Mart Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Excellent update Joz.How come you have to get rid of your front bumper? Or you just havin a change in mind? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks for the comments guys @Mart - I had a small bumper before xmas and sadly lost my front splitter. For the cost of replacing it on the current bumper Im going for a different front end. I was also going for some custom bonnet work, but its gonna be more cost effective to get a bonnet already with a scoop recess. Hence a complete front end is going to work out better for me as Im going for a total EP package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Project Red EP91 Rebuild UpdateJust got off the phone to my mechanic there, he's bunged as usual so gotta call him in 2 weeks.I've also decided to order the red samco off ebay as I envisage its gonna take around a month to get my car actually in his garage as he works from home and the whole town uses him.All good things come to those who wait I guess.In the meantime I'm not sure whether to go ahead with the bodywork or refine the itbs...

Galliano Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Do small touches to the car seeings as you have time and money to spend in the next two weeks - it will be worth it in the long run Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 I received one wrong diff bearing so gotta send that back to Sheekey. Its not gonna delay anything as my car isnt in my mechanics garage yet nor is the gearbox out for my other mechanic to fit the diff. I just gotta keep visiting my main mechanic and put pressure on him until he can fit me in lol. 5l of Silkolene Gear Oil has been ordered also.In the meantime I'm keeping hold of my pennies. All parts are ready and sitting here in my office lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Joz man just heard your exhuast sound clip, that things gonna sound deadly goin full tilt. Do you put the note down to exhaust or the 4branch. Dont say both or you'll get slapped :surrender: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 The backbox would have the most effect on the end sound but the induction intake would also contribute to the effect it as well. With it being a proper mandrel bent decat system as standard there is no flatspots unlike the powerflow I had before but it does get considerably raw. Headers (exhaust mani's) have their own sound.

rmsnoel Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do me a favour lad stick like a garden hose or something up your backbox lol and see is it straight through, thinking of makin one for the seo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Project Red EP91 UpdateThe EP project is still very much alive and now I have a date in which I can finally get my car into my mechanics garage for the glorious work to take place and get this mountain of metal out of my office The 8th of February is when I will be leaving it in. Hopefully the red samco rad hoses arrives in time for the install. The gearbox must also be taken out to fit the LSD which I will be organising also.February will be such an eventful month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
