My shit HDI - Jorge - 10-01-2012

Lol, I was greeted on the other site with quite nice reception and realised now that is because most of those I argued with are on here instead.

If you didn't know, I sold my Dturbo for a Saxo VTS. Which was then replaced with an E46 330ci.

Sold that which looked like this,

It sold like this,

Replaced with this beauty,

1984 BMW 635CSi, in Red (obviously) with a manual gearbox, with 177,000 and a full restoration including interior retrim, glass out respray, engine rebuild and so on.

All I did was fit some 20mm spacers on the front and some 28mm spacers on the rear giving a nice overall setup of 18x8 ET2 and 18x9 ET-6. Gave it a good wash, polish and wax and grabbed some snaps.

As you can see, immaculate in every possible way. I had plans of fitting some OZ Mitos (17x10/11) and air ride.

Unfortunately, on the 10th December this happened at some traffic lights. Rear ended by a lovely Hyundai Accent with a female driver.

Which wrote the car off. I didn't want that to happen to a replacement so found a cheap £600 HDi to run about in.

Re: My shit HDI - Jorge - 10-01-2012

Now the HDI,

Peugeot 306 2.0 HDI Meridian
Later 2001 (falls into the new tax banding, £130 not £215 a year)
China Blue
138,000
MOT Oct, Tax May
No history
Scratched, faded and dented all round
15" Laser alloys with half decent tyres

It runs great, looks crappy and is f*cking cheap.

Got some shit pictures of the car, including my awesome new keyring.

Plans are to remap it on the cheap, probably fit a spoiler, service it, fit a new throttle cable as the accelerator is so heavy. Sort out the remote locking. Maybe buy some wind deflectors then run it into the ground. Maybe chop a coil or two and play with the T-bar depending how seized it is and look at welding up my old Artec AD Cups.

All my other resources will be spent sourcing and finishing the next E24 where I left this one. Tons more pictures of everything on Flickr if you want to take a look.

Re: My shit HDI - Dan! - 10-01-2012

Bought a car with a big dent in the back to replace a car with a big dent in the back :think: ninja

I look forward to your new BMW already. Ive been looking at buying an old (E28/E30) 3 series myself recently. Lovely looking cars and I bet they drive nicely, too.



Welcome Smile

Re: My shit HDI - Connor - 10-01-2012

:O thats a beauty, Id be majorly pissed if that happened to me! Glad youre gonna get it sorted though, HDi looks nice too

Re: My shit HDI - Jorge - 10-01-2012

Yeah, I have £4000 to find a replacement now, that is after buying and insuring a HDI, buying my car back etc too Smile

Got £6500 back from the insurance when I paid £3200 so can't complain. Now to sell my Style 32s, my Style 19s and a few other bits then order the 5inch rear lips for the OZ Mitos sat in my garage then rebuild those to 17x10 ET5ish and 17x11 ET-8. Cannot wait.

Re: My shit HDI - mark_airey - 10-01-2012

Jorge, good to see you around again, shame about the 6 series, it was nice! good luck on the hunt for a replacement!

Re: My shit HDI - 4WayDiablo - 10-01-2012

ahh the bimmers were nice! shame Sad

Re: My shit HDI - Jorge - 10-01-2012

Thanks, as the HDI boys seem to have moved over to here.

When looking for other maps, what is the number on the ECU I need? The thread off 306.net has disappeared along with the diesel section by the looks of it!

Re: My shit HDI - Foxy-jim - 10-01-2012

That beamer was lovely! Absolutely mint! WOuld have been so pissed off if that was me.

Re: My shit HDI - Poodle - 10-01-2012

That 635 is gorgeous :romance-hearteyes:

Hdi looks tidy fella, never know might rekindle your love for the 306...? lmao

Re: My shit HDI - Scott - 10-01-2012

Hey mate, good to see you on here! I was gutted for you when I saw the 635 (and I also noticed you know someone I know called Indy, he has a Mk3 golf VR6 with jetta front end conversion I believe). I'm glad to hear you're on the lookout for another, hopefully you'll get another minter.

Re: My shit HDI - Jorge - 11-01-2012

Always had a spot for then which is why I came back!

Thanks for comments on the e24. Yeah think that I know him off ab25 Scott.

Right, I let it go when I read it elsewhere yesterday, but not again!

An e28 is a 5 Series! haha Wink

Re: My shit HDI - Jorge - 11-01-2012

Haha I wanted to say the same but resisted.

Re: My shit HDI - Chris - 11-01-2012

Should have a 592 ecu, (same as mine whistle )

Re: My shit HDI - Jorge - 11-01-2012

Is it the last 3 digits, if so it is 502 unfort Sad

I really want to find someone with that.

Re: My shit HDI - Chris - 11-01-2012

Yea it is, but I've never seen a 502.
Does it have a single, or triple plug ecu?

Re: My shit HDI - Jorge - 11-01-2012

Ohhh, Foxy f*cked my account before I got banned first time and only just changed it back. One section that went missing was the diesel section and I'd be looking everywhere for that thread! Thanks !

Re: My shit HDI - Jorge - 11-01-2012

You're right though, it is 592.

It was just me trying to read the badly taken mobile picture wrong.

Re: My shit HDI - Chris - 11-01-2012

Thought as much as all Y plates on seem to have a 592 fitted.
