My Eunos Roadster Turbo

[JasonNA]

Got this last week so thought I'd join the site it came from. I got it off a member on dtdirl who bought it off twailbait on here who built it.

Coming from vtecs to this mental turbo is a MASSIVE learning experience, never mind the fact that the roads of Donegal wouldn't be the most suitable for massive tyre widths and low offsets. It still struggles through the humps and bumps though

A quick pic the first morning outside work.


I've got a good few plans for it, mainly tidying it up, so I'll be updating this as I go along and all comments, good or bad, are welcome.

First thing I did was hang the front bumper up where it was supposed to go. I had an aerosol of BMW Sepang Bronze lying around the garage so I decided to give the steelies a quick dusting over to take the rough look off them.



They where already roughly coated in primer so I couldn't of made them much worse. I don't think they turned out too badly considering it took 5 minutes and no masking tape was used.

[rhysmate]

[Dori_Rory]

Another LetterKenyan! Welcome along lad, good to see another rwd make its way up here. Was just thinking how much car for the money that wee thing was. Savage bit of kit and best of luck with it. Make sure you take it handy until you are well used to it!

[JasonNA]

Cheers for the replies. Kind of the opposite of Cork up here ha

Small update. Ordered these on Sunday and they arrived today.


Here's pics of them on the car



I also replaced the old steering rack with one that was provided by Aaron in the sale. Really easy job on these, all I used was a Halfords tool set and a Lidl jack. bt

Really made a world of difference to the handling and counter steering doesn't feel like a struggle so much any more.

I'm on the lookout for some sort of exhaust at the minute, something a bit neater looking

It's quite enjoyable, I must say

I might give them a quick blast, means I'll have to tape up the tyres though haha

Nah, no NCT and I'm gonna tax it next month so I wouldn't wanna chance the hassle.

Wouldn't mind a nice open space to get the hang of it though.
