Things have been going well, Ive done a few 250 - 500 mile round trips with no problems but a steep inclines and a squeaky brake
I've got a few little things done;
New wipers with spray bars that dont piss everywhere, the speakers are wired correctly and the wires soldered instead twisted together, my subwoofer is also in the back.
After the third set of brake disks and second set of pads i finally had the right parts to do my brakes with very necessary assistance of Tom (or bash-whoever) and another guy at the workshop who i think is a quiet admirer of the luxurious 405 and Toms 306 obsession
I started on my headlining which i think is looking pretty good so far.... but i am only halfway
Lol my 306 obsession. Its true. Brake wear warning light we can have a nose Thursday night I guess man and get that roof lining done would be good.
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

I got a new Stanley blade in preparation for headling. the warning light was just a flicker for a few seconds, its not there anymore.
I also washed my car, it's completely different kind of red now...

Going to be putting a different engine in (with turbo) around May when my insurance is due for renewal.
Either a 1.9 or a 2.1 i dont know which one i should go for though.... although i hear there is no replacement for displacement.also looking for a Bosch pump so i can run veg oil
then, finally im going to lower it maybe 30-40mm, not sure yet
I'd like some different wheels sometime but turbos are more important, let's be honest

Okay so change of plans. I was a douche and didn't change the cambelt so now my old car is in some scrappy In Wales [emoji22] however I just won this on eBay which already has a turbo and boosh pump and the luxury or air con!!
Just got to try pick it up from Northants and I'll be going woosh
Pics to follow

So I the car seems to have been well looked after and also slightly modified...
On the way back home I was keeping up with my friends mk3 golf Gti so it's not a slug like the 2.0 flat diesel lump was.
A couple more pics
The all important turbo d badge
Mk3 golf GTI is no bench mark of performance! A 205 XS was quicker to 60 than the 8v golf!
I do love a good 405, had my first drive in a MI16 last week, great driving position and cabin. It's crying out for a 2.2 or V6 HDI, ultimate tow barge.

True the golf isn't fast but the only other thing I can compare it to is my bike ahaa...
I'll be sticking with the 1.9 for now but she has plenty more to give still [emoji4]
The car came with tow hitch already I just have to get a towing licence to suit

Oh and if you are considering a 2.1 lump definitely do it, they are all kinds of awesome
I had to leave the Cyclones in Wales so im sticking with these for now, I think im going to try get them powder coated black tho...
i will do some testing inside photoshop to see if its worth it or not
Just going from flat diesel to turbo is awesome! i went in Bash's 2.1 a while ago and was mildly scared ahaa
This now has a cambelt as of tonight so he wont go snapping this one. Bottom pully was seized to crank. Broke it getting it off. Had a spare so that went on, may this have many days of boosting ahead of it trouble free!

We also clipped those nasty wires off that stop you messing with the fuel pump.
Turned the fueling up half a turn and pulled that rod out so I can get wide open throttle [emoji106]
Put a, hopefully working, boost gauge in. but the backlight is the wrong colour ahaaa

Okay so I got the boost gauge working, turns out someone had been a right tool and blanked the pipe off, I can't understand why?
Anyway, boosting at about 14psi

Problems [emoji106]
