The bought not built estate

[Frosty]

Good job man, it's almost like watching my project thread go back in time, refitting the interior and making her look/feel more standard. I like that you're going a bit more sleeper with it! Are you going to refit the grille?

I bought a complete bumper off dangti6 so I can just swap them over if I wise though I love the 'lairy' intercooler. Want to find another Laguna splitter to put on the bumper with the grill though to save having to swap that.

Went out in this the other night after frosty gave me a hand fitting an engine into the kingfisher

Gets a thumbs up from me

Sounds win, goes well, looks ace

Glad you liked it. Hopefully be inspiration for your estate

Not a massive amount happening to this. But i have managed a few bits. I went up to see matt rallye last Saturday to pick up a set of nimrods in decent condition. It was my first chance to go for a nice long drive in the car and on the motorway it really is lovely to drive and not even that loud when cruising given the fact about the 3" exhaust. Any way got the wheels and standard issue i got them fitted when i got back down to work



As much as i liked it on the black clones i much prefer it on the nimrods though it does give a bit harder ride.

Other than that not much has changed to the car. Im currently stripping down and rebuilding a beam to get fitted. Not that there is anything wrong with the 1 on it but got the beam cheap and can give it a bit of paint plus i can use the 21mm bars from it for the dt. I did pick up some solid rear mounts from sam that will prob get fitted to the beam when i fit it



Nothing else really new to report. I just need to save up for a bit of money and make some phone call so i can get an uprated clutch and then look about more power

Love the look of this on nimrods

[Daniel306]

How are the bulbs? got a link to them?

TBH there still pretty crap, can not see a thing out the back when reversing but the lights are tinted so i don't think that helps

I got more more expensive 1s but these are similar

May as well chuck a few pics up of it at the south west meet we had the other week











Not much new other than i changed the steering wheel to a black omp 1 that popped up on facebook. I liked the blue steering wheel but it just showed the dirt to much. I have also got a new clutch now than should be able to hold a bit more power hopefully and will see about fitting that over Christmas all being well

What spacers have you got on the oregons? My fronts are direct fit but sit in by about 30mm and the rears I had to put 10mm spacers on to clear the arch liners.

20mm all round

ah okay gdgd. It was my understanding that oregons from a 406 were direct fit and nimrods from a 206 needed spacers. Looks like I was wrong and both need spacers :/

The 1s I got come off a 206. I'm just using the spacers that come on it that were on when the clones were on

Few little bits and bobs have happened to this. As some of you saw im having clutch issues at the moment as with the CG clutch i bought the engine wouldn't turn over due to the pressure plate jamming on the diff housing in the gearbox. I've sent to back to CG and there meant to be having a look at it. Anyway i had the engine out to do a few other bits on it over Christmas including the clutch but i had to put it back in with a standard hdi clutch.

I did get my hands on another clutch last weekend. A CG 5 paddle sprung with has only done about 500 miles i was told. Im pretty tempted to fit that instead of the unsprung 1 but i see what CG have to say



Got my hands on some door cards to match my seats so i got them fitted last night. I had to put grommet in the rear cards where the hole for the window winders usually is





Got these alpine speakers fitted in the front as well





Hopefully i will be changing the clutch next weekend so more updates to come

[Frosty]

Got this back up together and driving now, hadn't driven it for well over a month. I fitted the 5 paddle sprung clutch in the end. Its pretty nice to drive with though it slips a bit but im hoping it just cuz it hasn't bedded in yet. One other thing it doesn't seem to like to go into first very well which im not sure why as its fine when the engine is off.





Have been driving it all week and it got in a fair state



Gave it a clean and a few of us popped along to a meet at Exeter last night. We did our bit of the 306s with 5 us of there plus Fish in his 206 which he left his mark on my front bumper

Got to get rid of this flipping astra first. But I'm tempted to get an estate and turn it into my work van??

[Jimbo]

That would be win damo, tinted windows
Enough room for tools and kids, and a remap, and straight pipe, and 60mm, and clones

[Damo]

Way cheaper than a van aswell as still being practical

Sorry only just seen this. Jonny fitted it, I would guess thats where he got it from. Really does finish the rear end off nicely 

[Jonny81191]

Yeah, it's an ecosse spoiler. took AGES to arrive

I like that frosty! can you not paint the intercooler just to hide it? make it really sleeper!

[Frosty]

I have got another bumper with the grill in but need to sort a splitter for it to save swapping them over. I have a gti6 splitter but it needs a bit of repairing. Though i do look the 'lairy' look with the intercooler

It certainly dosen't sound like a sleeper though with the exhaust anyway lol

[vinny]

the cars looking good m8 theirs definately something cool about souped up estate cars

doesn't have to be, as chavs just think its an estate with a big bore on, Its the power that count, You will get some chav in a corsa, that will sit off the arse end of it. I have had that with mine, Got a nasty shock when I left him going up hill!

Yeah i suppose. I do need to get round to trying to sort the splitter for the spare bumper

Been driving this a fair bit recently due to not wanting to drive the dt to much with the turbo how it was. Anyway the clutch still seems to slip a bit. Once it has seemed to slip once or twice it then seems to hold find so not sure why. Its a lot better once its warmed up.

Had sometime on the weekend to spend on the 306s.




Not much as changed to the car though really though on the weekend i took the front brakes off and gave them a good clean and lick of fresh paint to tidy them up. Also fitted some new discs due to getting some brake judder which was starting to get pretty bad.



I have been collecting nimrods pretty well as well. My plan is to have a set paint white hopefully when i get round to it and keep another set silver



2 sets plus another set on the car
