maddox710 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Looks great, what turbo are you running, doesn't look like the usual td from the back end Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherEP70 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Supposed to be sweet when done bro.Thanks man. Probably won't be done for a good while yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherEP70 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Looks great, what turbo are you running, doesn't look like the usual td from the back endCT9 with this engine. The welding on the manifold is an absolute mess so that has to be changed. Have an other engine so I'll be rebuilding that at some stage and go bigger turbo with that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Looking great! Makes me miss my old red EP71. Keep those updates coming Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherEP70 Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Fitted the EP91 wishbones,hubs,calipers etc also fitted drilled and grooved discs. Also picked up rear wheel bearings to do the rear disc conversion. Saves alot of hassle. Just have to fit the bearings in the disc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherEP70 Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Finished off with the underside protection. Undersealed the whole under neath and went over it in chassis paint. Didn't like the kinda sticky feel of the underseal.Test fitted the spoiler,midspoiler and front grill. Haven't done much engine wise still have to sort out the fueling side of things first Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robinho Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Nice mate... You might want to put the rear wiper flat like the pre face lift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherEP70 Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 My rear calipers were pretty bad so decided to rebuild them. Handy enough to do but a bit fiddly. Also changed the two pistons while I was at it. Picked up a rear bumper for it as it seems to be the only real mod with regards a rear bumper. Also have MR2 skirts there for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherEP70 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Haven't updated this is a long. Really need to get it out and give it a proper clean. Few small bits and pieces to do like paint the back bumper,seat rails and the odd part here and there. Pretty much how it's looking now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
