Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX.

[Matt-Rallye]

Hi all,

Been a while since i was actively posting on here after pugfest due too changing jobs etc so heres my new daily drive...


Tis Razorback Robs old X reg 5dr HDi LX in Moonstone

Here it was the day i picked it up:



It now has the following good bits:

Stage 1 map (smokey)
Hoffman decat
Straight through exhaust
GTi6 front brakes
GTi6 frot suspension
Sachs gas rear dampers

And the bodywork is suprisingly tidy for a 192k base model HDi



So after a week of driving it with a shitload of knocking suspension and really soggy rear suspension me and zakk got it in his workshop on the ramp for a goold ol 306 themed evening!



Decat:



New shockers:



And we found all the knocking to be from a threaded bolt on the drivers side wishbone! All sorted now zakk even found the time too graffiti my car...



After it performing so well following this i decided to treat it too a small scrub up...









Looks alot better than how it usually looks



So as always i want more power and more essentially, more driveability! With me now working for a breakers yard its alot easier to come across parts ad alot cheaper if i want them for myself! So far the plan is to make a cheapo stage 2+ VNT setup and cobble it together and see whats possible and how reliable it is.

Managed to grab some bits from a 406 HDi that came in.



Cleaned up and decoked inlet elbow:



Got a few more odds and sods but no pics yet.
