Project Booty

[Harry]

Right, some of you might know me from other places, but my Name is Harry, im 17, and i own a 1.4 Sedan.

I bought the car back in June for £750, its a 1997 but was imported into england in 1999, currently has 67,000 on the clock ... And here is some of the work i have done on it so far.

As i bought it ....







I have previously had 2 other pugs




Fitted Angels ...



Alloys:




Then bought a spoiler, still havent got round to spraying and fitting it yet




Wind deflectors:



Then had a little meet up with annother 306 owner, and noticed just how high my car is lol






Then sprayed my alloys:







Then has a little photo shoot on portsdown hill






Then noticed some gungy stuff in my airbox and my breather pipes aswell as oil in the bottom of the airbox ...






So i replaced it with a pod filter




Sprayed my badge black ...





Then went to trax ....







Then i was the target of some pikeys ... as i was driving to the garage at 1:00AM, i got a load of plant pots pelted at my car ..





Most of that buffed out with some t-cut tho


Then bought some new side repaters




Also found some wires has cought fire under the dash ... so replaced them




i also wanted to fit some 6x9's, but had to modify the bodywork to do this lol










A few days later i was driving down the A3, and my backbox fell of xD




So had to get that weled up as a temp fix.


Fitted some subs




Notced my tires were rubbing on the arch liner ... so iv had to go back to steelies untill i can afford some spacers








Fitted some of those xenon bulb jobbies




One morning i woke up and noticed how awefull the side repeaters were, so i went back to standard ... neally



And then tinted my rear lights ... however i think i may have gone abit to dark lol




Then i got some Ph3 lights








And that is my car so far


Comment welcome
Thanks, Harry

Holy shit thats more of a monster truck that mine was hurry up and drop it and get those airanes back on!

[Foxy-jim]

Alright mate! As always, car is looking good, you need to deck it soon!!! Haha.

[Scott]

This will look awesome with the ph3 front bumper and a decent drop! Will you spray the side strips and rear rub strip on the bumper to match the ph3 front since you're smoothing the bumpers?

[Curt]

I like these, my first car was a sedan . Agree with the others, some slammage and it'll be very much win.

[mark_airey]

Why does everyone hate ph2's so much??

I like it, just needs more lows and the alloys back on

oh and get the spoiler painted and fitted!

[Jacko]

Because the front bumper looks like Fugly Fish!

Thats why i've 2.5'd my phase

[Harry]

Alright mate! As always, car is looking good, you need to deck it soon!!! Haha.

i swear you are eveywhere! any forum i come into


Thanks guys ... i will be colour codeing it aswell yeah ... i dunno, i just ... well ... not hate ... but prefure the ph3 look

Coilys and wheel spacers will be on next pay day ...

im hopeing to go 110mm front and 100mm rear on a gti6 rear beam with spax rear shocks ...

Im geting hub centric spacers which bolt onto the hub with studs to put the wheels on ( 25mm)

[Foxy-jim]

I have a set of 20mm hubcentric spacers in my garage with bolts? 20mm.

With you coilovers you will need to take the helper spring out to get it down 110mm or buy some shorter stiffer springs for them, which is what I'm doing!

[Jacko]

Jim, would you sell me your helper springs when you've no use for them?

[Foxy-jim]

I'm keeping mine but buying shorter main springs!

[Harry]

Thanks Jim, but im gunna buy these one ... as i dont trust the extend bolt type tbh ...

Right, fitted my HID's today ... so im just waiting for it to get dark now

They are 8000k ones ... and no ... they are not cheap ebay hids

[kentiiboii]

Saw this at trax looks nice. Need to get some spacers though. Can't wait till weather picks up and I can get my arianes refurbed.

[Foxy-jim]

I dont have the extended bolt type...

[Harry]

Dont ya? What type are they? xD

[Harry]

Betty is dead.

I was pulling away from a junction and the revs were climbing but my speed wasent ... while there was a horrid noise and massive vibations ....

So i tryed to limp home as carefully as possable, but it was no good, as soon as i tryed to put any power down ... the same thing happend ... untill i lost all drive ...

I had a feeling it was my driveshafts ... and i was right ....







Propper F**ked xD

And trying to find replacements for a 1997 1.4 ph2 which was imported in 99 ... is, well, BLEH

Altho i think i have found some ... and anyone can say if these will fit or not?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DRIVESHAFT-LH ... 20bee8c498

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DRIVESHAFT-RI ... 1c20f93570

Any help would be fantstic!

Thanks

Harry

[Matt]

Sure standard issue 1.4 driveshafts will fit, same engine, even if imported etc

[Foxy-jim]

Ye surely past 2 ones will fit. As Matt said should be the same!

[Harry]

Well i know there are 2 differnt types, 1 with 24 splines and one with 22

[Foxy-jim]

Hmmm. Get down the scrappy and see what they have!

[Harry]

Right, i made some good progress today ..

Got both shafts out so now just waiting on the new ones arriving


Woke up this morning ... made a bacon and egg sarnie and a cuppa tea and got cracking



Then found out that the 35mm socket i bought for the DTurbo's hub nut was too big, so had to go out and buy a 30mm one



Then had to go back to the shop and buy a new breaker bar

then had to go back AGAIN and buy a drain removal tool ... then i could get the oil out .... and grrrr do i hate gearbox oil





its all good tho ... cos i got to use my shiney new cressent tool kit




so yeah ... this the the worst one



now just waiting on new ones

thanks for reading

Then had to go

[Harry]

Right, turns out its not my driveshaft that is the issue, is is infact my diff

So i now need to find a gearbox ... but will any 1.4 box fit or not?

Any help would be great

[CaL]

'6 engine would make this amazing

[Harry]

'6 engine would make this amazing

i know ... i think in a year or so i might '6 it ... or DT ... not to sure yet

[Eeyore]

with this... if the oil breather pipe isnt connected youd probably best be putting some more tights over the little elbow on the main aluminum pipe so that stuff doesnt get in that way.

ANyway like i said on pugnet get some lows. Hids look good but make sure they are aimed down low and yeh. looks good

Have you still got the side indicators? I think they look alright tbf!

[Harry]

I now have a bit of silicone pipe connecting those two together, like it was on the original airbox.

Lows are gunna have to wait for now ... not that i have just bought a new gearbox and getting it fitted lol

i no longer have then, sold them to a guy on pugnet

and the HIDS are ajusted correctly ... they light up the road amazingly and i have never been flashed once

Thanks

[Matt]

I bought the indicators but they don't go with my scheme, I though they were darker lol, so prob gunna stick them on eBay haha
