oil-burner's bitchin HDi project - soon to be stage 2!

[Oil-burner]

That's exactly my opinion on them! I love the wheels but not keen on the caps!
Gonna struggle to find replacements tho tbh!

[Matt]

They look so good in silver. They look similar to ford wheels. Could be worth seeing if the centre cap is the same?

[Oil-burner]

So we finally have a fan of my wheels!!! Lol

Cheers Matt

I thought that, the focus ST has similar caps but not sure if they'd fit
Plus I'd want to keep the pug badges!

My other option is to fill them with fibreglass then flat them back off!

[Matt]

Like these. But looking at them they look to big

[puglove]

Its the outer ring on the cap that spoils them. Pop the pug badge out . Mod them then stick the badge back on

---

Sprigot is smaller on ford so cap wont straight fit. Could be modded to fit. A lil cut n chop

[Oil-burner]

@matt don't forget they are 15"

Like I said that looks like my only option puglove, I'm spraying the lion graphite soon anyway so may have a look!

[Matt]

Get a spare and hack away.

[Oil-burner]

That's the only problem, they are a bitch to replace!
I'm goin to pug on Thursday topick up a few bits ill see how much

[puglove]

Go down the scrapper and have a look and a few test fits

[Matt]

This is what I was thinking, scrap yard!
Pug will be absolute ra*e for that!

[Oil-burner]

I'm at the scrappy tomorrow so I'll have a look!
Like I say tho I do want to keep the pug lions to keep it lookin OEM.
I'll see if I can find a spare cap to play with on eBay.

[Matt]

Hack the ring out and fibreglass it nice and smooth

[Oil-burner]

All I'd do is take them off, key them up from inside, fill it with fibreglass and matting then cut the coned bit off! I know I can do it, piece of piss but just worried they won't be strong enough!

[Matt]

I'm sure that would be alright. If not use some insane fibreglass lol

[puglove]

They sell those plasticy lion badges on ebay so you could put them on any center cap you like.

---

There are cheaper smaller ones but for example http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vie...0879200294

[Oil-burner]

Insane fibreglass, Care to elaberate? Lol
Should be alright I guess!

[puglove]

I deserve a reach around for this one! http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vie...1151948178

[Oil-burner]

Ooh nice! Not too bad for £9!
I'll have a pop tomorrow, if I feck it up ill order a new one.

Oh and whenever your ready pal, I don't put out on the first date tho, just to give you heads up! Lol

[puglove]

Haha so iv gotta take you out twice to get one ?

[kentiiboii]

I have a spare cap at my house. Only paid a couple quid. But don't wanna sell it cos I know some cheeky shit will nick the caps haha :p.

[Oil-burner]

Oh and can anyone see that 30-70 vid I posted? I can't see it!?

[Oil-burner]

Right minor update, 6000k hid's are on and headlight protectors are off.

Just thought I may aswell put my 750th post in my own thread!

I'm now "starting to live for the 306"

[Oil-burner]

Right not really posted in here for a while, not much has happened in the way of mods (or washing if you could see the state of it!) But I have been on ebay and bought a few things

Item 1 4x 37k 076 injectors, sick of mine ticking so thought id splash out.

Item 2 a nice shiny twin pass fmic! (Pick up tomorrow, cant wait!)

Item 3 a new crankshaft pulley (mine is fubar)

Item 4 ... na not really the mrs wont let me buy any more atm!


So the list now remains at

To buy
New duraterm glowplugs
Powerflex wishbone kit
Powerflex bottom engine mount
Boost gauge
406 inlet elbow
C5 bottom pipe
Random other bits of pipework I can mash together
New berlingo clutch

To do
De coke inlet manifold
Solid rear beam mounts
Possibly colour code spoiler??
Get smooth bonnet painted up
Fit fmic
Refurb the aidels
Smooth centre caps
Get dent man to fix the 2 new dents in my wings (thanks to a day at alton towers!)
Maybe swap stainless for standard exhaust
Stage 2 the motherfecker!!!

Hopefully a good part of the list will be done by fcs 13 but we'll see!

[Arron]

Plans are good mate I'm keeping an eye on this

[Matt]

I have a powerflex bottom mount I'll sell you.


Plus Samass is selling the wishbone bushes I sold him a while back


All brand new stuff

[samass]

Powerflex lower engine mounts are win! Had one on Irene, very solid, with little vibration on idle.

oh and my bushes might be sold to Sean, just gotta hear back.

Thanks for the plug tho Matt

Yeah ive heard good things about them, mine is about shagged so thought I may aswell do it properly.

Which ones are they sam front or back? Believe its the rear ones that are expensive at about £70 but ive seen the pack of 4 (2x front and back) on rude racing for bout £100 so may go that route.

[samass]

I've only.got the front ones, the backs are crazy pricey, that set for a ton all in a steal tho! Extra castor with the powerflex rears too /eddoooooooooowwwwwwwwwww

Yeah, say 130 for bottom engine mount and front and back wishbone bushes isnt too bad when you look at spending £30 a corner on new bones

[samass]

Exactly man. Then you just the arse of getting the old bushes out lol
