It's been a busy day.. [pic heavy] - Toby - 23-03-2012
I have had a long day today. That probably doesn't interest many/any of you, however I shall tell you nonetheless.
It begins with a trip up to Dan! in Norwich to do some pump mods..
Arriving bright and early at 10am:

We get cracking on with dismantling my Bosch pump:

The most useful tool for any 306 owner:

Then some jiggery pokery with the governor:

With the gov mod all done we tinkered about with a few other settings, and at half noon I left Dan! to enjoy the rest of his day
However, my day was not done there. I then drove 170 miles to Niall's house for some carbon!!

All done

Yeah the wraps are a bit like marmite, I got the material cheap though so thought I may as well see what it looks like
The car is running great, Dan and myself managed to get the tuning almost spot on. It's getting close now to running at its peak.
Next plan is to stick the bigger blower on
Re: It's been a busy day.. [pic heavy] - kingy - 23-03-2012
i love it when you do loads to your car in a little time. makes you fall in love with it all again. good luck with the rest mate.

I did ask Dan at the end, "So, does my engine have any last fail safes to stop it overrevving and destroying itself?"
Dan helpfully said "No, we just removed the last one"..
Re: It's been a busy day.. [pic heavy] - Grant - 23-03-2012
Busy day!
Glad it was a productive one for you!
Nice to see the car coming on well. Think the first time i saw it was the hindhead tunnel run...
:clap:

Yeah, I think that was the first time we met
..I was wondering on the way home if the Laguna start would work on an XUD due to the glow plug relay. May have to do some tinkering 8-)

Car is coming along nicely though Toby. Is a phase 1 sport bumper on the cards?

There will be some bumper changing/modifying coming along soon

Not usually a fan of wrap but that looks well actually. Tempted to try it on the Skoda, can always pull it off...
