Socks Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 tow eye looks great dude!Phil.Cheers Phil Cant wait to see it with the wheels on, should look epic!Your telling me! Im dieing too!Socks where did u get ya Cv boots from as I need a set to upgrade my stock ones ?ebay, but aint been on there for yonks!Would the jd-tow eye fit an ep82 socks or do they differ ?Yes mate it wou,d there the same design!The shifter extention looks quite cool. I guess its just a rod with the gearknob thead in the bottom and the correct thread tapped onto it 4-6 inches further up.Its amazing how little things like that can make a big difference to a car.Agree with you mert! Simple yes... but very effective! Changed the feel of the car!Well, Japshow was Awesome and Sucked at same time! lolHad a piece of what looked to be metal get flicked up by a car infront and take a chunk out my front bumper! Then on my 2nd strip run, cracked the downpipe after what I can only assume was thanks to quite severe wheel hop. The same thing that looked like it fucked Jamie's CV Joint!Shocking Times too..1st run was 15.0 @ 103mph2nd run was 14.9 @ 108mphBoth 60ft times were over 2.8secs lol10-15mph head wind too.Not too bad for my first attempt haha!Need 15's, 50profile tyres, lower pressures and suspension dialing in! Hopefully no wheel hop then I can focus on launching and shifting!Dont think any EP's ran under 14.1secs tbh.. Gonna be going back on a non show day for some more tries!Wasa good day tho, enjoyed it!Ricky is going to fix my downpipe tormorrow afternoon as I was going down anyways to get the gearbox oil inspected anyways!Met up with Adz and Michael for Tea when I got some V-Power for Japshow:After my first run down pod. Altho i started slow and granny shifted. It was planted loland Lottie was open to takers all day too and then pretty much fell asleep on Domo all way homes!Quality Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DanGEP91 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Looking forward to seeing the new wheels on though I have to ask, socks - you've done so much to this car - would you do anything different if you had to do it all again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azz Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Stonker of a question ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanGEP91 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Haha that it is, however I guess if socks wanted to change something, he would just do it anyway ;) still I'd like to know though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 socks - you've done so much to this car - would you do anything different if you had to do it all again? Stonker of a question ^^Probably the best question in this thread to be honest, so I may as well give you a decent answer!Yes... There are many things different...Id have gone Standalone Managment from the Start!Id have completely rebuilt a GT Turbo Gearbox with a QuaifeId have gone straight into a GT30 instead of using a GT28 firstId purchased some decent seats soonerId have chosen a Stainless Exhaust V-Band Turbo HousingThere are lots of smaller things too, but alot of the car is custom and no one else had done it before. If they had they weren't happy giving many details away!End of day tho, your going to always hit hurdles when tuning a car to this sort of level, ill be riding on close to 3x the standard power before the year is out!There is still plenty I want to do though, and that I want to change also. But you'll have to wait and see for that! Cars sat on axle stands until my tyres arrive friday... So in the meantime completely forgot I had this sitting on my desk... So thought id fit it in its proper place!Just like the Picture on the Box, doesnt get in the way either so all is good!Ill update Friday when new wheels and tyres are on! I cant wait!
