Thanks mate turbo won't be happening for a while just get saving now hopefully can run veg oil

get another bonnet and have it wrapped.

Might do but would rather try and keep the same colour

[procta]

is the old bonnet damaged badly or can it be repaired.

Doubt it would be able to be repaired as corners had bent up, there is a few debts in it, not to sure tbh just gonna leave it as it is for now.

[Jenkosowls]

Couldn't believe about the bonnet! I was really expecting a smashed windscreen I'v hadn't been for those rivers breaking I think the windscreen would have took the full force of it

[Piggy]

shame about the bonnet...but think about funds saved from now running veg!

how tough was getting the timing right?

[bigcheez2k3]

Looking good

I love how no-one seems that bothered when the bonnet flips, they just laugh

[Chris_90]

Was a right ball ache! But to be fair If I New to use the pump as 12o'clock instead of vertical off the floor as 12o'clock probably would have had it running yesterday, but you live and learn, Jenks always seems to fix my f**k ups lol so if in doubt ask Jenks

@Jenks was very lucky, been busy tonight at work done about 50/70 mile and it's been bang on start first time every time, hardly any white smoke now just thick black smoke when I plant my foot gonna get some veg in it tomorrow see how it goes

@bigceez it was funny at the time, bit annoyed now tho but it's not end of world, could have been alot worse

Will do but be warned there's a que of people asking me to sell it dont no why tbh, but probably no body will want it when its for sale

[Chris_90]

So today gone out in car and had a puncture, come to swap wheels and found back axle is badly broken! Arb plate bolt has shaped and disappeared , and there is alot ALOT of play in the bearing

So bonnet flipped/ puncture/ and broken axle so that's my 3 things!

FML!

[Jimbo]

Scrap then yeah....

[Piggy]

how did you not feel that!!?

second hand beams are cheap...dont give up. good chance to get a disc rear beam...bet ya can find one ready lowered too. dont give up pal

[Chris_90]

Scrap then yeah....

As tempted as I am to scrap it no way not after how much ball ache fitting pump was!

There has been a noise for a while just took no notice go with the rest of the rattles and creeks lol I won't give up no way! Looking at refurbished axles, but Gonna lift it back up to standard hight no more lowered cars as its killing me on bumps round hear just scrapped front pipe and sump again so it's getting lifted think steels on though winter with the snow Tyres and xsi wheels in summer, not gonna look as good but going for something practical now.

Good news just picked up some filtered veg oil at 65p a liter so cheap motoring now, not sure if I'm gonna filter my own veg carnt be arsed with the dirty work

[Poodle]

I meant the wishbones and driveshaft lol, answered above now.

Gutted at the bonnet going, interesting to see a low pressure area building on the leading edge at such low speeds though...

[Chris_90]

Slight bit of an update deiced seen as this is the first fine day in a while to give the car a quick wash, polish and wax.





Currently rolling on xsi alloys on rear and 195/50/15 snow tyres up front (carnt use full lock as they scrape bad!) Thinking some spacers to bring them out abit so they dont scrape.

Also saw this on Facebook going fairly cheap so thought i would buy it so just start collecting bits for boost.


Not quite sure if its gonna be any good as the pipes are 2.5 inch and intercooler is quite big but for what i paid willing to make it fit. See how it goes

Comments welcome

[Chris_90]

Couple of updates snapped the front pipe yet agin this time think it was beyond repair so manged to get a mate to stick a bit of weld on it to hold it in place for last night and i bought a new one and fitted that looks abit better design with more support on the bottom of it.




Also finally found a 16mm long reach socket so i could fit the new engine buffers (genuine pug part!)


Feels alot tighter now with that sorted

Having issues in a morning with the veg oil with up and down idle and cutting it it really dont like it once it cuts out it takes an age to get going again this is mixed as well with 13 liters of derv about 27 liters of veg. I have changed the fuel filter was abit better this morning but still cut out a few times. Any one no what could be causing it? once it warmed up runs drives fine for rest of day just the first 5/10mins in a morning.

Comments welcome

[samass]

that'll just be cold starting, give it a few cycles of the glowies, or hold it on the throttle for a bit. mines the same.

oh that simple i do try to hold the revs but dont fancy pissing the naiboughs off lol so soon as i start it i drive off but when i get to end of street it would cut out i tried left foot braking so i could keep the revs on but i ended up with whiplash

Was thinking about a inline fuel heater?

[samass]

yep, exactly the same as mine lol

two options really, firstly, f*ck the neighbours, or, just dont stop at the end of the street?

technically, its got one anyway, the fuel filter is on the side of the bloock and coolant runs around it to warm it up. could just raise the idle a bit so it doesnt dip so much when you lift off the trottle

Think I will raise the idle see how it goes glad your is same tho was starting to think something up with pump/car lol

[Poodle]

Raise your cold idle a bit, should help at least.

Few updates,

a sticker (off tom306)



Relevant smoke patch on the grass

And was having issues with it dieing, found out it was air getting in past this o ring


So put a new o ring on it, and i couldnt get it back in its way to tight, got stressed with it after about 30 seconds So just went and bought an inline filter the TT one.

First attempt


Didnt have any zip ties so used speaker wire and relised after it was on the fan so went and bought some zip ties and removed the battery cover and did it like this



Will do for now till i can be bothered to look in to fixing the propa housing, Note the in line heater (fuel pipe zip tied to the rad pipe)

Coming soon b4 front shocks, ebiach springs, water temp gauge. and eventually new rear axle

Comments welcome

[Piggy]

haha! starting to go down the route of Samass finishing skills!!

so long as it works eh...can tidy up later on. Those little o rings are a pain, common on the XUDs, I remove the stat piece (cut it in half) to allow the fuel to always be heated, then replaced O ring AND seal it in too!!!

It was Sam that gave me that idea lol! I was thinking about taking that thermostat thing out of the white plastic thing but didn't no if it's the ssame as on 306 cos had to block 306 thing off with a penny

[Piggy]

yeah same principle I believe.

you have a PM by the way

Gotta have a bit of love for the s1 106's, always had the s2
