geany Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 New owner from North Hampshire Brought an ep82 on a whim week before christmas. Its my first proper turbo car. Few little issues but i got it cheap. Hopefully this is the place to get the advice/help with said issues. The car: Numberplates were changed to these ridiculous ones by previous owner as he was pulled a few times for import plates. Changing back once the V5 arrives. Its a 1995 quad light has 75k on clock although most of this is KM Mods are:Blitz front mounted intercoolerTurboSmart dumpvalve however its positioned on valve cover under scoop needs movingApexi air filter15" lomber dish alloysjapspeed exhaust with decatHKS turbo timer needs fitting awaiting harnessAnnoying manual boost controller which is getting removed as i dont agree with them Future plans include getting all the little issues sorted, fit a smaller rad (civic maybe), relocate air filter, coilovers then either a ct9 hybrid or TD04 conversion, different exhaust, tint rear windows, bbs rs rims in future as well as forged engine Quote
