Curt's Phase Win® Diablo GTi-6

[puglove]

Team Diablo?

OOOOOOOh yes

Havent you heard ??????? Diablo owners are just pure WIN

[Curt]

Changed the gearbox, clutch and bushes at the weekend. Bit of a pain in the arse but got there in the end. Drives much nicer, but the clutch is still heavy?! It was light at first, but after 10 miles it's heavy again. Any ideas? I've changed the 'box, genuine clutch kit, new cable, gearbox bushes and greased the ends of the clutch fork shaft. Not impressed! Gear change feels much better though.

Also, got a price for new lower arms from Peugeot... Anyone care to guess how much?





   




Oh and got something exciting arriving tomorrow

[Niall]

mine was exactly the same. Kris fitted a genuine valeo to mine. was really light on the way home and after a few short drives it was heavy again....no where near as heavy as the old one and actually pretty perfect i think. might just be a characteristic of the gti clutch? also, you would be supprised at how much of a difference a new genuine cable makes. i fitted one to my 1.8 a few months after the new clutch and it made a world of difference! gti ones are only £45 from peugeot.

oh oh what shiny things you getting?
also, if you need new wishbones, get Mele HD ones. there £125 a set and have never seen anyone have a bad word to say about them!

[Curt]

Yeah I've heard that they're just generally heavy, but I thought it would be a bit more ankle friendly than it is! I may try a genuine cable then, the one on it is only a month or so old but it's factored. Cheers for the help with fluid too, seems perfectly happy with the 2L I dropped in.

I'll post it when it's arrived nothing too special really! But I like it.

I just picked up some from CPA actually, £33 a side. But I'll keep that in mind, especially if these don't last long...


Forgot to say I picked up some oil and a filter too as that's overdue.

[Niall]

the cheaper arms dont seem to last too long. mine feel worn and there 18 months old and done about 10k. not much really. Although i suppose we all moan but then again, most of us do drive pretty hard!

[Curt]

Yeah so I've heard... But mine are making some horrendous noises and I had a ball joint snap on my old DT which wasn't pleasant. So these have to be better than the shot ones currently!

[Curt]

I've been meaning to have a go at this for a while now, so after work I popped to the local bike shop and bought a brake lever. Cost me a whole £7 and took about an hour of fiddling.

   

   

I like it, it's more natural for going into reverse and it works perfectly. Nothing int the car is modified either so I can change straight back.

[Scott]

That's quality. Love it.

[Ed Doe]

That's awesome!! Love it!

All you need now is a twist grip gear-changer

[Niall]

haha i thought about doing this for a laugh!

[Curt]

It is for a laugh really, but I like it haha

[puglove]

Haha seen this on a cherry rallye. I quite like idea i just wouldnt do it myself as it kinda looks like it broke so you bodged it lol but yeah 100 points on the outside the box mods

[Dum-Dum]

OMG, that is so awesome!!!!!! *runs to garage to look for a spare brake lever*

[vlj]

I wondered how long it would be before you got this done :p

[gumball3000]

Absolutly mental mate!! Hope mine looks this good soon!!

[Curt]

Won't lie, the Cherry Rallye was my inspiration... and it does look better on a stripped car. I'm looking at getting a black one with a red handle though which I think would look pretty sweet...

Forgot to put pics of my other new addition too, will do later.

Cheers for the comments guys

[samass]

ahhh lovin that reverse, want it in mine, but for more related stuffs

[gumball3000]

I think the brake lever idea looked better with the gaitor left oof persoanlly lol.

[Matt]

As I said before, looks win! Your doing mine at the weekend!! Also you need to get pictures of the :nInja: up

[Curt]

Yeah I kinda think it looks better with no gaitor, but as my car is no way stripped I think it just looks incomplete without it.

As I said before, looks win! Your doing mine at the weekend!! Also you need to get pictures of the :nInja: up

Haha, we're doing yours at the weekend . Will do shortly...

---

So a parcel arrived yesterday


   

   

OMP WRC with red stitching.

70mm dish rather than the 95mm of the Corsica, means I can reach my indicators

[vlj]

winning! looks really good I've had my steering wheel like 2 weeks now but still waiting for my boss kit to arrive aaah

[Matt]

You are doing mine!

And f*ck you with reaching indicators!

[Poodle]

So who wants to make me an offer for the cf/titanium brake lever sat in my garage...?

So glad you decided to keep this, tis looking win.

[Curt]

Matt you're a lazy fucker! Oh and [Ed Doe] smugface [/Ed Doe]



I've ordered a red and black one now

Cheers Alex

[Matt]

Yes that I am! Haha nah I'll crack on with it

Got plans to fulfil as well. Which includes the words epic and hooning

[Curt]

You can help me come up with a better way of mounting them actually... It's not ideal at the moment.

Haha, speaking of hooning I have something else to update

[Matt]

Yes. We will sort that too. I've already come up with a good idea

[thethorne]

loving the steering wheel mate looks the nuts. your car just gets better and better.

[Curt]

Cheers buddy, really pleased with the wheel loving the car at the moment not gonna lie. Got a couple more small updates to get up tomorrow, once I've got some pictures. May even give it a wash! Possibly get my glove box back in at long last too

[samass]

just noticed your ninja edit with the wheel! niiiice, whered you pick that up from?
