Sparkys EP82 quadlight

[Sparky]

Easyyyyyy, it wont be coming out until end of spring next year so no worries about that

Still need some more finishing touches plus mapping so yea around march/april next year it will be road legal again hopefully

[james@cjperformance]

about time dude, what are you doing with your old engine???

did you find those extra fittings for the cooler after?

[Sparky]

I've not been down to the car dude will have a look tomorrow when Im back

The old one is going to be rebuilt with nice shiny forged goodies

[Nanglebadger]

awesome! totally love this project. I think Jay and i were discussing removing power steering the other day from something (not mine lol) and i'm not convinced its the best idea man! makes manoeuvring a real prick!!!

but, that aside, good luck on the engine run tomorrow bro!

Phil.

[Sparky]

Well im up nice and early just about to set off

But yea I think PAS steering will be staying as for ABS, it can get fucked seeing as it dont even work lol looks like it weighs a bit too!

[Sparky]

So the engine is now living in the old mans shed.

Hopefully getting the car down his soon aswell so work can start, need an engine stand in the mean time to get this engine stripped and cleaned up and possibly fit new rings, definitley do the timing belt and oil pump and while the head is off I may aswell put a 1.4mm headgasket in there to lower the compression a bit so she likes 1.4 bar boost

Anyone recommend me a headgasket at a decent price?

[Steve GT]

I've heared athena are one of the best headgaskets to get!!!

glad you got your engine anyway nice to see some progress finially

how long has she been off the road now dude?

[Sparky]

Yea I see them pop up in the iCommerce all the time, might get one of them or a Cruise then

Its been 16 months now

I want to hear the old girl fire into life before the new year

Still wont be finished until March/April though

[ryan lang]

[Liam_D]

LOL!! Moldy cars FTL!

[Sparky]

Come work your magic Liam

[ste91]

LOL mate what the fuck is that mold doing there. ;)

As for the front end, it looks beasty how it is in those pics (apart from missing the air filter)!

Would be nice if you could get the car ready for summer 2011.

[bucketep91]

my old fiesta did that too when it was off the road, take as much of the interior out as you can and clean it before it gets worse.
