Sherb87 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Hi All, I have recently aquired an EP82, so I thought I would come on here and say hello... I was after something cheap and fun, so I did a part exchange deal with a friend of mine. So really, I don't know much about the car, all I know that it is great fun to drive! All the work was done by the chap previous to my friend, so there is a lack of receipts etc... So hopefully you guys on here can shed some light on what you see! Here is a pic of the engine - The obvious bits like AFPR, manifold, Apex'i Dump valve, FMIC The turbo says 'CT9' on it..... There is also a HKS EVC plumbed in, but I'm not sure I dare play around with that? I do intend to do a lot of research about my new toy! :-) Here is how it looks: It is pretty rough around the edges, it's certainly no 'show and shine' winner, but its more of a fun run about then a show car. Maybe the car is known on here from its past? Cheers All. Quote
Critic Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Welcome. I haven't seen that on here, maybes some others might know it though.And I'm sure you will find all the info you need on here to help you along your way with your new toy. Quote

I can see: Zisco CT9 Stainless RamHorn ManifoldWEPR Front Mounted IntercoolerFSE Fuel Pressure RegulatoreBay Oil Catch Can Looks like you got optional recaro interior too? Yeh it has Recaro's in... The chap I bought the car off had them retrimmed as well. Well! It is a small world! kidV messaged me the other day saying he spotted a Black GT in Lincoln that he'd not seen before...Sent me this:cf8f23db2b74a78445bf4a6b06ad929b.jpg Welcome to the club matey... Im only in Gainsborough which is not far away... You enjoying Starlet Turbo Ownership? That would have been taken when my friend was up for a weekend, as he lives in Essex. I have only had it a few days. So far, I am loving it. Really good fun! Got a couple of bits to sort straight away.... The T1R's are bald on the front.... The exhaust has 3 holes in it.... The speedo/revometer bulbs need replacing..... Quote
Steve GT Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Welcome dudeAnother one from gainsborough so your o ly 15 mins from me too Quote
Sherb87 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Cheers chaps! I am booked in this afternoon for a couple of Uniroyal Rainsport 2's (Served me well on other cars)... I hope these reduce my torque steer! That said, any tyre that actually has tread will help! ha! I am also booked in for a new exhaust to be made on Wednesday... As the whole lot needs replacing, I thought I would have one made from scratch...... So this is where I ask everyone to show me their exhausts so I can get a few ideas Particually back box....Ideally I need a fairly quite idle, so I may have to get a small-ish one, unlike the Blitz Nur Spec that is currently on it.

pick1 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 A 2.5 inch pipe with a 3inch exit might be what your looking for then dude Quote
Sherb87 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 A 2.5 inch pipe with a 3inch exit might be what your looking for then dude Funny you should say that, as that is exactly what I had in mind! 3 - 3.5 Exit. Inward rolled. Anyone on here with a pic of a similar set up? I love the angle jap box look, but it will be difficult to get a quiet idle with a big jap box! Quote
pick1 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Don't think u can see mine in my pic but I've got a 3inch jap slash exit no angel though Quote
Sherb87 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Don't think u can see mine in my pic but I've got a 3inch jap slash exit no angel though Do you have a build thread with the pic's in? Quote
pick1 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Do you have a build thread with the pic's in?No sorry mate never started a build thread should of though thinking back now Quote
Turbo Goose Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I'm just down the road from you mate. In Lincoln everyday for work. Might see you about some time. Keep your eye out for a black sr Quote
