My HDi

[Adam Canning WSG]

The day i brought her home from ballymena
   

De-wipered, De-Badged, windows tinted to 15% visability and 2.5" Decat/De-backboxed stainless steel pipe too 3" tip
   

Lowered on 60mm saxo springs and 2 nicks at torsion bar, xenon max lights installed
   

3 leg spoiler w/brake light added, eyebrows added, diesel filler cap strips wrapped blue, break calipers have since been painted blue, but this is how she sits today

Bang tidy !!!

cheers mate, got a splitter on there now has perfect clearance for local police station curb.. also some guy reversed into my side, must get a pic of it up

next thing on the list is to have my recently ordered £600 worth of parts fitted, currently have: fmic setup with pipework (c5 bottom pipe and 406 inlet elbow), an oil catch tank, 13 row mocal oil cooler, manual boost controller, 2x 10" slimline fans, boost gauge (bar), oil temp gauge, and oil pressure gauge, also have my hands on a near enough brand new TD04 turbo straight out of a subaru impreza, when all that is fitted and tested, stage 2 remap is a go! going to drive easy until i can afford a helix clutch kit

[puggyhdi]

Fair bit of work to go then mate iv got a lot of plans for mine just having the money, was thinking of getting a another engine, to have custom intake/exhaust manifold and bigger turbo.

[1616six]

Those spoilers are awful, lose that along with the silly eyebrows & twatflaps and it would look alright

[Poodle]

Says the kid driving a vectra? GTFO.

Not to my taste bud, but looks like you take care of her, nice to see something different.

[Stephen]

I'm liking the car and the plans!
Have many people on here gone down the hdi bigger turbo route?

[Just Sean]

Hi mate. Plans sound good. I've fitted a helix paddle to mine, am going to be running a ko3s hybrid turbo with external waste gate and screamer pipe!

[Adam Canning WSG]

Are the k03s hybrids dear? And know where abouts i could order one online? Not sure what turbo to go with atm, friend is holding a td04 with 31k miles and no play for me atm, but hes lookin £120

[Jonny81191]

I've looked into the TD04 route and IMO you want to have a bit of a re-think there, research the flow rates and efficiency, but also consider what boost you intend to run. If you're not looking at going beyond stage 2, I'd even question whether you need a bigger snail, mine is still on a standard K03 at 19psi and is making plenty of power.

IMHO, Don't get too hung up on turbo choices, do the other "supporting" mods first, you can still make plenty of boost for now and then once you have it sorted you can decide whether to fit a bigger turbo or not..

[puglove]

Just a little tip mate, you could get it that low on 306 -60mm gti springs and it would handle a hell of alot better, as the car is wayyyyy to heavy for those saxo springs,


Looks good though mate, brow's and filler cap isnt to my taste but the rest is spot on, the lows is nice and not well over done

[Eeyore]

Brows and filler cap aren't great. Been there done that so each to their own. Plans sound good!

[Adam Canning WSG]

cheers lads, TD04L-13T purchased thinking about removing the sticker on the front window and smoothing the bootlid, opinion?

WIN

[Adam Canning WSG]

okay, so ive all the bits and bobs i need for stage 2, apart from 1 thing.. the clutch, but they all seem very overpriced, im looking something to handle 275lb+ of torque, but not looking to spend over £200.. does this sound realistic? ive looked at helix's, sachs' and lux's but there all very expensive.. also, can somebody link me to a good clutch to buy please? thanks

[Adam Canning WSG]

so aye, got everything ready to rock now, being left into mechanics on sunday night, should be ready in a week or 2, then saving for remap, this should be wise

[kingy]

[rickye]

Thanks lad, i dont understand the sense in puttin er on er tits tbh, very impracticle and just makes the car look like scrap lol, going another nick and getting coilovers soonish, but going to lower it just enough to remove wheel gap, as the drive comfort is important to me

[rickye]

aye, its not uncomon, i bought a set of saxo's for my old miami blue car, when i sold it back to my mate he fitted them and it was about the same height as yours, nearly higher than when it was on 60 dturbo's

3 nicks is the only way, just dont cut bumpstops, mine are and its the height of 4 nicks atm with a boot full
