Ronan S Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 I'll be keeping the Grid's,was thinking of getting these as spares. going to leave it off and buy something i can fit to the car now such as a roll cage or something Quote
Ronan S Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Well lads,been a while since I made any sort of update here.Been a good and bad start to the year so far.Good points:-Shes now running an external wastegate td04 set up-Fitted a walbro 255 fuel pump-Acquired a lovely Zisco strut brace too but have yet to fit it.-got a full set of CJ Performance pipes for the engine bay-Full Cusco 7 point chrome cage on route tomorrow compliments of Jake Nest off of here-Fitted a set of QSP Raceware seats-Will be getting an intake manifold similar to the race-tech street entry model with a 70mm throttle body for handy money too so will buy it anyway!Bad point:first one in a long time and possibly the worst so far...headgasket is going/gone in the car.Not too surprised about that though,its had the same engine in it for the past 23 years and has covered just over 277k km's in its lifetime,40k of which was done by me since I bought it in April 2010So on that note,let the forged build begin!Not going to bother fixing the engine in it(but I will keep it)as I have been planning on forging a 5efhe engine I have laying around for a long time now so I have an excuse to do it now!Wasn't planning on doing it just yet but my car decided for me.As soon as I can scrape the money together I'll be getting the build done so watch this space Quote
Corey Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Sounds like a great plan dude sorry to hear the about the gasket but the best looking GT in the country will just get better now:) Quote
Ronan S Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks man,hopefully it'll only get better from here!Also getting my hands on a set of billet 265 cams so should go nicely with the head set up i'm going for!Once funds allow,bigger turbo kit and a standalone ECU will be sourced and hopefully hit mid 300's.Been talking to Zisco and Wepr about what specs I should go for so have a list ready of what to get,just need to start ticking it off!

nest Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Haha I made a list off what needs to be done and bough. I've called it "THE LIST" Haha. Cage should look smart in the ep matey lets hope all this snow dosnt slow the delivery ! Edited January 22, 2013 by nest Quote
Ronan S Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 I've made my list and the price is sickening :/Be worth it in the end though!As soon as it gets here its being fitted anyway! Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 holy christ that is so fucking cool. Quote
Ronan S Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks man!Cage arrived yesterday so must bring it up to the unit and fit it soon Edited January 26, 2013 by Ronan S Quote
Seba Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Great project !! GT looks awesome !! Edited January 27, 2013 by Seba Quote
lugzy clart Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Ooo chrome cage will look real nice against the paint :-) Quote
Ronan S Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 Haven't updated this much so here we go.Cusco cage is fitted,so are the QSP seats,billet 265 cams.Emanage blue waiting to be fitted and mapped,rare B pillar bars and a cooling panel en route and a Zisco front strut waiting to be fitted too. New wheels will be coming soon.And before people start saying it,as much as I don't want to change them,they let the car down from a driving point of view...on acceleration she sits on her ass and rubs the arches,this happens when going over any kind of bump and hard cornering too.New wheels should give sufficient clearance so that it still fills the arches and won't rub.Will also be able to run 225's on the front and with the new front wings fitted will have loads of room! Heres some pics of how shes sitting at the moment. Quote
pick1 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Absoloutly stunning ep gotta be one of my favourites for sure , What size wheels u got fitted at mo did u have to do some arch work to get em to fit or did they fit fine but just scrub over bumps etc ? Quote
Ronan S Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks lads.They are 16x8 et10 with 195/45 tyres.They fit but rub fairly bad over bumps and on acceleration which is why I'll be changing them soon! Quote
Ronan S Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks peeps.Will post new pics once the new wheels and wings go on Quote
