  1. I used Canavans in Lurgan for my S/S cat back system. I provided the HKS back box and they did the piping and mid (bullet) box. talking about 4 years ago now and was £260 then, but steep IMO but looks pretty decent work TBF. Phil.
  2. the dark blue glow through the vent looks a bit menacing. 1990s of course, but menacing nontheless. Phil.
  3. Fuck sake Dino, get it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3rd from the bottom! http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/06/tatsumi-pa-friday-meet/#chapter-the-mix-never-ends Phil.
  4. Yeah goody bags for around 9, leaving around 11, although the car park can take about 45 mins to empty! think my usual co-driver is planning a hangover this year but still plenty more shows to come this season! Phil.
  5. Before the Evo at the bottom: http://maydaygarage.com/2014/06/18/more-photos-from-fatlace-x-jdm-chicago-offset-kings/ Phil.
  6. lol do we ever get to just enjoy them bud??? lol fingers crossed for ya! hopefully something simple! Phil.
  7. very smart dude! Phil.
  8. saw the classroom one for the first time last nite, utterly brutal. there's a similar one where there's a kid playing in the garden and the car rolls through the fence, its shocking. no mucking about over here, shock and awe tactics all the way! Phil.
  9. lookin really good B!!!!!! top work as always! Phil.
  10. bump strips are a prick because of the glue, but I'm sure the lads have something that could be used to remove the crap from the paint. it will of course then leave holes in the decals. Someone here can source a solid version of the decals, meaning u could swap the whole lot. looking forward to seeing this weekends progress!!!!!!!!!!! Phil.
  11. he did not, he forgot to ask Rob about it when he was over lol Phil.
  12. totally agree. my DTM quads held this community together, now they are gone and its all gone to hell in a handbasket! :P Phil.
  13. interesting discussion topic, i like it. I'll start with a positive note: when I first came on board around 2004, parts were not particularly easy to come by, and there were very few easier options available for those on a restricted budget as I was myself at the time. Today however, thanks to the likes of Iddy, TD, Zisco etc etc, parts are much easier come by for all budgets, including the previously harder to find genuine items. I wished for years for a ZEP spoiler and black/blue Advans to come up for sale and they never did, now both genuine and budget are relatively easy to source - it seems counter intuitive that as these cars are ~ 2 decades old, parts are much more readily available than they were 10 years ago, and that the range of parts is still being developed and expanded even today. That for me is pretty freaking cool that these wee cars are still supported. I do agree with some of the earlier comments also though that there seems to be fewer people who remain attached to these cars and dont merely see them as a stepping stone to something else, however that being said, i reckon I could name 20+ people who are what I like to call "lifers", i.e. they'll always have one or be involved, so from that point of view, although some of the old guard may have moved on, some of the longer term owners today will be taking up those spots. The strangest thing for me is that, there are a shit load more EPs here in NI than we could ever get to come out to one big meet. Which is frustrating. I know a good few of the EP lads here, but not compared to Jay or Secret Steve, the number of cars that pass under their noses must be ridiculous. So whilst at times here in NI it may seem very quiet in the scene, the fact is that lot of folk just dont give a shit about meets and forums, they only care about fettling with their cars for their own amusement, which although frustrating to the likes of me who's nosey and wants to look at ALL of the EPs, is a reassurance that these wee motors will continue to be loved here in NI. Phil.
  14. nice wheels dude, looking forward to seeing those on. think I preferred the twin exhausts, but thats just personal preference, the car still looks very smart! fresh pics with wheels on ASAP please! Phil.
  15. looking good B!!!! Lilly's just sitting there like "uh, excuse me human, take me for a ride naow plzthnkz!" Phil.
  16. looking good buddy. really liking the crackle paint! Phil.
  17. all sounds reassuring, thanks folks! Phil.
  18. Evening folks, Got a strange one for you all tonight. A good friend of mine has a bog standard EP91 GLS that his family have had from new I believe (it's his mothers daily). He contacted me last night to see if I knew where he could get a new key or get a key cut as one of his original ones has gone blunt and they only have a set of two keys, rather than the set of 3 that mine came with. So does anyone know if Toyota can still provide new keys or whats the craic for getting a replacement?? Also, please dont suggest he buys a blank gold one lol. Cheers, Phil.
  19. happy days, whoever rubbed their shitty bumper on it should have been beaten! glad he got the worst of it off!! plans all sound good! really looking forward to them! Phil.
  20. lol thanks bud! I need to get the driver's sub frame repaired and the seat refitted before I can bring her down, and we'll need to see Chris or Joel for some plates. This leak will be found!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Black rocker nuts arrived over the weekend so that's this evenings entertainment sorted!!!!!!!! Phil.
  21. Coils - yes! HKS Silent hi-power - yes Glanza skirts and bumper - yes TTE lip - BIGGEST YES EVAR!!!! really glad this car went to a home where it will be loved even more than the crew at BadgerSports Inc loved her! And I know you guys will have the belmishes knocked out of her and sitting show-room perfect in no time!!!! I hope to be seeing ALOT of this car as it develops! Health to enjoy Beth! Glad you're pleased with it! Phil.
  22. nice one buddy! hope u have a great summer in her! Phil.
  23. thanks bud. still a load to sort out, that will eventually culminate in new paint all round and new tires for the Volks, but some of the more fiddly bits are getting taken care of, thanks to Chris, Rob and Eamonn. Soon it'll be off to Jay to see if we cant finally find the source of the leak and plug the fecker up once and for all. It's a lot further on than it was 12 months ago, so cant complain! Big thanks to everyone who's been pitching in, as always! Phil.
