Yeah thats exactly it, in N/a form hopefully they should take it a bit better haha.Any plans for lightweight fly, 6 speed box, LSD anything like that?Well there's a long list of things I have planned but it's putting the plans into action. I'm aiming for a few bits kaz diff in a turbo box with Trd final drive set I've driven an Na with the Trd closer gear sets before and my word it changed the car completely. I will be going fte fly and clutch lighted and balanced knife edged crack and I'm looking into getting the whole bottom end balanced as one i.e crack, rods, pistons, flywheel and crank n see how much we can lose. Then I'm going to see if I can over size the valves by 1mm and go for cruise Vale springs and some custom valves but getting them to my spec (titanium, or forge) it stupidly hard. My list is endless to be fair buddy but I want it to be remembered Quote

Haha that is very true but I think I'll wait until I can afford an ep85 before j start playing with turbo kits and what not. EP85 turbo is the way to go.. Quote

I've been looking for it for a while and can't seem to find it.Thanks buddy. And like Johnboy gt said its from a Laguna. Quote
Ep82gi Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 Any updates mate? Proper love this!Ahhh thanks man that made my day a lot better nothing's really happening with the car if I'm honest I've got a wheel stuck on due to cheap alloy wheel nuts so now I'm looking for a way to solve the problem. Any help would be great. I'm thinking about taking off the front hub with wheel calipers and disc all in place and getting the studs pressed out. Quote
daniel_g Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Ouch man! Just keep doing what youre doing dude, hammer / chisel / drill the fuckers off!Also take the other two nuts off, get that wheel off the ground and hit the back of the tyre hard as you can with a hammer, will help shake them loose a little bit.

Rely hoping to make it to santapod this weekend but the cars not in the best of shape to be honest haha it will all be sorted soon(ish) Quote
Johnboy GT Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Try shocking the nuts with a decent sized punch and hammer before slackening them.John Quote
Ep82gi Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Try shocking the nuts with a decent sized punch and hammer before slackening them. John I did to start with buddy trouble is when I first got her on the road the very first place I went was to get some tyres fitted and he done the wheel nuts up with some mental air gun thought nothing of it for a few weeks then had a slight noise from the brakes one evening so went to strip that side off and boom no more wheel nuts there's nothing left of the nuts to get on to to turn it. Really annoying. Now I've I'm honest I'll be rolling into jap show with this annoying sqweek/grinding. And my lower door plastics hanging of because I'm trying to source the correct fasteners. Not a good look Edited October 9, 2015 by Ep82gi Quote

I'd love to see it to be honest buddy my exhaust is a peace of crap. It it sounds awful. Probably the worst sounding car on the planet. I'll have to upload a video. Ideally I'd like to make a custom set up but unfortunately funds don't allow it but that shouldn't stop me from doing a crap mock up to begin with. Quote
Ep82gi Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Nice damp night tonight come out of work to see my car clean for once sorry about the quality. Edited October 14, 2015 by Ep82gi Quote
Ep82gi Posted November 11, 2015 Author Posted November 11, 2015 Little update. She's just rolled over to 140,000 today so a cam belt is due. I can see her coming off the road for a month or so in the new year for a little make over Quote

Ep82gi Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 New exhaust on today. Nothing major just one I had laying around that has a removable Bung and is only 3" instead of the massive 5" thing that was on there before. Quote
jiggaman_16 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Is the ground strap from the battery connected to the strut bolt? Quote
