The colour is an astor-based-homebrew Mmmm the wrecked 6 I was going to pick up seemed to be an xsi  Also done fitting the exhaust system today, so devil backbox, devil centresection, devil decat and gti6 exhaust manifold (heatwrapped) the difference is immense  engine runs very smooth now, also much more torque in lower revs and a slight gain in powerThe smell coming from the heatwrap/manifold is unbearable though :/ And the decat is hitting the subframe when accelerating  But the sound  silent in neutral, but verryyy raspy when revving (only car's sound I can compare it to is an f430 :p )Also getting a 106gti tomorrow (not sure what we'll do with it, maybe track it) ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

haha, nice try Now, here are 2 clips to give an idea of the exhausts sound (yes, she was still cold, but for 1time this doesn't matter) Getting a lot of bad response about the sound (here in Belgium) but I think I kind of like it devil2 & devil1 and a pic in the snow:  Opinions about the sound are welcome btw ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

Allright, started saving some parts to unleash some more horsies..bmc cda (from toonboy on here)  Still need to figure out what extra pieces i need to get it fitted properly :p gti6 cams  Will be buying new pug-pulleys, they're not too expensive so.. I may have them regrinded (reground?) if I can find someone around here... Next up (when money-flow allows it) will be a (rich-w?) crank pulley and a gti6 inlet As I've already got a spare xu7jp4 laying around Wheel related, got rid of the shitty AEZ's and got some 16"x7 Enkei tarmac evo forged rims (still refurbing them as the previous owner wrecked them )On the interior I did this:   And moved the rear speaker from the parcel shelf to the sides:  ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

indeed, no catalic converter, no centre silencer and the rear 'thing' is hardly to be called a silencer; I also think thats the one causing the well... 'raspy' sound.Looks like this:  (thank god I've still got the blue part in it) ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

in the meanwhile:  (old sparkplugs left and right the new ones, NGK with double ground)   The weird thing is, it wasn't noticeable in high rpm... Ok, it was a little rough under 2.5k rpm but I related that to the decat...  Hopefully solved now.. (and pray it didn't hit a valve or something on it's way out  )Though I keep wondering how something like this could happen.. ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

couple of new pics of last summer:   wintermode: (on winterwheels+tyres)    very very dirty atm also found a new place to put the tweeters, its very hard to get them decently aligned at the standard location, so I found a solution for that (sadly I lost the pics, so will have to wait till I make some new ones)and getting a dry-cell battery this weekend because my original battery is dying so might as well upgrade  The mpg-problem got fix too. Apparently the fuel pressure regulator was fubared and only giving about 2.2bar pressure while it should be 3bar, popped a new one in and chanced the coolant temp. sensor as well (just to be sure lol). Mpg is looking better again! ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

You like swapping your rims, do you have a different set for each month of the year? I am actually Jealous of you purely because you have an Astor  , looks mint I have to say. The rear splitter is a nice subtle touch want one for my 6 somewhen did you by any chance order it from Ecosse?Edit: Not sure what it is about Astor, when clean and polished it looks but when its dirty like the above pics it looks  ________________________________________ I Live for the 306TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

*counts his rims* 6 sets in the garage atm, only 4 in use so a set every season  the splitter is indeed from ecosse and 'astor', this ain't ordinary astor, it's a modified colour (based on astor) which I used when the car got its complete respray. Its awesome, even if I say so myself ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

I really want your 306! Question about the exhaust mods- The GTi-6 exhaust manifold: What else do you need besides the manifold? and did you fit a GTi6 system all the way down or was it for the 1.8 engine? |
