RetroPug's Ph.1 Diablo Gti-6

[RetroPug]

Done a fair bit to this in the last couple of days.

The sound quality was improved but still very poor with the newer HU, especially the low frequencies, so I checked the speakers to find that they looked like this:

I swapped the speakers for the Ph.2 speakers.
Much better:

This massively improved the sound quality up to a decent standard that I'm rather happy with.

I cured the hesitation at low revs by changing the ICV, changed the gearbox oil for the genuine peugeot stuff from Total, which has made the gear changes silky smooth, and my friend and I spent many hours wrestling the standard exhaust from my Ph.2 off and fitting it to this car, so now it purrs quitely and pulls much better without a holey exhaust. I also managed to bolt the driver's seat in properly as the one difficult bolt next to the centre console had not been bothered with by the previous owner, and fitted my pristine condition rear. new lights to replace the corroded and leaky old ones. Finally, I removed the yellow tint from the headlights and fitted my cibie fog lamp covers (crap pic in the dark):


The car then went to Kwik Fit today to have brand new Uniroyal Rainsport 3s fitted, which felt great on the drive home!


Next jobs on the list are an engine oil change, fixing the leaky aerial (peugeot dealer said they don't have seals so couldn't find one nor send me one so will investigate), and fixing the rev counter and hopefully the remote central locking as well by checking the loom and plug near the rad and making potential repairs.
