I do, she hardly gets driven these days and certainly not hard as I cant afford for my 160k cam belt to let go as I've spent my money on a cam belt for the new engine, not this one.
Dum dum maths in a nutshell there lol

Suppose if it does go you'll have a reason for the new engine to go in.

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - Dum-Dum - 21-02-2014

There is no point fixing the issues on the current engine as it would put the timescale for the big engine back by months. Only gonna do maybe 200 miles before the new engine now.

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - mcglynn - 21-02-2014

Getting close then!

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - gavxud - 22-02-2014

I want another bianca estate Sad miss my ood one ...will be awesome with the new engine

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - Dum-Dum - 22-02-2014

Oh, got some Continental Contact Sport 2s off ebay. £70 the pair delivered. 7-7.5mm of tread left so an utter f*cking bargain. Was desperate for them really, micrometer says 1.6mm exactly on the worst bit of the tyre.

Be interesting to see how good they are, always been a Michelin man personally :p

OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - devils_fuel - 22-02-2014

Any pics of this work darling? Smile

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - Dum-Dum - 22-02-2014

I'm moving about between michelins, bridgestones, goodyears and continentals, whatever is a good buy at the time really. I wouldn't go back to cheaper stuff now as it all appears to have faster wear rates as a trade off to try and get the same grip.

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - ozonehostile - 22-02-2014

I love how low it is haha, impractical, practical car ftw lmao

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - Dum-Dum - 22-02-2014

It sure looked funny!

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - DeeTurbo - 23-02-2014

Chris, do you know how high the top of the arch is off the floor?

The front of mine is 580mm and the rear 560mm. I do get a bit of rubbing but I think that's because of the osf damper being rubbish.

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - Dum-Dum - 23-02-2014

I'll look, only place mine rubs is on the lump in the chassis at the top of the back side of the front arches. I'll measure it soon.

The front of mine is 580mm and the rear 560mm. I do get a bit of rubbing but I think that's because of the osf damper being rubbish.

Mine is 540mm front and 525mm rear, I think its usually a little more level than that but I'm parked backwards and downhill onto a kerb (don't have to worry about hand brake then)

The rear never scrapes, even with the full 2.2 lump in there, my 35kg jack and some wheels in the boot so she was on the stops it didn't scrape. Rear arches have been rolled and there's no liners in there.

The front only catches the lumps in the back of each front arch under full compression at some steering angles and the same with the front arch lip however the front arches have been rolled and then pulled by a few mm (you wouldn't notice if I hadn't told you). Again, no liners.

I am tempted to crack the torsion bars round another notch when I put the 21mm bars back in as I'm only on 20mm GTi6 bars currently but I think I'd need to cut the bump stops for suspension travel.

Hmm, but still not as fast as a 2.2 I'm guessing? Given the comparative lack of displacement... lol

Seriously though, should be good Chris! Big Grin

RE: OEM+ Bianca FMIC HDi Estate - Piggy - 02-03-2014
