Let him have his moment Tom, classic hare & tortoise situation arising here..

As in the rallye will storm past everytime hes pulled over to re-atach a boost hose / tighten down the head / fiddle with the arduino

[Piggy]

Mines a base figure boyo

Now i can get all those bits tidied up now

Wouldn't buy a supercharger though mate. They are utter shit when you could just buy a DT! In fact, what are you still doing with a petrol engine in there? Everyone knows petrol is shit

[Matt-Rallye]

Oh no i would never ever buy a charger.. screw petrols im just gonna tune the nuts off my hdi

[Piggy]

Laugh, joke, ban me.

Figures speak for themselves.


Still, great figures for you there matt, I was genuinely surprised, shows how good these motors are really I guess if maintained etc

[welshpug]

post up the curves and numbers matt, would br interested to see where the power and torque are.

forgot about those bolts again!

[Matt-Rallye]

Uploading some pics now

Yes you disappeared! I WILL sort those wheel bolts out dude, drop me a text!

An update in pictures:

Brembos now fitted and squealing well

288mm Xantia V6 discs:





And behind the new wheels awaiting powdercoat and tyres



Finally convinced my friend John to buy a HDi Dturbo, Few of you have met him and he will be signing up shortly i believe







Everyone loves beading right?

[Matt-Rallye]

Dropping some drive flanges off at a local engineering firm to have a few thou skimmed off the drive face

I WILL solve this damn squealing or at least get it bearable!

[Orta]

Those comps look awesome mate what colour r they going?

im so keen to see the results of this

[welshpug]

looking at how it makes the numbers the cams must be a little advanced, which would explain a little more torque and it peaking well before a standard engine tends to, and the nosedive!

should punt along quite well on the 6 speed box.

They will be going white most likely, starting to regret selling my other ones though and they would of been perfect for the brembo brake clearance

Im keen to HEAR the results of this Ade @ HMS engineering is confident he can sort it

Cheers fella that ZX made good power i thought!

Yeah she must be abit advanced, makes the power right at the top of the range. If you compare my graph to zakks you can see hes on peak power alot earlier than i am which i think is why his is actually quicker than mine even though im making better figures

Advancing the cams brings the power band down the rev range, giving increased mid-range at the expense of top-end much as yours looks to have.

Peak power with standard timing should be around 6500rpm, whereas yours is more like 6000rpm and power is tailing right off after that.

Work shall begin in earnest on this in the coming weeks now the shinies hoard is growing

Me want update! I need inspiration to go out in the cold to work on mine

[Matt-Rallye]

Not gonna give the game away but its mostly suspension and brake related upgrades along with MOT preparation ready for january

[Dum-Dum]

I tore the ligaments in my ankle to avoid fixing my rallye.

[Niall]

I tore the ligaments in my ankle because i was acting like a excited spastic on day release.

so true!

Back on topic... Shinies hoard just got a whole lot bigger

[7057sam]

Ben on here machined grooves into he's and they worked a treat.

Comp look lovely buddy

Funny you should mention ben and his machined discs

[Matt-Rallye]

MOT prep started in earnest now

Ordered parts so far:

2x delphi 18mm balljoints
2x droplinks
2x track rod ends

Parts still needed:

Working throttle body
Rear axle

Work still needed:

Welding
MOT

[Frosty]

What welding is needed on it?

[7057sam]

What welding is needed on it?

Chassis leg/jacking point ??

Nothing so sinister guys! its got a hole in the passenger side front floorpan caused by my f*cking retarded friend knocking it off a jack last year just needs a small patch over the hole then the whole underside shall be undersealed for abit of future proofing

[Frosty]

Ah not to bad then

[Matt-Rallye]

Throttle body sorted along with new wishbones, new droplinks and TRE's and tracking done drives lovely! just need to sort a rear axle and shes having welding this weekend i hope.
