daniel_g Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Good stuff on the garage man, i hate working on mine outside in this weather and i'm not allowed to take it down my work and build it on my ramp. Like those rear lights by the way, they just normal N/a ones or are JDM rears a bit different ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) I've had mine outside about a year and a half now and can count on my hands the days of no rain where i managed to actualy work on it, it sucks doesnt it tbh. One of my other bros has lent me his garage for a while.They are the ep8* rears and came form japland on the car but my lil bro (deebo) has same ones on his ep80 as the uk ep80 na seemed to have a random added rear fog just plonked next to the number plate on the boot, so as far as i know they are the same in both uk andjdm early ep8* cars. The rear garnish though is a jdm thing and tbh i love the arse of my car lol.Forgot to add above I've also bought starbo morleys vf30 as im going to rip my vf24 apart and make a ballbearing vf30 from the two should create a faster spooling vf30 basicaly so lots of spool and more mid and top end than the 24 could give.

daniel_g Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Liking your turbo plans, VF series seems looks really appealing compared to a TD04, mind theres so much variety in the VFs. Do like the boot trim/light combo aswell, looks a wee bit like a MK2 panel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Cheers mate, and yea vf are good turbos just very expensive given there age, if i kill the turbo at anypoint im going to have gt flanges welded to the mani tbh as theres a much bigger variaty of gt turbos.

daniel_g Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Beats splashing out on a new setup, and aye with the GTX models and such nowadays, theres some proper decent figures/spool for size coming out of them in other cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Getting there matey I have some Mk1 GT rear lights if you decied to want to change at some point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 MK1 rears would suit this perfect i reckon, i have a pair to go on mine too. But bulb holders are different to the MK3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have bulb holders and loom also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 cheers bud appreciate the offer, but mr moss was going to provide a set but tbh they dont quite tickle my balls as much as the jdm/uk na rears. think thats and the ep85 S rear spoiler looks smart and a bit different.

MARC MOSS Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Is that my old bumper ??? Where's the splitter lol that took me ages Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 it is indeed your old bumper, lips in the shed, its probs goin back on tbh as somthing is missing from the front but thought it didnt look right at first. tbh im not happy with the front of the car yet i cant put my finger on it but its not quite what I've pictured.
