Hey guys, its been a while again since i last updated the EP82. I've been busy working full time as usual settling in at my new job. I have managed to purchase many new parts recently and have a few major/minor plans for the EP82. The not so major things i've done are the newly sprayed satin black windscreen wipers and new transmission fluid and new coolant fluid. These are the minor details but they really can make a difference to a project.

Other new purchases include two front tyres as the old Yoko A539's were worn out and i discovered that they don't make them anymore i opted for some Yoko S.Drive tyres instead, these have a symetrical pattern now and are actually better in the wet and dry. I've uprated all the shock absorbers on the car so they match the lowering springs i installed earlier on in the year. They are KYB shocks and they feel fantastic, the car has been transformed because of these, its much firmer and more responsive in the corners. The new suspension feel has also been aided by a Carbing Lower Arm Bar which i bought from RHD Japan, this item actually makes a fairly big difference to the handling characteristics and for £55 its really worth it, just got to watch those speed bumps now. Fueling wise i have installed a SARD RRPFR kit with the gauge as i noticed last time i changed the spark plugs they were very white. I've increased the fuel pressure slighty in hope to compensate for the leaness of the mixture. Since installing it i have noticed a slight increase in power in the mid/top end of the rev range and also having a straight through exhaust system i get a lot of incredibly loud bangs from time to time which is all good fun.

Other big plans i have on the go are a newer CT9a turbine with 40k miles on it which is in perfect condition. I think the current turbo has a crack on the exhaust outlet side so i'm hoping this will rememdy the loss of boost at the top end rev scale. Recently i bought an FMIC core from ebay which is a fair size as i'll be using the ct9 still just with uprated boost so there was no need to get a huge one. I'll be using a universal piping kit too from WEPR so its a good way to create a cheap FMIC kit. Pictures follow this so take a look.
