The Racetractor. The End.

[Dum-Dum]

Looking good mate, Amazing how rapid these are with so little boost

[zx_volcane]

that picks up extremely well

[mr_fish]

pulling well!! what clutch did you run again? genuine valeo?

[n0v0s]

Impressed. Good effort!

[devils_fuel]

Now that would pull the skin off a rice pudding

Good result mate, now have you got that smile back? Just need to retrace & fix those bodges and you'll have reliable motoring

[Piggy]

standard valeo clutch.

Under bonnet issues are all sorted realy.
Bit of tidying, remove the AC pipes left and sort the oil catch tank which still isnt catching oil and its done.

interior and exterior is another ball game.

but yes my smiles per gallon have gone up considerably...thus my mpg has gone down a bit

[devils_fuel]

Good stuff then mate, are you now going to be running a daily "breakdown free" counter from the last breakdown

[Piggy]

yea!

all has been fine for nearly 500miles!

[devils_fuel]

yea!

all has been fine for nearly 500miles!

It's been a lot ballache for you, once the teething issues have been sorted it should be ok - remember it's a combination of bits

[Piggy]

just need to raise the back up 15-20mm n get my stereo system n flocking sorted then polish the bodywork up in spring

[Mrs puglove]

Need to update this with your flocking pics

[Jonny81191]

Looking good mate, Amazing how rapid these are with so little boost

All that extra displacement eh Chris?

[Piggy]

Got loads more to flock yet.
main issue is stereo.. once thats sorted I can flock the trim its mounted to.
I could do with selling some bits to pay off my overdraft/GT loan...then I can order the coloured fkock I want

[Piggy]

currently trying to sort a horrid interference issue cauzing horrid buzzing through me amps...

in the meantime:

   
   
   
   

[Dum-Dum]

OMFG, SO MUCH WANT!!!!

[Piggy]

send one my way and I'll do it

see my thread about flocking...

[Piggy]

ok...no real update.

raised the beam by 10mm. so nice to have such a young beam in great nick thats all greased up...was so easy.

waiting for new winter tyres to be fitted to winter wheels as my 185/65s touch the bilsteins weirdly.

also made my adjustable compbrake shifter non asjustable and it kept coming apart. welder with a sleeve or two and some modifyin means now it wont come apart and 1st and 5th or more achieveable.

boost now also up to 1.3bar.

still fighting weird interference with stereo so ICE/boot/flocking install has stalled somewhat due to that.

spent many many hours tracing and testing...nearly there

---

oh n MOT due very soon

[bobertmate]

i have a random erge to throw fruit at your car as a result of jealousy

[mikey b]

Just watched your vid looked pretty around well done

[Piggy]

stereo HU replaced with cheapo JVC....now all fine. bloody thing.

1.3bar means 3rd gear wheel spins regular!

but weird slight high voltages...around 15-15.5v when driving....but no hot wires or problems. must keep eye on that.

also need some GTi front caliper seals to rebuild my brakes

[Piggy]

Sooooo...

tried to go to minehead and back again...this time she made it there n back without missing a beat! happy days!!!

on a side note, got a leaking injector I think :-(

but sorted, temp anyway, my oil breather spitting oil everywhere:

   

[ozonehostile]

This engine hates oil. Inside it anyway

[Piggy]

Guna go to pug dealer today and get a couple of pipes as some have perished and are seeping oil.

If I sort those, a new dipstick, the leaky injector and the breather....I may just have stopped all the dribbles.

Then I can reaccess the aux setup tensioner which looks like its on the skiv

MOT friday...wonder what he will think of my milk bottle?!

[John1.4]

lol this car looks so much fun, i shouldn't have thought the milk bottle will be an issue in itself - as long as it's nice and secure

[Piggy]

cant you see the OEM cable tie!? Whats not secure about that

I want to get all these stupid gremlins sorted then I can begin flocking stuff and get the boost up to 1.5bar and release some more gremlins!!!

Oh yeah, did I mention the whinning through the stereo amp from the alternator has returned for some reason!

[devils_fuel]

As I said in the other thread, try another alternator just in case yours maybe duff

[Piggy]

Yeah I may try a complete diff aux setup as the tensioner/buffer has gone skew

[Piggy]

well.....

   

[Piggy]

so...it passed!

as you can see.

Weird advisories...oil leak is a fuel leak from the injector. Lowering isnt significant, and I know it is, so not sure why he put that. And its a diesel engine.....so?!
Advisories are there as something to correct within the next 6months, thats what the old MOT cert used to say, how do I correct that it now has a diesel engine....convert it back!??

Ironically, nothing at all was said about the ABS or AIRBAGS!!

[welshpug]

203 miles since last mot

has it always been diseasel?
