im 21, now with 9 points on the licence, trying to insure a Modified imported Glanza V, which the cheapest quote i could find was £1021.12... I've just insured the car with bradford and bingley, for £136.50 fully comp for the year!!!!!!! MINTED!!!!!!!!!!!

not the best picture but it is off the road at the moment lol

cant be that good because he has painted it yellow when the car is black!?

looks good dude. those little cup holder things are out of a Toyota IQ, it was on another forum and they were on there.

power steering belt wont need changing aslong as its not fraid etc, as it doesnt run off the water pump

if it looks fine you can do it without changing the pump, although while the belt is off, you might as well do it mate, there not expensive so if you do it as well you wont have to do it later on when the belt is back on.

you can deffo confirm me dude, if theres a few camping il be doing it as well, if not il just drive home. either way count me in for deffo buddy.

welcome mate, so have you put the 5e in yet? as thats what I've just got as well.

Phil Phil Phil, i feel the same about mine, were i keep saying to myself, right, im not spending anymore on it, im going to enjoy the car, enjoy what i have done with it etc, but it doesnt work mate, EVER!! I do see were your coming from though mate with regards to laying off the wallet for a while, i think you should enjoy the feel of the turbo side of life for a while and then think about it after. mine has been off the road for the last 6 months, and its killing me seeing it stuck in the garage all the time, once mines on the road, its staying on the road until the insurance runs out, then il put the 5E in there with everything i want etc.. enjoy it mate, and good luck tomorrow

christ reviving the old threads lol!!! I just ripped the pump out, then did all the pipework afterwards, took a few hours to do but worth it. study your car before you do it mate, look at were the pipes go first etc...

lol

oh right ok brilliant. were can i get a sequential shifter from as well?? lol cheers

ok, I've found a company who will build the new gears for my dog box complete with the shaft out of Billet, which is great, although postage is an arm and a leg lol. quick question i have though, is about the clutch, now when your shifting up the gears you just pull it straight into gear without touching the clutch, but when you change down gears do you use the clutch then? I've seen videos about them and people are using it to go down rather than up. any more info on this guys would be great, cheers... Dan

both from McChu direct.

good lad, il swap wheels with you though if ya want?? or seats?? lol

lol, when i break mine you can have them, but it aint going to be broken for a few years lol

i bought mine from MEL, whos a member on here, but she got them direct from Mc Chu

lol im ironing now lol

looks good mate, I've got two small cracks on the one top corner, there not that noticable tbh, the only thing in carbon im going to do next is front splitter, but the ones they have on the time attack cars, different to the usual ones you see. then its all power!!!!!

lol thats ace, I've just bough my misses a wii. lol

looks good mate, that reverse scoop is huge lol, might just be the photo... ps; would look nicer with some carbon fiber wings lol!!!!!

cheers dude lol

cheers for the comments guys, much appreciated. SiCaln no probs mate, i know its not to everyones taste but i like to be different lol as for the photos il have to do it tomorrow night now due to my camera not working again, great. Also, does anyone know were i can get a dogbox from??? gotta be for the 5e.

ok first thing, OUCH!!!! second, rather than spending money fixing it, buy yourself a shell, or even another EP82 if you can afford it and swap all the parts over etc... then phone your insurance they will write it off and give you the money, and when you break your one for bits etc you will b able to regain money that way. how did it happen??

the wheels are still on my mind, il just keep an eye out for some, but i am considering real light weight ones. as for the engine i got the 5E cheap, like £150 cheap and it was working when i took it out of the car, I've had it sent away to Strike Engines, and i sent them all the parts needed, all brand new, ie. rods,pistons, belt, pullys, gaskets etc, pretty much the lot, and they got to work on the head and block, complete mirror polish, regrounded crank, baffled sump etc... £1545 thats including the parts i bought. i really wanna get to the 400 mark, but i know its alot to ask out of a small car but it has been done before, so i am going to push it to the limit and get as much out of it as possible, and do everything i can to make it happen as well, probably by next christmas you will see a big performer.
