it looks soooooooooooo much better on clones

Just painting the one in primer as we speak lol so should look alot better with 4 matching ones. Had a problem were the one in primer let is self down about 3 times in one night so put steel on turned out to be valve think ive stoped it leaking now but not 100%.

Blocked the hole off on the turbo yesterday defo made a difference on spooling times lot easyer to drive at lower revs now, So i turned the fuel up half a turn getting 23/24psi now, still dont feel that great tbh i mean its not slow but i was hoping for more but i dont think the fact i still have the standard gov is helping hopefully when thats done it will go abit better.

Might have some decent pic's of the car on cyclones later as gona give it a dam good clean

---

Noo don't do much to the outside its meant to be a sleeper!!

Im not gona lol only reason i went with cyclones is i needed tyres and these had really good tyres, was tempted to just put the tyres on the steelys but i like the cyclones at the min, plus im getting bord of every one looking at the car and thinking its shit much rather have a car that people look at and think thats nice looks like its looked after. I no its fun on the off chance you get a chav in a saxo next to you but it dont happen very much as when people look at the car they dont think im gona race em

i get what you mean about the sleeper look, it gets quite annoying been out in the truck turbo hatch when every car on the road starts eyeing you up and trying to overtake all the time just to prove a point or something, while in the sedan no one notices you (apart from the coal)

oem+ sleeper is the way forward

Buy this then or swap for the sedan lol Tbh thinking about putting it up for sale as getting bored of it now but not sure cos i spent a small fortune on it!

What do you think its worth as it is with steelys on? 170,000miles tax till july, mot till oct service 500miles go loads of other stuff been done to it

[ozonehostile]

dude! wtf lol. at least get it boosting properly with a hybrid pump and see how you like it then

just getting bored ive nearly done ever thing i can to this apart from gov mod, and the other thing making me wana sell it is on delivery's im only getting just over 32mpg stop start all the time i used to get 52mpg stop start around town on my old 106 1.5 plus it was a hell of alot cheaper to insure etc..... hmmmmm not really sure not made my mind up

gov modding changes everything man, opens up a hole new rev range that the td04 will really benifit from. do it and im sure youl fall back in love with it (at least for a little bit) haha

Yer thats what im hopeing lol see how it goes will be getting it gov modded when i go see jenks when i go get the '6 shocks and loweing springs.

Wheel is painted now any way sat drying on the back not the best job but as the primer that ash had painted had reacted but not fussed as was just a quick job so i had all the same colour wheels

[bigcheez2k3]

Must be the gov mod as mine takes off quite well. Not sure about the LDA but I'm assuming mine has probably been adjusted but the pin is standard.

Not saying my car is slow, but i was expecting it to be faster, you no what psi you maxing at? whats smoke level like off boost??

Any way cleaned the car looks quite well now with all 4 cyclones in the same colour and good polish and black bits (insted of grey lol)

You need the front badge back on, would look real tidy then

Its in the boot snaped the clips off was gona glue it on but then i wouldnt be able to get to the bolt to take grill off

[ozonehostile]

I replaced the bolt with a plastic stud that presses Into the hole then just glued the badge back over it. Only need to undo the top bolts now then just pull the grill off

I've seen 25psi and not sure about smoke, usually when I give it some I concentrate more on where I'm going than the guage or the smoke haha

Yer i was thinking about takeing it off but i used supidly strong super glue and dont wana rip paint off

Any way bit of an update OH DEAR!



Slight bit of rust looks like i just caught it in time before it eat though the seat belt mount, hopefully get it welded tomorrow or tuesday, Gona buy some under seal and re underseal the whole car while we got a bit better weather and see if i can spot any more rust.......

[Chris_90]

Got welding done



Undersealed all the arch so hopefully will see the car out now, Gona re under seal all the floor make sure theres no more rust.

Been slowly working on lowering the back but as per usual the off set washer was seized in so been soaking it in wd40 did absolute fook all, got some plus gas sprayed it 30 seconds later



Its out so now soaking the torsion bars every time i get in car so hopefuly when i get a full day might be able to get the back lowered

[Arron]

Bud did your arch have the plastic liner still in?

[MarkTD]

Bad luck about the rust mate but at least it's sorted now. Mine was twice as bad as that lol.

looks good, just need to get rid of that dodgy badge lol

[Chris_90]

No never had a 306 with a arch liner in the passanger side rear arch

Yer think I might take it off just worried about it pulling paint off cos I used super glue it some propa stuff to my mate gets from his work, not sure how I would get it off

[Chris_90]

Been to see jenks this morning he worked his magic on the pump now it is gov modded (BIG thanks to jenks agin), Gave it abit of stick boosting around 24/26psi quite quick on acceleration when keeping it above 3,000rpm but when i tried to do a 30-70 time seems really slow. Probably wont help being on a strong veg mix. Will see how it goes may turn the fuel up abit agin but not sure yet.

Heres the vid 30-70mph It looks sooooo slow To be honest i blame the de wastegated turbo cos i would be able to put alot more fuel in with out pushing the psi though the roof..... Defo wont be de-wastegateing another turbo!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ5W8CkE5-c

Also why i was at jenks picked up the gti6 gmax shocks and lowering springs and a 6 master cylinder


Pic of pump in bits didnt get pic of the gov as forgot lol



Next up gti6 bits anti roll bars front and back 6 brakes, and 6 rear shocks Oh also got a strut brace that im painting that i bought of a mate to.....

Comments welcome

[Midnightclub]

have you plugged the hole on the turbo yet?

[Chris_90]

have you plugged the hole on the turbo yet?

yer did that abit ago used cemical metal, blocked up nicely, when i did it could tell difference straight away spooled quicker

[padge]

lol, strong mix of veg says it all, my td04 was dewastegate and was boosting way off the gauge and that thing was not slow at all.

[Ben]

Is your gmax kit the 30mm drop one or the 60mm?

[bigcheez2k3]

Probably the veg mix, mine is only half and half at the moment and I've noticed a little difference.

[ozonehostile]

even with the gov mod you wont notice much of a performance increase on the veg, fill it up with straight derv, change the fuel filter and try again, made a very noticeable difference on the sedan, diesel made another 2k rpm available compared to veg

[Chris_90]

Is your gmax kit the 30mm drop one or the 60mm?

30mm I belive jenks said it lowered 30/35mm

And will put some straight derv in when im feeling rich. Lol

[Chris_90]

Not much of an update but



Roof rack it adds to the sleeper look but doubt it will be staying on all the time as only need it to move some ladders then probably will end up in shed doing nowt lol
