Spencer[RL] Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 After owning my white 4age ae82 and loving it , I sold it for the same amount I bought my new Red Lebo spec 4agze ae82 (2500). I had previously raced my white one around Barbagello and was 6-8 seconds off the Wrx's and Evo's, I wasnt loosing that much time in the corners even tho I didnt have semi slicks and was suffering badly from body roll ( kingsprings ) , on the straights however is where is was losing huge chunk of time. So hopefully this will counter some time lost on the straights and when coilovers, sway bars go in will be quicker in the corners. Starting to slowly un-leb it Intercooler went black for my stealth New Oz-racing wheels Was suffering heat sink from extractors near my radiator so wrapped them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer[RL] Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Had quite a scare on Saturday night when driving out my driveway Sump plug just magically came off which I didn't know about?! oil light suddenly came on down the road from my house .i quicky pulled over when the light randomly popped on got out and opened the bonnet . As i looked back down the Road I realised the oil slick I had left behind and immediately looked under the car to find the sump drain bolt not there and the bottom of my car dripping in oil. So found alternative bolt ( bumper bolt ) wrong thread but correct size so screwed it in just to be able to hold oil in and put fresh oil in, when I tried to turn her over nothing, Wouldn't even turn a little ! So being around the corner from home(1km) I got a mate to tow me home( waited about 30 min for him ) on the way home I dropped second and it started up perfectly it Sounds healthy and ran fine. This arvo I dropped and flushed oil again with no metal bits in the oil, it was perfect . So me and friend are doing compression test tomorrow to double check it all out :( wish me luck! The aftermath down my street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Can someone please help me with a link or a walk through on how to adapt ae92 coilovers for a ae82! I been looking for ages and can't get a definite answer or walk through on the process ! The internet supplys us with great info but damn you got to dig through the rubbish and irrelevant info to find it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonboy Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 How'd the engine check out? All good I hope. Also hope no-one came a cropper on that oil on the road, I thought my blown CV-joint made a mess! :laff: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20v4agteEL31 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 nice red one mate. Lucky escape with the sump plug. Imagine if you'd lent it to someone that day… gives me shivers. I'm having the same issue with coil overs. lots of conflicting info. With my car, some say EP82/91, some say EP71. Best of luck mate.

kickn5k Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I can clarify the MRP ae92 coilovers fit an ae82, with the only mod being a change to his ae82 strut top/camber plate. Can't rate them highly enough, totally transformed a mates seca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Engine checked out good . Did a comp test with a variant of 5 psi across all the cylinders so all good . I have found some jic coil overs for a ae92 not to sure on the make ! Never heard of them. So all I would have to do is chance my top hats ? I know Mrp coils are good and prob the best I can get but not keen forking out big cash on them when my car sees the track once a month and is not a dedicated tracker Thanks guys Edited May 8, 2013 by Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Painted my cam covers pot belly black. Going to do writing in white to finish it off. Bought mine for $80 in exact same condition :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
