Really really really really really really really want this car.


really really.

[aggyj17]

Haha well unfortunately it isn't for sale atm but glad that you like it :-)
I'm having to much fun atm

[1616six]

Its awesome mate, one of my favourite cars on here. Subtle.

I know I've said it before but as & when you do come to sell it please do give me a shout as I'm only 20 mins away and would love this.

[aggyj17]

Finally goty peugeot partner centre caps gave them a spray of satin black.

[1616six]

Just need to give the rim a fresh lick of white!

[aggyj17]

Yes definitely need to. I'm going to put the alloys on over winter so when these come off there going to get a refurb but not sure if I should change the colour.

[aggyj17]

Bit of an update got some yellow tinting film and decided to wrap the fogs first time I've used the stuff and it came out pretty well.



Also got a square numberplate for the front



Got them on today and also got the foglights working








Only got one decent surround for the fogs atm. Ones held in by a screw and a grinded down washer seems to be held in fairly secure but I'm on the lookout for one if anyone has a spare.

In love with this build!!

[Kezzieboy]

Selling the berlingo centre caps...? Car looks win!

[aggyj17]

I dunno if I want to sell the caps I was thinking about swapping and changing now and again lol.

[1616six]

Think I prefer the berlingo ones in all honesty!

[aggyj17]

Well bit of an Update on this. Went to see jenksowls and got a 11mm conversion and OMG what a diffrence that has made this car is absolutly insane!!!! Well got it home and was running it for a couple of days and then this happened





Not ideal and there suppose to be hdi rods aswell. Can anyone confirm this? I havent got the lump out yet but already have a replacement block and have started stripping it down also have another headgasket coming.

So tomorrow i am going to pull the engine out of the car as i need my pump, turbo, clutch and arp studs for the new engine

[Piggy]

Hope nothing has blown into the turbo

Hdi rods are not unbreakable just less likely.

[aggyj17]

I think the turbo is ok i stuck my hand down the coldside and it still spins freely with no play. Also snapped the camshaft aswell so all valves might have closed and stopped anything goin down there lol

[Chris_90]

They was definitely hdi rods here's the picture when I compared them before swapping them



Can see it's a little bigger on the little end.

[procta]

what a bastard! hope its back in business soon! the stance looks mustard!

[aggyj17]

Got the lump out today didnt do any damage to the ancileries apart from a hole in the fan but will still work fine.











Not long till its back boosting just got to build up the new block

[Toms306]

What a mess!

[Chris_90]

That's crazy!! What rpm did it let go? Never seen damage to that extent

[aggyj17]

Was around 4k in 2nd gear for did go with a bang

[Paul_13]

Proper job!

[madwelshman]

oops :-O

[madwelshman]

What sort of boost were you running to throw a rod like that?

[aggyj17]

Running 30 psi on hdi rods with a td04 and 11mm pump. I got a feeling the cam snapped and took the bottom end with it but ill never know lol

[madwelshman]

Ouch all the same. Bet there was a hell of a bang! lol (sorry, not laughing at your expense)

[aggyj17]

Yea did go with a bang lol. Dont worry mate i see the funny side of things. When it did go bang there was a sudden " oh shit" then had to see the funny side its to be expected at some point on a xud. Being pissed of isnt going to fix it.

[aggyj17]

Been cracking on with this got another block built up with hdi rods in. All in and nicely painted starts well but it has hot a hole in the radiator so need a new one :-(



The only pic I have

[Frosty]

Good work mate. Glad to see you have stuck at it and cracked on getting another engine in

[Piggy]

Looks nice n tidy
