[Louis123]

To do list; (to date)

- 60mm springs

There the next few things to do at the moment as I've just paid for a holiday for me and the mrs to turkey all inclusive

[Louis123]

Fitted LED dash and clock lights, just need abit altering to get rid of bright spots and to fit red LED's to the milometer and clock then that bits done didnt realise it was so much hard work to change the colour of these on 306's by sanding of all the tinted orange film on the back etc etc.. anyway heres how they look there xenon white

[Louis123]

Been doing abit of carbon wrapping on exterior today, gave her a full wash And quick demon shine polish, I've added a few stickers aswel











Comments and criticism welcome

[Bananalad]

Paint is tasty, only after doing mine! Would love to get in that line of work! I like the carbon its subtle

[Louis123]

Cheers mate

[Bananalad]

Just noticed how dark the tail lights are Is that safe?

[Louis123]

Yeah as I did them myself I made sure I didn't do them a thick film as you can still see the lights clearly even in the day, I'll get a picture of them tomorrow, it's like there not even tinted when there on they are that clear even asked the MOT'et at Qwik fit and he checked and said there was about 85% light showing so its all good

[mark_airey]

Liking the progress..................the rear lights are same amount of tint as mine by the looks of it, they work fine, but................kwik fit lie.................you have to have a red rear facing reflector for the MOT technically which you now don't, most "friendly local MOT test station's" will let you off Just a heads up for you!

[Louis123]

Cheers mate but as I painted mine will lacquer with a 5% tint of solid black then flatted and polished them you can still see the reflectors

So got my front mount intercooler fitted on Sunday with the help of Ash23 and his pal Ash and my pal Ash lol, not had the time until now to post pictures though!!

Anyway here's a few pictures of the day enjoy..


Bumper off



Top mount off





New front mount intercooler






Lining her up



More pictures in next message!


Also got a new air filter on her off Ash23, a pipercross one, its much better than the crappy cone one I had

Car is currently running 20psi but pulls so much better than how it has ever done, it sounds alot more amazing! and the dump valve sounds so much better..

There is alot of cleaning to do in the engine bay now and general tidying up

Going to replace all the black sillicone hoses with a different colour and polish all the metal up

Also need to go back to Ash23 one day to do my exhaust, having the mid box cut out and stainless pipe as replace, it already has a decat on and unsure what to do with back box, also while im down there he's maxing the fuel and boost I think even though I am very happy with the power at the minute but it just feels a little dead top end revvs. More fuel the answer?


Cheers for looking!..

Something was in the way I guess..






Cut the grill out and here's how she looks

---

And how the engine bay is at the moment






And one last cheeky one

[ash23]

will look sweet when you've gave them pipes a pollish and got some shiny bits
it was a good day doing it but by far the most shitty to fit along with the inlet/ exhaust gasket lol

[Ricky]

In regards to your comment about having no power at higher revs, the answer to that is a gov modded Bosch.

[Louis123]

Very gay French car!

[Dum-Dum]

Needs yellow silicones off the cooler mate.

[CJ_Derv]

Lou....I should have the suspension off gold car somepoint soon, iirc its Pi 40mm Drop if your interested springs and shocks they are quite solid tbh as new car came with coilys. Progress is good, get a bosch on it u will love it then,

Exhaust wise i had a twin straight through exhaust and looking back now ive got full stainless with just backbox its much nicer sound with a box and still get wrasp when turbo under load

CJ

[Louis123]

How much you looking for them mate? And twin exhaust you had? Ever take a trip down to trafford cruise on a friday night?! Sure ive seen that blaze one down there with twin exhaust before!! Yeah ive got a full stainless at the mo but its got a middle box in think im just guna cut that out and have stainless welded in so would be straight through onto a stainless backbox should sound abit louder hopefully

[Louis123]

Ordered new gear linkage rods as this was why the AA had to sort it out the rubber joints was shagged, got the race rally ones which are steel i think so they dont wear out, also got a quickshift kit same as this one
http://www.griffiths-engineering.co.uk/

Anyone got one of these fitted? If so what do you think?

---

Spent all day sunday cleaning/painting/polishing the car up heres a few pictures of my work

Fitted my new boost gauge


Cleaned up the engine bay and painted slam panel gloss black




Painted the little door strip things as they was looking tatty



Painted the scuttle panel and wiper arms


Sorry got no inside pictures
Want to change the silicone pipes under the bonnet for the front mount but struggling to measure up and order off ebay? Any easier way of getting new ones lol?

Next couple of things for now:
- lower it 40mm or 60mm depending on what springs i buy
- refurb alloys and paint them (unsure on colour)? Reccomendations?
- change silicone pipes for blue ones
- fit quickshift and new race rally gear linkages

Gears should hopefully be alot tighter and better with them fitted!

Cheers

[Louis123]

By turning the boost comp down i know reduces smoke but will it imrove mpg like i might turn it down during the week whilst driving 60miles a day to work and ten back up again at weekend, does it make a difference or should i just leave it wound out? And how far out is best?

[Tom]

I was told all the way in then a 1/4 out... Then you make it up with more max fuel.. Hope that helps
Car looks spotless btw, have you noticed the difference the fmic has made?

[Louis123]

You sure 1/4 of a turn out?? :S

[ash23]

every pump is different so just saying a 1/4 turn out and itll do cant be said yes it may have worked for you. but any way only a 1/4 turn out would be complete poo as you want it max just wack the max fuel all the way then adjust the boost comp till your happy with how it goes / smoke / mpg but i still get 45-50mpg outa mine mate so unlees you are planting it every were it i wouldnt worry about it.

[davalav]

Awesome thread mate. I have my self a blaze yellow 306 too! Great colour, but mine has been neclegted as of late.

---

Just a quick question on spraying. I am rather handy with cans, and I have got my self some spray guns and will be buying the compressor and relevent equipment.

I am wondering what type of paint you used? Mica? etc.. preparations and final mixing. I am struggling to find any where that sells blaze at a reasonable price.

Cheers!

[CJ_Derv]

Louis you big fag!! whats happenin uve gone awefully quiet on here ??? Come on when these extra nods happenin push the boat out lad haha

[Nikolov_BG]

Nice car mate!I'm gonna do the samo on my car and I have some qustions
Are the HDI rods stronger than the stock?What boost will you run on TD04?What's diameter of the exhaust?Can you post some pics of fitting the oil cooler and the catch can?(when you do it) Will you put a HDI gearbox?
