she came to me with crunchy second gear, a heavily worn clutch, knackered beam and plenty more
first up was the mot, it had a decatted magnex, so Eddiebeano kindly loaned me his cat, also fitted a new washer pump
replaced the anti roll bar links, it passed first time round with an advisory for the beam having slight play
so i rebuilt one of my spare axles with new bearings and seals, i also fitted a set of 21mm torsion bars
i then bought a gearbox from Eddygti6 and fitted a new valeo clutch kit and cable
next up was a full service along with a new timing belt kit and water pump, i think i did this just in the nick
of time, the belt was badly perished
Rallye blanks
Omp wheel
first set of wheels, i didnt keep these for long but now wish i'd kept them
i have since bought these, direct fit to go with my A048's and 406 brembos that i bought from Russbez
after most of the niggles were resolved i did a trackday at Knockhill
sneaky shot of the missus
Over the winter i plan to finish off what i started last year, a GTi6 turbo conversion.
i had stock piled a fair few bits n pieces, T16 bottom end, exhaust manifold, Garrett T3 turbo, intercooler,
Weber-Pectel ecu and associated sensors
the T16 bottom end was scrap so i salvaged the its pistons and con rods and scrapped the rest, something
that i later regretted as the T16 crank has 24mm journals meaning my pistons/rods wont fit the GTi6
crank. i sold off alot of my turbo build bits as i had lost interest but i'm going to give it another bash
also, i made these up for my previous 306, solid polyurethene bushes, these made a huge difference to
the feel of the car, so i will soon have a few more sets made
Since owning this car ive had various thoughts on what to do with it, i fancy the idea of a track toy but really
not sure what will become of it!
