LOL Young, you sound like you don't like EP3's.

It was this or the 8MR.. but this hurts me less when it comes to insurance. :P

On the up side, this thing is a rocket for a 2.0L N/A, and let's not forget the 8,600rpm red line.. HAHAHA

finally lol. nice ride! kaze would be pleased. are ep3 type r's all imports?

Thanks Chicken. Yeah, all EP3's are imports either from UK or Japan - though a majority will be from Japan.

Heh thanks John! A lot of the ones here are 01/02 models. Mine is an 03 (last of the pre-facelifts). But also the condition (inside and out) of this was much better than a lot of them which are for sale here. Uber clean Recaro's was one of the major deciding factors for me. :)

This car is stock as a rock, aside from some Mugen sports pedals, and some PIAA wipers, from the previous owner in Japan which is an added bonus for me!

Very happy for you, again congrats :)

You can pick up a 01~03 for roughly 20~23K these days. 04~05 will be up in the 25's.

So where does this go? or were you trickin :P

Heh, they were genuine DC5R side markers.. I was going to replace the little circular ones, but I think I might just leave them now..

I also can't re-use the Osram Diadems.. the EP3 uses a huge wedge bulb as indicators :(

Anyhow.. wasted no time and got straight into it!

Nice choice on the EP3R! More unique than DC5R/S, EK9 etc IMO! I'm sure you'll have no problems making this even more awesome. :spiteful: The guy I bought my evo rims from had one of these (white too); dumped on TEINS coilies, gold Works (as I recall) with Kumho semis! No pressure mate.. :whistling:

Peter.

P.S. great to see I was close on the 8MR suggestion..hehe

Got the coilovers installed today thanks to Indy and his crew at IS Motor Racing. :)

Front is currently sitting at 2 finger spaces.. and the rear is at 1. Hopefully when the springs settle, the weight of the engine will bring the front down a little more. If not I'll drop it a little. The rear might need a tiny bit of raising after it settles.

Anyway, 'nuff said.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
