Does anyone eles EP82 GT Turbo have ABS? Its just i heard only Limeted Edition starlets EP82's had it with the two tone paint. mines a black with a flicker of silver to make it look grey... anyone else have the same? cheers guys rich

yeah right pain in the arse. easy fix tho which is a relief.

Hey guys. GOOD NEWS turns out it was a faulty rotor arm! the brass piece on the end was all bent up so i bent it back into the original position and hey presto the car started :) the geezer who owned it before forgot to screw it in place too so the screws were floating about the...

thanks ryan, yh she does turn over normally, well struggles as i said before, so we hooked her up to mates car with jump leads to make sure the battery wasnt the reason but still struggled to turn over, seemed sluggish. when applying throttle she kinda fired up but never reached more than...

hmmm strange. ill have a look for the ecu ground wire tonite see if its loose. if it is a cambelt change how much are we talking based on the valves not being damaged etc.

yh will do, nice one. some one at work today said it may be the timing belt? :s bloody hope not,although doing a bit of reading it should only be a belt change because the 4efte engines are non-interfernece ones or somthing? lolll

Hey guys, Was driving my car last nite to get some dinenr, and all of a sudden srated to chud and then died, lost brakes, power steering everything etc, so pulled over and tried starign her again, she turns over, allthough sounds as though she is struggling and engine sounds like it wants to...

ok guys so after a week of driving her she seems to have settled down a bit, the smoke seems to have virtually gone, although my mate said he saw her smoking on boost ever so slightly, i put this down to the car being sat around for two years prior to be buying it and maybe some oil was settled...

just been informed it could be the oil valve stem seals on my engine rather than the turbo seals. is there a way to determine which one it actually is? or which one would be easier and cheaper to do first? cheers rich

nice one, thanks dude :) rep'd

Sweet, yeah well i say a little, a nice plume of smoke comes out when pulling away and gives the car behind a chocking haha. So you reckon its cool for now, nothing to worry about? if i keep driving her it wont fuck my engine up or anything? just wear the seals more? sorry im a total turbo...

Oh ok so let the car reach optimum temp then adjust bak to 950, idle's higher when cold due to choke of some sort? And as for the smoke its a blueish colour, very slightly. thanks
