Update I feel that this update should be bigger, given the ridiculous price of these things, but she now has a nice new PCV valve and grommet. Needed it to get her in a condition to run down the road to The Costa. Have some black M6 dome nuts coming for the rocker cover also. Paying for the Tein springs this month, then paying Socks for a part he's holding for me next month all being well. Meeting Greenmachine next week to get the drivers subframe rewelded hopefully. Updated to-do list to keep me on track: Tidy engine bay - started New radiator bracket - redesigned version to follow Wire in all Apexi gauges - done, just need to connect sensors for oil and water Fit oil filter relocator - ready to fit Fix bumper support bar Catch can needs emptied and wire wool replaced Boost controller needs replaced Repaint all 4 calipers Fit harness crutch straps Weld holes in spare wheel well Paint rear floor Tires for Volks New bonnet Fit anti-lift kit Wax oil Air fuel ratio gauge Wideband gauge Front ARB Shorten the intercooler piping Fit powder coated inlet manifold - done Paint rocker cover - done Repaint ends of front strut-brace Source some shiny recessed washers to tidy up engine bay Address the seats Phil.

looks good dude! Nice purchase! Phil.

looking very smart dude, nice work! Phil.

Excuse me sir, but you appear to have spilled some awesome-sauce all over this car. Some of it even appears to have congealed into a sexy rear mega-brace. KUDOS! Phil.

stunning as always! Phil.

I forgot to mention, Mr Bower also secured the overflow bottle to the chassis using the bottle bracket, meaning it now sits unsupported by cable ties! Much tidier!!!! cheers dude! Phil.

cheers dude, I'll get some pics of the cake too before it gets cut up! Yes we do indeed, i believe you wish to revisit the Apexi wiring, as well as extend the water temp sensor wiring out into the bay meaning the gauge will finally read a temperature. I owe you "payment for services rendered" also lol. Phil.

cheers bud! Phil.

car is looking class dude, great work! shame about the manifold, but a perfect excuse to get a Zisco item! Phil.

I try not to think about it, else I'd cry. Phil.

boost eh??? noice! Phil.

beautiful. simple as that. Phil.

Update Right, been a bit quiet this month as I have been somewhat "pre-occupied", as many of you know already. However, there are a couple of updates and other interesting items to be noted. So, you probably know I got married 2 weeks ago, followed by being on honeymoon for a week, hence my online silence. The week of the wedding I had a certain Mr R Bower and family visiting BadgerSports Inc. HQ, and being an employee of our GaragEP department, Robert was quickly put to work. I need to borrow my dad's camera to update this properly, although there are a series of update pictures on the instagram feed, #GaragEP! First up, Mr B kindly fitted the powder coated inlet manifold. Couple of nuts being pricks, but other than that, for once, no real headaches! And it looks awesome, so kudos to Mr Starbuck for providing that! Matches the rocker cover really well, so further kudos to Mr Monty! Rob also tidied up some of the surplus vac lines, and he also performed the sealing of the oil filter relocation kit as per Rob H's instructions, so we are ready to fit the kit and gauge sensors once the car is relocated to The Costa for oil leak investigations. On that same theme, we had a bit of a look at the leak, and there is oil on the back of the block. Its all very confusing, so I think Jay's proposed approach to strip the casings off and run the car to try and find the leak source is the best possible solution. Robert also kindly helped remove the nut from the harness eye bolt, meaning that the broken piece of the subframe has now been removed so Mr Greenmachine can reweld that bad boy for me all being well and we can refit the driver's seat. So, moving on from Project BadgerSport's physical presence, it goes without saying that, being a UKSO wedding, the car naturally had to be represented at the wedding!!!! Again I will need to get decent pictures for you all, although there are some on instagram and FB, however, following the theme on here for Starlet birthday cakes, I think my wife has been responsible for the first ever Starlet WEDDING cake!!! Thats right baby! I see your birthday cakes and raise you to a wedding cake!!!! Complete with mismatched red and black OZ Titan alloys and everything!!!! Additionally, some of you that have been at weddings recently will maybe have seen these Fingerprint Trees that are all the rage rather than guest books. Well, my wife and sister-in-law will see your tree, and raise you a painting of Project BadgerSport, complete with Volk 5/4s, with fingerprint balloons lifting the car!!!! Wouldnt be a BadgerSports Inc wedding without the EP being represented! Sadly she was in no state to physically appear herself, but the amusing thing is that most folk at the wedding knew straight away what the cake and the painting were about! So, a massive thankyou to Mrs Badger and to Mrs Pandamonium for two awesome EP-themed wedding items that everyone commented on during the day!!! The fingerprint picture is now hanging pride of place in our living room....sadly the cake will soon be cut and consumed, but the photographer got plenty of detailed pics of it which I will share once I have them!!!! I will get the camera rocking and rolling very soon, I promise, as I would like to capture all of the above in this thread! Big thanks once again to Mr B for getting all oily in the garage! Greatly appreciated dude!!! #GaragEP!!! Phil.

just had another look at this, looks superb! as most folk know, my mate Foggy has a supercharged one of these, on which he is running BC coilies, and they are superb!!!! these things on coilies are great craic!!!! great choice once again dude! Phil.

looking good dude! needs some fresh SR decals!!!! Phil.

Pretty sure this is a chap by the name of Andy that Jay knows, used to own a sexy white Supra i believe. Phil.
