Bazza Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 so work commences all but a bit slower stripped out the soundproofing and just about everything else from inside and got left with a pile of this ! then a coat of paint (not good pics, but it looks shiney black) next step is to weld in the new seat supports to support the new seats ! then install the seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Looks really good mate.... The sound proofing is a lark to remove, don't you agree ..... I am really impressed she looks the part without question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightSpirit Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Evening Bazza, everyone... it's good to see another EP being given the proper treatment Not wanting to hijack your thread here, but my EP in its current trim weighs in at 760kg and with 203hp at the wheels that's an impressive 300+ hp per tonne. All on the blog www.night-spirit.co.uk/blog JonB said you may be looking for a cage too? I come across those fairly regularly on my travels...let me know if you need any help!

Bazza Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 i will not be entering the Time Attack series this year ! although the application was accepted, with the car being touch and go wether it was/is going to be ready, and the entrance fee of £1500 i didnt want to chance not being ready and loosing out it is however competing in the Toyota Sprint Series, and due its first race on March 16th as the engine is still in the process of being rebuilt, (as normal a few problems delay these things), so in the meantime the spare engine has now been installed, which hopefully will allow the first race to happen as soon as its over, the new engine will then get installed good news is the inside is complete and ready to go the list of events are as follows: 16th March - Waterbeach 4th May - Barkston Heath 14th June - Teesside (Light) 17th August - Woodbridge 25th October - Teesside (Dark) each track being very different from the others will make a challenging series, especially as the cars range from the Fensport Corolla to 1.0 L yaris`s will try and get a few pics later :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
