Right finally decided to do a project thread might be abit slow and up may contain alot of waffling.
soooo last winter after much thought and many recommendations, i decided to ditch my (in hindsight perfectly healthy and very good if not abit/very bouncy) 206 hdi
and after a lovely 10 hour round road trip with my step brother i had this badboi
unfortunately k14 and Lucas.
first job when i got back was the thermostat
that's fine no problem and halfords air filter because it was just a open inlet before.
then i find out the fricken bloody axles gone grrrr oh well an excuse to go discs, sooo against all recommendations i found a scrappy and got an axle and 4 cyclones £150 waahooooo until i took my car to a mates to do the work, where i hit my sump on his track
I stripped my old axle off where i also had to cut the brake lines ( amateur hour) and found out the scrappy axle was buggered as well.
soo ordered my gti refurb axle transferred all the brake bits. took it to the garage just oppersite my mates where they said they would do the lines (took them near 2 months).
i didnt know about the brake comp and one of the bearing hubs off the old axle was non abs WTF sooo that was a verryyy exciting drive. 2 months later got my car away from the god forsaken place and back home where i replaced the sump and bearing hub (both free ) in college.
now on to the the real shit, went splits on a doner car with my brother (who has a hdi) so we got a Bosch pump, GTI rear axle for him (although realized it was HDI half way through the swap), D8a engine, fresh Lucas, T2, HDI box and panther clutch, GTI brakes, FMIC and finally a set of cyclones with toyo r1's also for him.
fitted the brakes
tuned my Lucas not to bad 180 deg max fuel, 1ish turn on the comp getting 19PSI which all in all meant i could just about stay in front of brothers remapped hdi.
ive stripped every thing off the doner car ready for the engine swap leaving the HDI box on and going to put the bosch pump on then swap it all in a oner. then do the FMIC
ive ordered gti struts with 40mm lowering springs and a front ARB
any thoughts or recommendations? tyres?
also i have a large amount of random bits and bobs of this car if anyone wants anything
Jobs done
boost gauge, GTI axle, tune, GTI brakes, decat
Jobs to do
Refurb Cyclones, front suspension, GTI front ARB, good tyres, HDI box, engine swap, FMIC, Bosch pump, Strut brace, box mounted blower, stronger internals
