Lovely looking V mate. Was going to buy this myself off Saeed but imo I thought he was asking a bit too much money for it.

If u don't mind me asking what did u pay for it? Pm if u like

Looks like you are going to have one serious car there bud. Seeing threads like this makes me want to buy my 6th ep lmao!!

Haha get another one lol i dont no what id do without mine :/ its killing me :-( and i paid £5000 for it mate, didnt take too long for it to fry the turbo tho as i was running 1.3 bar through it! suprised he had a hybrid ct9 to be honest and not a bigger turbo

Amazing bit of kit bud!.. Can't wait to see the mapping done :)

Thanks mate il keep my thread updated :-)

I suppose aslong as my thermostat is working correctly like Sparky said i shouldnt have no issues as the oil wont even circulate around the cooler until the oil hits a certain temperature and the thermostat will only open and let the oil into the cooler when i decide to have a race or go on track lol

This is some serious shizzle right there, i want that 5e in my life!!

Haha, build one then in your EP70!!

He did have a td04 kit ready to go on but told me he liked the hybrid because no lag.

I think I'm going to have to buy another one these little cars are so addictive lmao!!

I did try texting him and asking but had no reply because at JF2 someone approached me and said is the emanage he bought off me still on this car? and there was a JAM ECU on there so i was a little confused as to why he started wanting less power to be honest :/

Couldn't believe it when Mike told me my car had N/A 5EFE pistons in!! It was a tribute to the engine considering i had been running 1.3 bar for about 8 months in the time i have owned the car!!!

New forged pistons, rods and camshafts have now been ordered then the engine is off for machining :-)

My clutch was also stock even though when i bought it the guy told me there was an Exedy one in there so i have purchased a paddle clutch off Mike, he said he had one lying around that he would do me a special offer on however it had no springs in it but he said to see how i get on with it........

Also ordered some yellow stuff pads and a brake cylinder stopper i think there called?? The amount of brake fade i get at the moment is unreal but i did buy real cheap pads lol

Hopefully they will send me across some more pictures soon so i can keep you all updated :-)

what was your oil pressure on idle?

When i first started it up when cold it was as high as 4 but then dropped down to 1.2ish when at running temp. When the bottom end went it dropped to 0.5
