Diablo D Turbo

[Fozzy]

Looking good, you definitely need to lower it now........

[vlj]

We need a pic!

yo dec. you checked out dat ass in one of the photos above? hock:

I didn't mean to get Amie in it.. The focus was meant to be on the car guys!

+ john, eventually.soon.
fog lights are in properly now too!

[Eeyore]

Amie eh? enlighten us!

[declantg]

Pics or its a passer by...

[vlj]

Amie eh? enlighten us!

This is meant to be about my poor car!

[Fozzy]

Don't feed the trolls, lol

Did you get help doing it then or did she just come out to tell you to stop spending more money on the car?

[vlj]

Yeah she came out to help fix the broken mounts on the fogs - we managed to fix all of them and get them all back in place and screwed in.

[vlj]

She didn't really enjoy turning on this morning. The engine always starts up with the turn of the key, and no smoke out the back - this morning it took a few starter motor turns before a massive cloud of white smoke. The poor old gal!

Pictures of the dying beast:

Bognor Regis feelin' the sun!


Amie trying to get rid of scratches on my car






dodgy fog fittings holla


obviously the diablo is the better of the two

[vlj]

Small update again:
Proving that 306's are better than 206's - especially shitty modified ones like a guy that works for me!



Today I set about gaying out and painting my callipers. I'm mechanically retarded so I kept them on whilst painting and just cheated and painted the bits you can see =D







Also worked out: don't get hammerite on your hands. it's really difficult to get off even with white spirit

[Fozzy]

You should have used a smaller brush and a smaller wire wheel, would have made things much easier and you wouldn't have needed the newspaper

[puglove]

Looking good bud

[Scott]

Is that a pink mini next to the 206 as well? :?

Looks much better painted

The newspaper was pretty much for my own safety - but yeah I realised I needed a smaller brush straight away and the wire brush was a pain in the ass - still, I got it done one way or another :p Not sure I actually like the red though, starting to think I should've done it black or silver oops

Haha, yes it is. Seriously wasted money

Customary beach shot!

Did I miss something? You've lost me :p

Got a hold of a set of diablo ph3 rub strips, but need to order some clips for them before I can fit them, also fitting black masks at the weekend so my ph3 transformation is nearly complete!

ive got loads of trim clips that i took off my old car before it was scrapped. Probably got enough if you wanted them.

Yeah she came out to help fix the broken mounts on the fogs - we managed to fix all of them and get them all back in place and screwed in.

did you make sure that the nipples were well greased when you did the brakes?

How much do ya want and how quickly can you post?

I always ensure correct lubrication is applied before undertaking such a task.


Hopefully next week I can spray the badge black and tidy up some more of the scratches.

[vlj]

Picked up some goodies from Ed's broken GTi6, dropped off by Scott and Grant this morning: hello replacement wing

Parts:



Amie refitting the headlight adjusters


And its off!


To remove the wing I didn't need to use a drill like everyone else has said, just a flatblade screwdriver and some force got the rivets out.

Will get some pictures of the stuff fitted in a bit when I get the hockey sticks back in straight.

[vlj]

bumper was just hanging on but you get the idea:

[Eeyore]

Waooohhh all that dirt under the wing? Are you missing the arch liners too. PM me if youre still after trim clips!

[ginge191]

@ mark! (it's because the picture is on it's side, the tyres clinging on, optical illusion........)

nice little motor this, and interesting to see the mrs? doing the work for you?! fair one!

sseriously needs some lows!

[Scott]

It would be you to comment on that!

Good meeting you earlier mate That's swift progress getting the wing on! Did it line up okay on the bottom of the sill? How is the colour match?

Yeah you too. It was alright to line up, we got it on first time but had to bring part of it back off to line the crystals in properly.. The hockey sticks won't go back in properly but I'll find a way to make them go in some how.

The sill isn't actually bent though, the wing went like.. underneath the sill and that was what bent, the only thing that was bent (other than the wing) because of the accident was 2 of the bolt holders for the wing, but I just moved them back into place, the rest of it went in okay.

I'm not sure why everyone seems to be drilling the rivets out though, they came out with just a screwdriver on the underside of the wing and a little bit of force - the hardest one I found was the one next to the bonnet near the windscreen.

[Dave]

Needs more engine work doing to it!

[vlj]

Got the red side strips fitted without breaking ANY clips, proud of myself because I have no patience at all.





Edit: my bonnet isn't broken, just wasn't closed properly :p

[vlj]

More with a camera that actually works.. think I'm going to spray the bonnet badge black today! Exciting updates...




+80mm highs!


clean car!


despite the seat only being on 7k miles (yes 7k), the 306 is still so much more enjoyable to drive!
