Sneaky test video on a farm road.. Was going easy on the throttle and gear changes (due to new gearshift fitted) so it can be a bit quicker  More of a sound test etc  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

It take it the video stops when you lost control of the car and veered into a tree?"Farm road"  Sounds pretty nifty. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Bit of a tarty addition to the car... Decided to buy the numberplate off Tom's (binka) turbo'd 306  Few pictures to show it off (car needs a bloody good clean though)     What do people think? I think its a bit tarty, and my mate thinks its turned my car even more into a "chav" car, whatever  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

In true french car style, she decided to not start this morning  Dry day, so thought I would use the car for work. Turns over and starts but wont hold the revs and dies. I will check it out later as didnt have time this morning, but it makes a bit of a clunk noise when it cuts out. I really don't like the sound of it  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

I will have a look tonight and see how I get on. It may just work as normal when I get to it later Have seen no issues prior to this though. The idle has been perfect since I sorted my boost leak. ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

Right, been out and had a quick look. I'm no mechanic, but I cant see any obvious issues.The car was fine all day saturday when I was using it and now it wont idle at all. If I start the car and hold the throttle, its fine. If I let go, it dies straight away. So my options are ICV or MAP sensor I guess? Does the SC setup still use the MAP sensor?  And is it possible for the sensors to just give up like that? ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

Mine decided to do that a few months ago, try holding the throttle open for a couple of minutes and then see if it idles once warmed up.Wierdly mine sort of fixed itself but I took the whole tb off and cleaned everything out for the sake of it. Touch wood not had a problem since. |

Gave the car a bit of a clean at the weekend as the weather was nice on saturday. Decided to do it well so its kinda prepared for the winter cold. Not too many pictures I'm afraid, and need to get some of the finished product (plus buy a camera). By the time we were finishing, it was starting to get cold, and condensation forming on roof and bonnet, which was a pain. Car was washed, dried, clayed, buffed, polished then waxed. (The wax was something my mate had, some Autoglym finish stuff. Was a watery liquid that dired a bit like polish) A couple of photos. Most are in between stages... (Please note, the guy in the orange trousers is my helper monkey, not me )       This is one of the kinda finished ones (still need to back to black, and tyre dress)   And some from the next day, although it had gathered some rain/dew (bit of beading on the go)   ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

Not much going on with this at the minute as its winter so there is no motivation to go out in the cold to do anthing, and I'm pretty skint, so no money for new shiny bits One little job that I did over the weekend is something that has been a slight concern for a while. The heatshield that sits on the bulkhead over the exhaust manifold is getting pretty tatty. I think its massively stupid and ironic that this *heatshield* can catch fire so been looking to replace it. I saw the group buy thread for an alloy one, and you can get them from pug, but being a bit skint, there has to be a cheaper way to do it. Bodge FTW (I do think I have taken too much inspiration from Owain's "Track cars for Dummies" thread) I bought a heatshield off here that seemed to be in better nick than mine. I then also bought some heat reflective foil tape that can cope with 1000oC, so hope that should be ok. (Cue the massive fail on my part that it needs to withstand higher than that) I thought the main problem with the heatsheild is it goes tatty round the edges and the fibres get exposed and singe/burn. So I thought using the tape, cover the edges to stop it happening  Here is what I started with..      A couple during (sorry for bad light/pictures)   ....and a few to show finished item       Hopefully will be spot on, and a cheaper alternative to buying a new one ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |
