  2. decided last night i'm gonna get just black, no polished lip. going for subtle look. seen black wheels on a black evo 7 and it looks menacing!!! they are gonna set me back £620 with tyres (Toyo T1R). i am also having black center caps (£4.99) and possibly black lightweight wheel nuts (£3.00 each x 12= £36) if i can find black locking wheel nuts
  3. i agree, i need the space and the money as i'm ordering my new wheels monday 16" rota slipstream, black with polished lip
  4. yes it is my motor and the speedlines are for sale if anyone is interested
  5. when is the next bristol meet then?
  6. very nice. what intercooler is that? i'm not sure on the pipes coming out underneath the bumper though loving you choice of wheels, i was planning a polished outer lip set for mine and i will have to get them. they look sweet on yours!
  7. as i seen a few (!) people are planning to go to the 'pod' on the 13th may, we may as well have a south west list so we all can convoy so none of us get lost a few people on toyotagtturbo.com suggested meeting in bristol so any ideas for a meeting point would be grand add your names if you are going 1.

  8. ecksjay, didn't you want to remove the bits with the lens cap? that was a good little movie, plenty of bits with my motor (which is always good!)
  9. i think a EP82 weighs consieribly less than a 172 also depends who can put the power down the best EP82 to win all the way!!!!
  10. me too!!!! well, i don't work for toyota anymore but they are so simple to work on plus i got on well with the parts dept. so i still get staff discount
  11. what is your vehicle? turbo? does it feel like you have hit a wall? (i wouldn't know but you will know what i mean) if its a turbo, its fuel cut according to ecksjay, its common knowledge but apart from my theory, no one had a answer try fitting a FCD (fuel cut defender) and keep an eye on the boost
  12. longwell green. i mainly drive about on the ring road
  13. if i remember correctly, its just 3 10mm nuts behind those covers you mentioned. its been a while since i owned a EP91 (about 18 months ago at least)
  14. i didn't see it written on this site, i just thought people would like to know you sound like the man in the know, how much extra power am i getting with 2&3/4" system? as its overboosting, i'm guessing about 7 BHP?
  15. what model have you got? on my old EP91 and my current EP82, the front indicators came out if you remove the screw and tap the housing with the palm of your hand towards the front of the car, they should come out. some force may be required as a EP91 is different to a EP82, i need to know what you got to tell you how to remove the rears
  16. i was having a bit of a think on the fuel cut situation, people know how to cure it but im struggling to find a cause who here has fitted a performance exhaust to their car? my car wouldn't cut until i upgraded the exhaust. my theory is that with a free flowing exhaust, the turbo is soppling up quicker with less resistance (hence the increase in BHP) therefore the boost is increasing as a result. i know they are very inaccurate, but my boost gague on the combination meter goes off the scale at high boost and goes past 50% on low boost as much as 75% if anyone knows different, please corre
  17. get a proper mechanic on it ie. me! only kiddin shaun i like your style of bodging. as long as it works, its all good did you find out what that bit of metal was from sunday?
  18. no probs, unfortunatly i will not be back into work until monday so you will have to wait till then
  19. thanks for all your advice on my suspension problems i have decided to buy a set of D2 coilovers as tein springs+ koni shocks work out not much cheaper than coilovers when they are fitted, i want to realign my suspension as i work for a honda main dealer, i have instant access to the 4 wheel alignment machine. looked up all the cars it has saved on the system. it has the UK EP81 (non turbo) but no EP82 I would ask my local toyota main dealer. but i know they have the same machine with the same settings as i worked there for 4 years!!!! (my apprentiship) i also couldn't get an answer fro
  20. thats good then put my name down for definate
  21. i think i will try 40mm as i will buy tein springs. i have seen them for £140 good point on the dampers, i have seen koni ones for sale on fensport's site. anyone used them? they need to be good as i'm hoping to go to castle combe in april as a shakedown for the nurburgring in august
  22. i live in bristol, would be up 4 a meet am i too late?
  23. I'm planning to fit 16" wheels to my EP82 bodywork is standard but what is a good lowering size to use so the car doesn't too high and not 'boy racer' low? atm i think it sits too high but 16" wheels will look odd standard
