So he was telling me! Speaking of Co-op. I must live 1 minute from that supermarket. 30 seconds if driving in a EP82! :p

Even better as I live in northwing field :p You probably know, or know of Wesley. It's his fault that I got an EP82! :mad: Haha

It is using the standard boost buttons as when switching to hi boost it makes a HELL of a difference. Might need to invest in one of these actuators then :p

Right, so I obtained a quote online through quinn, I filled out all the details but after putting in the registration details it came up as a GT Turbo 3dr, although after having looking through the drop down options there was one for GT Turbo 3dr (import). I have the log books and import...

I've tried admiral.. Stupid quotes. £1300 doesnt seem so bad really! Really considering my options here as money is tight, and although having the money to insure it, insuring it would make money water tight! Not even a penny would be able to leak out of my account :p If they bumped into...

Sorry for double post but im feeling lazy atm :P Im aware of the area playing a role in how much you pay. Doesnt it work on how many claims are made in your area? If so who knows the amount of claims are made in that area other than the insurance providers. Seems a bit biased. Anyone can make...

What price, NCB and on the policy was it a turbo?

Got a quote from quinn for £1300 with my mum as a named driver. Best so far, doesnt look like im gonna get any better so I think im going to go for it.

Not gone under the bonnet yet but I drove to work this morning in high boost. Gave it a boot on a common open road near me and I didnt have the same problem, so it seems it only happens on low boost. Is this relevant?

So I just rang Adrian Flux to vent my rage on how people I know are getting insured on the EP's who are under 21 years of age and to my surprise they did offer me a quote. A ball park figure between £1700 - £2000 with one years NCB. After all this I guess Adrian Flux wasnt such a good idea...

I don't :-) It's just what I've been told. Very messy! This is probably a stupid question but how would I turn the boost down? I know very little about motors, least of all turbo-charged models! Edit: Also, is the turbo creep harmful in any way? And what explains the engine chocking when I...

Thanks for the thread link Craig, very insightful but im not sure how I remedy this. Is the FCD not necessary then? One viable solution is to port the wastegate, but I think it already has been ported? Hmm..

Yeah, it does feel like you hit something for a second. No gauges as of yet, the interior was pretty much stripped when I bought it and I havent got around to cleaning it up (only got the car on saturday :p ) and first thing i wanted to do is open it up and see what shes made of! The spec as...

Hi so I opened the Ep82 up (on low boost) on an open road yesterday and when I was hitting around 100mph (i suspect around 5krpm) the throttle kept cutting. The engine didnt stall but everytime I put the pedal down the car would jerk for a split second and will not go over 5krpm. Is this the...

Turn 21 next July :( Though I don't have much room for choice, so I guess its playing the waiting game. I did however get a quote from Quinn at about £1033, that was with one years NCB but I will have to wait untill the beginning of November to go through with that. Not nearly as bad as waiting...

Bought a EP82 fairly cheaply, it was a private sale. The only mods im aware of at the ones that I can see under the engine (and im no expert on modifcations or EP82 for that matter). Anyway, there is one issue im not sure on. The clutch is really tight, and what I mean by that is there doesnt...

The car is off the road at the moment! (having a little insurance trouble) so its not going anywhere soon. I'll shoot with the compression test, but being of my nature I have no idea how to run this. Any idea how much it would cost to get one done at the garage? Edit: Also if I thrash and...

Still getting really ridiculous quotes. As it stands I'm 20 with one year NCB and cheapest quote so far was, IIRC, £2,300. A little too high to say the least, particularly when I hear of people younger than myself with no claim bonuses getting it much cheaper. Been looking for two solid days...

Come to mention it, oil is pouring from the dump valve and the fumes vary. Sometimes the fumes look normal (albeit it there is alot) and on odd occasions its really dark

I see. Can anyone confirm that AF will not insure these cars if you're under 21?
