JIMBOS ph3 xud Rolling road results

[padge]

Mine needs more fuel, its turned down loads lol, just need to get head all done this week lookinggood dude.

[Jimbo]

Yeah defo need fuel to wake them up a bit, first drive mine was so dissapointed. Now I love it.
Cheers padge.

Might have to do my HG yet, will get a spare head skimmed up and possibly.some arp studs

[Poodle]

Yeah fuelling it fair on a 9mm pump, without a rev counter :/
Im gonna say 2200/2500 rpm so its not 'laggy' as such it is.off a petrol though so has a larger hotside which helps it keep pulling round if.u know what I mean.
Im pretty impressed and id estimate 150/60 bhp so around stage 2 hdi power.

Haha fair, ok cool, cheers. Just interested as i've got a 1749 off a DCi and thinking it might be a bit small on the hotside... Sod it, suck it and see eh!

[Jimbo]

She will certainly spool up well id imagine, run out of puff early though. Good in a compound setup though

[Jimbo]

So this old beast is still going ok a few thousand miles later. However have a few issues that really need sorting so hopefully some time over next.couple weeks will remove engine again.

Oil leak (think from high pressure turbo feed)
Headgasket/head lift issues (only when fuel/boost is up high
Rev counter (gonna change flywheel) have.checked everything else
Fit arp headstuds
Sort slight exhaust leak on turbo somehwere

Then it's mot time so get a new windscreen and fit my home refurbed axle

Fully stripped greased rebuilt with all new seals etc. Gti bars and arb




Also have tinted the top half of my rear lights slightly
Opinions welcome on these but.i think they look ok

[Frosty]

Look out jimbo got an update. Lights look pretty good and the axle looks very nice.

I did even get to have a drive in this the other day when jimbo was over and it does pull well tbf

[Piggy]

Ooo I like them lights...what method did you use?

Cheers mate, i knew the xud would make you smile


And piggy, its just some etech tint spray off ebay

I masked the bottom half up and just gave the top half a light coat, i think its easy to over do tinting too much looks crap IMO.

Light the light jimbo looking good will get the head of the spare engine this week for you when's the axel going in

[7057sam]

Beam looks sweet mate

[mr_fish]

I think you should lighten the wheel colour up a bit...

Else it's all looking rather well...seeing as it's a moonshine

Keen to pull the engine again!?

Keep thinking about wheel colour but can't make mind up, would be a shame to change from black being the factory finish is really nice plus there a bitch to clean.

Not that keen but is gotta be done so crack on i guess, i cant see me putting this much effort into anything again is a mission hahaha

[Jimbo]

Picked up my new wheels the other night really happy with the.condition and finish on paint, paid 100 quid with four maxxis victra ma-z1 tyres one track day old so like new. Will get pics when there on later hopefully.
Any love/hate for saxo wheels?

[Jimbo]

Fitted

[Damo]

Nice one bey

[mikey b]

Looks good

[Tom]

I like it, they're nice wheels i think

[Kezzieboy]

Looks tidy, and different to the usual clones/challengers/arianes etc!

[Matt]

Sweet wheels, always loved them. I've just done the same to my lights! £1 gloss black, job jobbed

[Jimbo]

Original plan was to do them white but i like the colour they are now, defo different which i like

Will space them out a little when i get two more spacers

[Jimbo]

Cheeky edit

[padge]

love vts rims! underrated wheels imo

[Jimbo]

Cheers guys, was expecting some serious hate then haha
I know there not gonna be to everyones taste, but i have always liked the shape of these

[ozonehostile]

Coming along nicely dude.

Those wheels look much better on a 306 than they do on a Saxo, fine choice sir

[Mac22]

Nice wheels bey

[7057sam]

Love the vts wheels especially in that colour

[Jimbo]

[Jimbo]

This happened! Not a bad result would have maybe been a.bit.better if i had a rev counter though.
Car is also being broken for parts now. Mot and tax is up,it needs a windscreen and i just cant see that its.worth doing so i have bought a ph1 to play with

[Jimbo]
