  3. alright folks! after a few bits that will fit the ep70! looking for a strut brace (standard glanza or aftermarket) steering wheel: trd leather, nardi leather or wood rimmed! rpm gauge! dont want any of the tack multicoloured shite on ebay! about 30-40 quid! any other little bits you think i might be interested in maybe wrth posting in here! in no desperate rush for anything! thanks!
  4. 3 years ownership tells me new and used parts are almost impossible to find for these little boxy models!
  5. sounds brutal! and the throttle cable comes trough separate so what makes that tight?
  6. nasty exhaust being made for me in the start of feb! sounds like a great idea! how would i go about that? direct fit? quite happy with my rims at the moment bud as they are just the right level of old school! (same year as the car) although i will bare those in mind for a japfest purchase! and 40mm lowering springs are on order!
  7. doubt i will win! but another offering from the ep70 sector!

I have a license, a camera phone and my first car built and ready to hit the road! a few photo-shoots were in order! this is a daily driver for me now and here is a day out in buxton that the car took me on!! and i met a good friend on tescos car park! two of my tyres wore very quickly on the used wheels and did not want to spend £86 on two new tyres as hese wheels were not the ones that i originally wanted!! a new little set came off ebay! 4x bmw e30 bottle tops! 14's with brand new tyres all round! finnesed in a
  12. now then fellas! there was a lot of haters towards my cheap 15 inch ripspeeds! a little reminder of what they looked like! so whilst all of that work was going on i had a look to see what new rims i could get! took a trip to my local scrap yard and picked up a real bargain! a full set of 4 vw polo 14's! ina vile silver colour with some terrible corrosion! but £70 with 4 good tyres could not be passed up! got to a tyre fitter and had the tyres removed then set to work on the refurbishment! here are the beauties! gloss black and so much laquer! looking ama
  13. and a little continuation! thought it would be a great idea whilst the car was this far striped to do the brakes up entirely too!!! so the refurbished suspension and a painted up caliper! and sneak shot of things getting put into place things are starting to look really promising with the build, everything going together nicely and looking so extremely clean! it get especially exciting when new goodies come through the post! my two new wings and a new valance all arriving in the space of a week, of to be painted they go! and some nice new import plates

  15. dont want to sell! so photobucket or other photosharing sites are the only way for photos these days? used to be able to upload directly when paid!

  18. Hello all!!! After a year of uni I'm back online.... As my Facebook friends will know there is some exciting progress on the little boxy! it's had all things it's been needing for a while. it's got new wings and lots of work has gone into the suspension and steering. Every part of the suspension brakes and steering is either refurbished or new. And to the joy of many the ripspeed wheels are hone an. Have been replaced by a set of 14" polo wheels I now have a license and the car will be on the road in no more than 3 weeks. Photos to come!!
  19. taggy you crazy man im gonna have to get a supercharged 4agze to keep up with you!!!
  20. Amazing job mate so far!!!! Im guessing that ep71 parts are much easier to get hold of over there in the netherlands than with me in the uk!!! I would put that kit on mine but it would cost at £500 just to get it shipped over!! Just doing a full restoration on mine at the minute you have given me some great ideas!!! Krep up the good work!
  21. looking awesome!!!! one top class sleeper!! getting my bodywork rebuilt on mine over the next 3 months should look brand new after that!!
