I use to live in Wellington NZ, but now live in Feilding NZ, literally 2 minutes from Manfield auto course
Sadly my poor EP82 has been through the wringer the last 4 years. My ex bent a rod, shaved a piston and took a half moon chip out of my block, so I had to do a rebuild. My ex did the rebuild and managed to bend ever so slightly all 4 rods (not sure how) so another rebuild took place. That engine is still going, all be it with a new head on as while doing a long over due upgrade from highflow CT9 to TF035 (bought off here a few years ago) one of the stud holes in the head snapped. Got the TF035 working, and boy how the car changed...... until one fateful day while coming home from picking up another car the oil feed line burst and caught on fire in the middle of nowhere. Seriously I was lucky to have cellphone coverage. I managed to get the fire out with little damage to the car, even the paint is still in good condition (thanks MSNZ regulation fire extinguisher) and the car has been sitting ever since.Now I am in the process of getting a Garrett GT2052V put on the car. I am keen to see how this goes once it's back up and running. My partner is busy working out how to mount it and how to get the turbo to work properly. I'm happy to leave him to figure that part out and simply stay as the funds for the project
Great to see the forum is still going strong.
