I dont think many cars were intended for track cars but they were just a basic spec cheaper modle than the gti6. Still plenty of standard ones still out there and mines not good enought to make munt ect... ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Few more bits and bobs done today. Bought a load a rubber hase for the pas return pipe, oil catch tank and to replace the pipes from the servo to vacuum pump. Cut a new facia out, chopped the bumper support, cut the engine mount down as i dont need the pas brackets on there any more and painted a few bits ready for the new engine tomorrow hopefully. ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

So picked the new engine up yesterday and got working on it today,weather was abit crap so not got as much done as i was hoping to.Removed all the AUX setup as i am only running an alternator,swapped over the inlet and a few other bits and bobs, degreased the block and painted the head. Tomorrow i need to change the cam belt, remove the box and change the casings as my box has a f**ked 3rd and 4th selector and box i got with the engine has a snapped engine mount point. Hopefully be in and running by monday tho.   ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Well today has been fun. Pulled the gearbox off both my engines. 1 had a broken 3rd and 4th selector and other had a snapped mounting point so stropped both boxed down to i could take the middle casing off the box with the borke selector or fit it to the box with the broken mounting point. Never pulled a box apart before so it did take a little while figuring bits and bobs out but i managed. Now i have 1 good box and feels like i can select all gears by hand so fingers crossed its going to be ok once its in the car.    ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

As said good effort looks like a can of worms opening a gearbox up ________________________________________ "Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off." |

gearboxes are simple things really! never had the 6 speed ond apart but plenty of 5's now, got a 6 to do myself soon, need to figure if its worth sourcing the two end bearings or just re-use the old ones.MA are a faff, more so because they break too! ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

The 2 bearings on both of my boxed seeled in pretty good condition when i pulled them apart. The gearbox with the broken 3rd and 4th selector itself was in a pretty bad way but the box i changed the casing on was mint, very clean inside compared to my old box! It wasnt as bad as people made it out to be to be hanest just a bit of a pain getting the gears out of the middle casing was the hard part, then fugiting out how all the gears and selectors went back together. I think next time i will do it differently tho. Remove 5th and 6th then lift the middle casing off with the gears and selectors still in the bottom of the box.________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

I didnt think i done to bad for being my 1st box to be honest. But only way to learn is to get stuck in and do it. Hopefully there wont be a next time, was covered in box oil by the time i had finished ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Today i finally got round to getting the engine fitted, bought a new AUX belt as i am only running the alternator now. Painted a few bits what were looking a little tired but didnt get as much done as i was hoping as it kept on snowing every now and then. engine is in, all mounts tightened up and everything connected up in the engine bay apart from the catch tank as the pipe i got is too small Tomorrow i need to fit shafts, exhaust, and brake lines then i can get the car back down on all 4 wheels and make a start on the inside, hopefully the engine is going to be a good one.    ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Managed to get the car started today. Had a bit of bother at 1st, with the engine standing for a few year i replaced the belt, pulled the plugs out and put a little oil in each of the bores then turned the car over a few times to get the oil round the engine. i then dropped the oil out and left to drain for about half an hour while i went and bought some fresh oil and filter. Fitted the filter and fresh oil, left the plugs out and cranked the engine over again a few times. Fitted the new plugs and went to start the car, fuel pump was priming, everything seemed to be working but was getting no spark? swapped the crank sensor and checked fuses and still nothing! tried the ECU i got with the engine and the car fired straight up, strange how my original ECU off the rallye wouldnt work tho?when i got the car started it was making one hell of a racket from the top end! gave it a minute and nothing changed, turned it off and tried again still rattling its brains out so left it for half hour went back to start it up, still rattled so gave it a few revs and held at about 2k and a few seconds later it sorted itself out. take it the lifters must have had absolutely no oil in them. so im now happy with the engine, need to pick up a CV boot tomorrow for the long shaft before i can get that fitted. Moved onto the interior and finished off making my facia and wired in the cut off switch and fitted a on/off switch for when i get the kitcar heater matrix. Painted the back of the new facia satin black so the front comes out nice.      ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Been on removing all sound dead crap from the floor inside the car today and cleaning it up ready for seats. Also removed the bit of metal that runs from the exhaust tunnel to the door. Front carpet is staying in for now.Does anyone else run OMP seat mounts? just wondering weather they are meant to sit flat or at an angle? you will see what i mean in the last pic     ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |
