Engine donor dodging, mile munching HDI

[allye]

Alright party people, bored of updates on a nearly standard diesel yet?

So after I rebuilt the master cylinder the cylinder plunger was further out for some reason causing the brakes to lock on, so ended up chucking a new one on, job done. Also stuck in another alternator as the original had died whilst being parked up. Removed this bugger too.



Cleaned up the vacuum system, got rid of all the silly connectors and plastic hoses as well as EGR gubbins.





Chopped the pattern droopy pea shooter off and fitted a OE-ish looking tail pipe.



After being shunted around the yard for for a few weeks doing the above work it was left looking very sorry for itself!

So today set about giving it a good once over. Sad levels of cleaning today!





As you can see from the above pictures I've fitted a phase 3 spoiler and front splitter which has transformed the car!

QUESTION NUMBER 1 for you lot, assuming these boot and under seat holes are for drainage?




QUESTION NUMBER 2, after the clutch change I was expecting a lighter pedal, entire clutch system in gear box was throughly cleaned and greased so should be, can cable cause a heavy pedal? The BE box in my 205 is feather light with a manual cable.

Not sure if I'd mentioned it yet but got a stage 1 map on it now, don't need to preach to you lot what a difference that makes, using a drop of 2 stroke now too so all in all with no cat or EGR he's very happy!

Plans going ahead now include;

- some extra proofing throughout.
- a light stereo install, components and a under seat sub.
- paint front valance, bonnet and rear bumper.
- fit tasteful steering wheel on a spacer for my long legs.
- do something with front seats/moving drivers further back and lower.
