eptommi Posted June 13, 2010 Author Posted June 13, 2010 not on the car yet sadly, taking ages to sand down =[ theres quite alot of paint on the other ones.Waiting on some piping to be delivered as ive got some massive boost leak at the moment =[ Quote
eptommi Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 Bloody hell forgot i had this! I suppose i better update it, done a few bits since last posting here lolIll crack on then, incoming big update! Quote
eptommi Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 Right then, well i eventually had the wheels finished, was pretty please with themIt was just about then that things started going down hill with the car, i had 3 wheels bearings gone, so decided to replace all 4. Also all the pads needed doing, and the rear discs. While sorting all this out i decided to give her a quick oil changeWith all that completed there was just one more thing to do for the mot, sorting out the rear fog light, took a while, it didnt want to work for love nor money but got there in the end,While this was being done we put a boost gauge in that my mate had ripped out of his old carlooks preeeeeetttty when its lit up Theeeeen failed its Mot =[ The most annoying one was on the rear wheel bearings!! seeing as a week before they had been replacedWent back to the garage that done them and it turns out they hadnt tightend them up properly Sorted out the other bits and bobs and got the beautiful green peice of paper in the end, good times So with all that out the way i got the wheels put on, orderd myself some falken tyres from good old camskill and took them to a local garage to have them fittedTotally transformed the look of the car and was a great releif to have them on, heres a couple of snaps, sorry for the bad quality they were taken on my phoneTheeen bad things started happening again noticed a small crack in my manifold, and the exhaust was blowing from the flexi pipeGot the car over to pipecraft after speaking to them on the phone, they were making a complete SS system for me for a nice price, ill get some pics up of that soon.Then yesterday i was at TM developments having some coilovers fitted! Ive got Buddyclub junoir specs on the rear with TRD's on the front. The guys at TMD were great, done a super fast job and just generally friendly people, props to them! Getting myself booked back in there to have my new Roadrunner manifold, and decat fitted, aswell as having my wastegate ported as im getting horrible boost creep ;) So there we go! thats what ive been doing over the past few months i promise ill try keep this updated from now on, and ill get some pictures up of the exhaust and coiloversTommi.

BigMan Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 looks quite nice but a darker green to match the body colour would be awesome on the wheels Quote
eptommi Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 yeah ive gone off the wheels now, will get them redone at somepoint Quote
Starbuck Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Nice. Wheel as mentioned to bright for the green. Darker FTW Quote
Galliano Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Liking the indeviduality here bro, you need some high quality/good lighting shots though! Quote

eptommi Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Right, got a couple of bits done today, first off was to grab the essentials..Then cracked on with fixing the lights behind the instrument cluster, as all of them bar one had gone Took a few more bits out the rear like seatbelts etcThen decided to resuse the carpet to keep the back covered and looking neat so i decided to give it a quick cleanWas happy with the way it looked afterJust some small updates but im happy with todays work Quote
eptommi Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Been thinking about it alot today, ive really gone off the wheels, not sure wether to get hte colour changed, they could do with a refurb anyway, ooorrr see if i can swap themOn a good note, had a short blast today in the little sun we had, awwwwwwwwsome <3 boost Quote

eptommi Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 Lads and lasses, need some advice on a couple of items =] The jperformance FMIC that TM Developments sell, is it any good? and what kind of modding does it take to get it to fit ep82, aaaand what kind of benefits are there to going down the hybrid ct9 route? I may go TD04/5 in the future but seeing as ive only just put my mani and decat on etc i dont want to put a turbo on there that wont fit those.Any help would be great =] Quote
David.M Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 wow your cars actually clean for once! I too am looking at those jperformance fmic's I believe theres 2 sorts a hdi replica and a blitz replica but again would be good if someone who owns one could comment as to the quality of the product.

GT Phayer Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 i had one for a few months and had no problems with it except the top pipe keeped popping off but thats the only problem i had overal a good intercooler in my opinion Quote
eptommi Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 nice one, think im gna go for the HDI rep Quote
