Socks Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Taggy.Sumps are thin metal that bends when torque'd down....Need to make sure the faces r flat and you leave the sealant to dry for 48hours plus....Brake pedal shuddering will be warped discs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lew777 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 What happened to the sleeper look? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azz Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 That's very similar to the spoiler zisco run on there drag 82 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) I have done the sleeper for the last 12 months, i am just mixing it up a bit. I am going to try and make the spoiler so its removable with some kind of clipping system, that way i can fit it for when i am on track or off it , also the plus side of clips is that if i can manage it i can do them underneath the spoiler to hold it on, rather than putting in unsightly rivets, either way should be good!!

Simon Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 You could drill the tail gate and put some nutserts in there then attatch it with some nice dome head allen bolts from Pro bolt that would look pretty tidy mate and be nice and secure on track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
klyfax Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I love a EP70 sleeper car. Its so funny driving around. You get so many reactions from people. Some gets really mad when you out race them, others can't believe it, and finds it funny.My old car. 3E-TE engine, 204 hp, 296 nm. I should never have sold it.I will follow this car, that's for sure.Keep up the work!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Lol yours is even better you have kept the original 13inch rims ha ha, i wish i could have kept mine but the brake upgrade kit wouldnt fit behind them, i would have love to have had banded steels and it completly on the deck with the 13inch rims lol.
