106 NAD Progress not Project

[pugtk]

why did you ever sell the hdi 306, remember seeing that on pug306 a few years ago,seemed like a bit of work went into it???

giving problems??

[Dan!]

I think it was something to do with it breaking down at least once every time he drove it

[Jonny81191]

There's nowt wrong with it, it's as reliable as you'd ever want! (just needs a clutch)

Wrong HDi..................its squashed into a box

[Jonny81191]

I did think that after I posted

BTW, YHPM.

That's pretty common on 106's, my GTI was pretty solid but it did need 2 little patches, one was about 2" by 1/2", and one was about an inch square...

[Ed Doe]

I dread to think what condition my nad is in....

Stil.... more lightness I spose!!

You say that but even 1mm steel plate feels thicker than the standard bodywork and as theres gotta be an overlap its gotta be more weight.

[Dan!]

I think he means less weight if he doesnt fix it

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah now i re-read that I think you might be right.


I am working on lightness. unnecessary brackets, spare wheel and that sort of stuff have been removed. Got some perspex in the garage so I might do the rear windows.

rust is lighter than carbon fiber and all that..........

Yeah but my NAD is lighter than pretty much any other car on the road anyway far less in "race spec".

The plate under the bonnet says:

1- 720kg
2- 690kg


So i assume its around the 700kg mark as standard.



Really would like to get it down to 600-650kg for lolz.

[Dum-Dum]

So yesterday I de-wipered the boot as it didnt work anyway, de-badged the rear end and removed all the side strips, they came off surprisingly even for the fudge wheel but the difference in paint colour behind is massively different.

Also more on the rust repairs. These have now had a quick blast of black to protect them till i can get the welder on them.

Oh and it turns out 306 rear dampers fit so i may bolt on my ta technics rear shocks.

[Niall]

Classy repair.

[lewisdmz]

dewiper

You literally cannot help yourself can you

[Fozzy]

The scary thing i think that would pass an MOT. Apparently if the rust cannot be seen as in a plate to hide it they cannot remove the plate to see what is beneath it. Permanent fix if you ask me.

Yeah the plates are getting welded mate. I have borrowed a welder already so will do it at the weekend. cycling to work for a couple of days this week anyway so shouldnt be too much of an issue.

[Niall]

Did you make it home with no coolant? Haha

[Dum-Dum]

Of course. Nads are indestructable

[samass]

hah
that was epically funny to see it bleeding all over the floor!

[Dum-Dum]

hah
that was epically funny to see it bleeding all over the floor!

yeah yeah. i love my nad.



Not alot of men with a big red NAD the size of mine.

[samass]

lolz.
my NAD used to be bigger, then a man had to take it away on a truck

[Ed Doe]

Mine's bigger than yours :roll:

[Dum-Dum]

Got 4 306 steels ordered and paid for off ebay so just got to wait for them to turn up now.

Total was £76.95 posted (from different sellers) and I just gotta paint them and find tyres.

Anyone got any decent 195/45R15 part worns?

[WiNgNuTz]

Shame, I've got a set of harriers in the garden, with about 5-6mm on all the tyres that you could have had for £40! probably heavier than the steels though I suppose.

Oh and at your rust repairs, quality stuff! :handgestures-thumbupright:

[silverzx]

I can see you getting carried away with this and planning to "bodge a 1.9 in" which will lead to a lot more..

[Dan!]

£80 for 4 steels with no tyres?! :think:

[mark_airey]

£80 for 4 steels with no tyres?! :think:

This thought did pass through my head also........even £10 each would have been expensive IMO!

[Dan!]

If you factor in £20 per tyre your thenn looking at over £150, could get cyclones with good tyres for that Not that anybody actually wants cyclones, do they?

[Kezzieboy]

Yeah, that's pretty damn steep, mine were delivered without tyres for £50iirc, I assume they're 15s?
