Lmao at the vtec toy!

Fancy something different now tbh standard form wont be as quick as my car and i will miss the torque too but always wanted to try one

Looking for 54 or 55 plate if possible

Skyline is on the list of cars to own but i don t wanna pay 2k insurance

I did that on a saxo vts when i was 18 lol

Rung insurance this morning and an ep3 will be £315 more to insure than my car

ME: "why is it more than my car ??"

INS: "its a 2.0 sport car sir"

ME: "have you not seen the spec of the car i currently insure with you?"

INS: "errrrrr its a higher risk car sir"

Thats that out the window then, i checked quotes a few months ago and ep3 was actually cheaper than the ibiza, now theres a £315 difference lol

Skyline is £2k to insure so ill be 25 before that happens

With nothing else that interests me selling my car for then i guess theres only one thing left to do :)

I think its more because theres more of them on the road which means there will be more people likley to put in claims.....

Had a Vtec you need to rev the arse of them to get any power out,
would always prefer turbo to them.

Havent has turbosmart fitted for over a year now, went back to the 007p when i went k03s due to bad smells and runing rough

Had this manifold sitting here since Trax

Fitting will commence tomorrow, hoping to find an easier way of fitting but im fully prepared for removing the turbo, exhaust etc etc

Also Got all my service bits too, including coolant (not pictured)

Also a little sound clip of how my 007p sounds (hear it near the end of the clip)
Its making the same sort of noise it did when the old spring was too weak, service kit ordered to hopefully sort it

Better for hybrid, not much point for k03s though, from what ive read it doesnt make a difference on this setup
