would have done mate, wouldnt waste your money ^

the main reason i want a good cam is so i can take photos of certain lecture slides which the lecturer hasnt added to the handout instead of writing it all out = effort..lol wifi is excellent at uni as is at home, i have a 3GS so not sure if i can? this will be upgraded next year to god knows what.. im leaning towards android atm....i dont like the hold apple has on there products i prefer freedom to do what i like and plug it in where ever i want..also the new ipad doesnt have a usb port so it rules it out from me

Hey i want to treat myself to a tablet, which do you guys recommend? requirements: -must have a decent cam on the back with flash -deal with powerpoint/word etc -10" screen -standard usb port - well built -good performance im going to be using it at uni and home mainly so not sure on if i should look at one with 3G? Asad

300 to a tank is where im at now (£40-45) ^ the top quater has the most fuel in can get 100miles from it then it just drops like a mofo quick pic for ya`all

miss my old girl.....such a nice colour in the sun!!

you can get any bulb just make sure its the right connector/same type.....you might aswell get two tbh youll have a colour difference and the other will be on its way soon anyway

cant expect a 10+ year old car to handle like its on rails.... throw some money towards a decent setup and im sure it will put a big smile on your face, as above get some parts brought!

tbh you`ve had it for 2 weeks, granted there was no written and signed paperwork...its just your word against his at the end of the day even if there was its your responsibility to make sure its 100% before you sign and pay for it...id have a word with him again for some money towards parts to get it fixed (he seemed a decent guy) and see what comes of it if not im afraid you will have to pay for the work to be done or break the car,what ever you see fit... one of the first rules i was ever taught about buying a car, if its warm when you get there walk away....99% of time the owners hiding something (trust no one)...chalk it up and move on bud p.s sorry but i call bullshit on it not being driven on full boost, who has a 233bhp car and doesnt make full use of it every chance they get.... all IMO

id give for total seal rings everytime...

http://www.mistertee.co.uk/3.html />http://www.mistertee.co.uk/6.html

just get your old ones sand blased and chromed or something

all the same imo....proof they last longer? anyone had them longer than a year?

seriously bro, theres a reason why the big boys dont use them....motorsport etc etc up to you

i wouldnt bother, put the money to use elsewhere (could think of alot of things i could put £65+ towards)....they chip/round and id never trust them on my car

monohydrate is what you want, the german creapure is what i have (supposed to be the best/most refined) i buy beast creature £22-25 a pot......do a loading phase (4 scoops a day for a week) then 2 scoops after your workout and 2 in the morning on a none training day....eat something before to spike your insulin (helps uptake of creatine) going to move onto hurricane xs from myprotien now as it has creapure and protein etc....basically works out cheaper also cycle the bitch, every 2 months 1 month free period this is what i do, theres loads of different views and ways people take it.... im not too clude up on the test supplements, my school of thought is that us young guys really dont need it ....for the old goats yeah but not us young-uns

im not bothered about toning up, just want mass and strength

you can knock them down ^ as far as im aware they are only ever put in through the top with a ring compressor, how you`d do this from the bottom is beyond me lol

how will you compress the rings from the bottom, when putting the pistons in? also dont the bores need honing for the rings to bed into?

just got back did legs today, im gonna feel it tomorrow when i get up for sure!!! went up to 200kg on the inlcine leg press 15x3 did lunges 14x2 and seated calf raises 7x3....
