i would say grey would look odd on a black car IMO, white are a bitch to keep clean (trust me lol) and black may make the car too dark? What about something leary like Green or Orange?

Nice jono!! Loving it ;)

Wardy replied to funny onion's topic in EP80/EP82 Progress Blogs
Just read through the whole thread and a very good build ! Keep up the good work! -
I would say personal preference is white on blue but if your going to stay with the monster sticker surely it would have to be green?

Wardy's White EP82 *Quick Launch Control Video*

Busy day on the GT saturday! I decided to have a go at the sound deadening! First it looked like this Then i bashed, hammered, chistled and even sliced my fingers open for it to look like this! I then got a drill and a steel brush wheel to get rid of the crap which lay underneath. Looks a bit better and with the seats in Now just got to tape up and sort the loom out ready for hammerite -
I'm from southern England and that distance isn't too bad, not too far from Cadwell and I managed that drive fine. Only thing is I would probably get a hotel room and go up the night before to make it easier if anyone else would be interested?
-
^^ haha you ledgend. I know me and my friend with a saab 9000 will be able to go if hes allowed lol!
-
Is it really?! Ive just had a look on trackdays.com and your right, the cheapest is blyton park
-
That will have no back pressure then lol!!
-
GT mate, Got to love boost!
-
I would be up for anywhere really. Havent done coombe yet but thats one of my musts! Cadwell Park is an amazing track, i loved it! What about Mallory Park? Thats a fantastic track for starlets and probably cheaper?

Have also been Hammeriting the boot and seat pans in white and so far the first coat looks very good! Also i have a De-cat/screamer pipe to fit, lower arm and going to get timing belt done next week Plans over the next couple of months will be Coiilies, front and rear ARB's, Polybushed, Adjustable panhard rod, Rear strut brace, c-pillar bar and cross section braces. Watch this space for more updates! I have now completed the boot Now to the outside of the car, I recently bought some JD Tuning tow eyes for front and back of the car. They came powdercoated in red so i decided to sand it all down and put my own personal touch to it to more match the car, sooo out came my dads left over ford diamond white lol! and this was the finished result with JD Tuning Graphic attached. Fitted to the car Also that same day i fitted my Screamer Pipe and Decat and it sounds really good! Pops the odd flame or two No pics as of yet Some pics i took the other day I had standard springs and dampers on the Starlet so i decided to go and speak to Jerrick from MeisterR and grab a set of coilies which are very highly rated! Heres the old ones They were mullered! It was leaking oil and flying around like a bouncy castle! New MeisterR Coilovers Fitted Rides and handles amazingly! absolutly love them! Fully adjustable for dampening rate, spring rate, toe in and out, Camber +/- Then a month after that the gearbox went bang! So me being me i thought why dont i look at getting something different Indeed i did! I bout a EP91 Gearbox which has shorter ratios and has just been reconditioned with hiding inside a ATS 2 way LSD Old box Pictures of the new one! Clutch Then i decided to upgrade the intercooler to a front mount intercooler Heres a few pics of it at the moment Then i decided hmmm.... LSD, Coilovers and slightly stripped, it needs to lose more weight!! So heres what happened! Add a rear strut brace and c-pillar bar Plus some 4 point takata Harnesses More suspension componets then started to arrive Old and New Whiteline Panhard Rod New Whiteline 24mm Front ARB Also comes with Polybushed drop links Then i got hold of some lighter front wishbones with polybushed bushes and Anti Lift kit, These also gave it a slight bit of negitive camber. A few Pictures of Me and Mark411 at Cadwell Park Some very low resolution pictures of me going round Cadwell After going round cadwell park i thought to myself i need brakes! I boiled my brake fluid and my standard brakes just wasnt up to the job! and i wanted just a little more power for now aswell so i started on the exhaust system by buying a secondhand custom made manifold Add some heatwrap Then a Side Exit Exhaust That is also heatwrapped and chucks out constant flamage! Few other little bits included a full service, iridium plugs, new 8.5mm HT Leads Front mount airfilter Also to keep it cool i got a Civic twin core radiator Also a Spal 12" Fan Now to my braking! rears were done first so i got some normal sizes rear discs but grooved with O.E Spec mintex pads Fitted Then i wanted something a bit more special and wanted to go different from the rest of the crowd so i bought these They are WMS 4 Pot calipers with 277mm x24mm discs and Ferodo DS3000 Pads and all i can say is they are AMAZING!! Fitted Then i had a bit of a problem with my turbo where is was smoking on idle so we all put our heads together and thought it must be the turbo oil seals so i bought another one for £40 and Brad gave me a hand fit the new turbo at the farm in a barn! 3 hours later and no smoke Turbo Got my hands on a Greddy Profec E0-1 boost controller Now i have just bought some new wheels, They are SSR Speedstars in white and are very nice! Just have to get some 10mm spacers to fit over my new brakes :S -
White GT's are the way forward! Nice one you got there!
-
I completely agree with you Dan! Im a bit of a veteran at track days now and still silly things catch me out which you just arnt expecting and your body reacts in a totally different way when you are under pressure or pushing your limits, I have experianced this but i feel sorry for the lads 82

im interested in the metal fuel pipe coming from the bottom of the fuel filter that goes to the fuel tank and the nut that screws onto the fuel filter PM me dude
-
Only problem being is the more I go at it the more the nut is starting to round off :/ think I'm just going to have to get some grips on there
-
It isn't but it can be, it's the bottom 14mm nut at the bottom of the filter and it just won't budge either way!
-
Is there another bolt to undo that is further down the pipe then?
-
Tried removing my fuel filter today but I can't seem to get the bottom nut undone! It turns so far then just seizes even with loads of WD40. Anybody had this problem before? Cheers
-
dont do it jono!!
