Idrees Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Sooo heres the new motor!After getting rid of the little Yellow beast, I was looking for a replacement that was more comfortable and powerful. I thought I was settled on a Civic EP3 which I was planning to respray white and slam it on white rims. However, I kinda fell in love with this beauty when browsing through TGTT. Okay it might not be that comfortable with the suspension but who cares with this power lol.When I first bought it with the Volk TE37's.The rims are nice, but too common for my liking, especilly with the Grids around. So I decided to fit my Sparco NSII's to see how they look. I'm not fond of the Mark 2 looks either so I've fitted a GT rear glow panel, and I have some other bits waiting to be fitted.Engine: TD04L Turbo HKS Actuator Apexi Power FC (Mapped by Tuning Japanese producing 211bhp) Apexi AVCR Boost controller Apexi Air Filter (Front Mounted) Wepr FMIC SARD Fuel Pressure Regulator Walbro Fuel Pump Simpsons Racing manifold SS Autofixed Turbo Back Exhaust Organic Exedy Clutch TRD Thermostat Alloy Radiator Cusco Oil Catch Can TRD Engine & Gearbox Mounts TRD HT Leads NGK Iridium PlugsLightweight Power Steering/Alternator PulleysHKS SSQV Blow Off ValveQuaiffe LSD in Rebuilt Gearbox Suspension: D2 Abjustable Coilovers Front Blitz Strut Brace Rear Toyota Strut Brace Whiteline Rear Anti-Roll Bar Whiteline Adjustable Panhard Rod Whiteline Anti-lift Castors Ultra Racing Mid Point Room barWheels/Brakes:15 x 6.5" Sparco Crimson NSII Alloys on 195/50 Yokohama Parada Spec 2's3G Grooved Front DiscsFerodo Racing PadsBraided Brake LinesCusco Brake Master Cylinder StopperInterior/Misc:AutoGauge Boost + Oil Temp Gauges in A Pillar Pod Carbon Fibre Bonnet TC Short Shifter White Indiglo Dials Alloy Cooling Panel Momo Leather steering wheel Cat 1 Clifford Concept 300 Alpine Front Speakers JBL 6 x 9 in rear parcel shelfRear window tintsMark 1 GT rear glow panelOptional Extra Multi Tray DIN SlotOptional Tray under passengers seatThe car is in really good nick, inside and out.

vit Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 nice purchase mate ,having seen where the sr started and what was the result " the yellow beast " i know there should be some big plan around anyway good luck ..will keep an eye... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chall Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 sweet mate., i was planning this off kev but slightly out my price range at the time! he's a top bloke and good luck with it. not convinced on the glow panel on a mk2 but if your happy thats what counts but the original panel is slightly different to what you took off aswellhow much for the te37's??

Idrees Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks guys. I'm not sure how far I am gonna take this one, seems to be perfect as it so the rest of my money is going towards the extra insurance/fuel costs!Chall yeah he's a sound guy, I wasn't sure what I wanted to spend when I was looking around but fell in love with this when I saw it up for sale. I've always liked this colour in the GT as well (Ask Kelly about how I always tell her about the nice colour of her car!) The original Mark 2 panel is ugly, as is the grey one I removed off the car. I think the mark 1 panel has made a massive improvement on the arse end. I don't like the mark 2 grille either, along with the big FMIC cut out so I have a Mark 1 bumper/grille waiting to be painted and fitted along with brand new Toyota headlights. TE37's are gonna go on ebay, starting at £500. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 i can vouch for this EP, was lucky enough to get my first dose behind the wheel of some tdo4 power when we hooked up yesterday as Idrees & Tayib were heading away back down the road, its a nice rare colour and has all the essentials quafe, coilys, arb etc so its a proper weapon with that power!its choice dude you picked a good one there try and keep a head with the speed though.those grids would look perfect on a slammed s.w.a.t bus.pm me if your interested in selling bro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks Geo, I was more than happy to let you drive it because I know you are a driver. Was awesome to meet you as well, top man. They're not Grid's they're the genuine Volks, amazingly light as well! They will probably be going on ebay so I can get some change back in my pocket to put towards insurance.

Galliano Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm liking this, gonna just concentrate on subtle touches? Or you gonna go full blown nutter again? Feeling the colour though, keep it this colour and your winning! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks guys comments appreciated. Rocket? You hit the nail on the head. Subtle touches only on this, I love the colour and that's staying for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bildo Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Really liking this mate, it looks a lot nicer than the pics you showed me. Has the power to match aswell so sounds like you got a great all rounder.All the best with it bud, remember to keep calm with the new found love of boost it cant be easy to get carried away! I'm sure you know though, enjoy it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Nice!Definately gotta stay that colour seeing as it's rare and all that. I think a quadlamp conversion would look good though. ;) I'm not sure on the wheels either but with your habits I'm sure they'll change soon enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Again just sayin how nice this is, really mint up close.Was great to meet everyone on monday, and thanks for my partsThe colour looks amazing with the carbon bonnet.Hope you have nice plans for this even if they might be small,Wish you luck for this project.Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Cheers guys! I had the geometry set up yesterday just for peace of mind, turned out the camber was spot on and he only adjusted the caster and toe angle a little bit. Little work for £45! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
