RE: Ell Diablo - 306Dan - 17-10-2013

RE: Ell Diablo - Poodle - 18-10-2013
Aw you should have asked mate, i could have turned your underside purple in about thirty seconds!
Looks mint though mate, any plans for the boot lid so you can bring back the race fork?

Haha I dread to think.
Not too sure yet. Tbh it drives so much more comfortably without it. For the 4 minutes it takes to change it I'm tempted to just put it on for track days.
I can kind of hear myself think when I drive it now lol
RE: Ell Diablo - Piggy - 18-10-2013
love the purple...
but going by the underside of mine...be ready for stone chips and pigeon heads to damage the paint
RE: Ell Diablo - Just Sean - 18-10-2013
and copious amounts of oil!

Looks good Grant... Now buy my engine! Haha :-)
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 18-10-2013
Would you and Niall stop trying to get me to spend my money! lol
I have enough problems with doing that as it is, without being pointed in the direction of more things.
RE: Ell Diablo - floz123 - 18-10-2013
Haha sorry but it had to be done
sure you don't want it...special deal for you (said in a typical foreign phone sales voice)

Your missus must be devestated lol
Anyway the purple looks really good against the black underseal background
RE: Ell Diablo - Ed Doe - 19-10-2013
Looks good buddy
one thing though, I'd get some dust boots for the Rose joints on the droplinks. You'll get all kinds of swarf in them and end up with knocking droppings if you're not careful!
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 21-10-2013
Got some on order
mc gill were useless twunts and dispatched the wrong boots.
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 24-10-2013
So after what started as a silly conversation, I am now in a few minds as to how I progress with this:
-Drop a 1.8/2.0'6 hybrid engine in and boost it
-Space frame the rear of the car, drop a rover v8 in. I was budgeting for a roll cage anyway, so no major additional costs on the space frame. Rover v8's are cheap enough to pick up on fleabay. They aren't the most powerful of V8's in the world, but sound epic and are cheap to buy. Thinking logically about it, if the space frame and engine were in, theres not a HUGE cost left, besides machining down driveshafts/geabox adaptor plates.
As I said, started as a silly conversation, but I reckon it's doable for the same price as boosting a '6 engine, and would sound fapping epic

RE: Ell Diablo - Dum-Dum - 24-10-2013
Would be epic but there's space to fit one in the front and IMO front engine RWD would retain the 306s handing alot better.
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 24-10-2013
So you're saying get it up front, keep the original drivetrain and run it down the exhaust tunnel. Have suspension mounts welded into the rear, run coils on the rear and thus inevitably meaning I would need side exit exhausts because there is a drivetrain in the way?
Its a lot less work that way TBF
RE: Ell Diablo - Just Sean - 24-10-2013
side exits ftmfw
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 24-10-2013
Been looking into servicing and maintenance costs on these;
An OE quality HG set is £54
Alternator £70
Dizzy and leads £35
List goes on but the seem pretty cheap to maintain. Just the petrol costs to consider! haha
RE: Ell Diablo - Just Sean - 24-10-2013
cant be much worse than a boosted 6
RE: Ell Diablo - Midnightclub - 24-10-2013
Sooo many better V8's out there man :/
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 24-10-2013
Any suggestions Danny?
RE: Ell Diablo - Just Sean - 24-10-2013
how much do m5 lumps go for?
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 24-10-2013
£1500-£2500 lol
Although it would be epic win, out of my budget
RE: Ell Diablo - Midnightclub - 24-10-2013
Whats the budget.. and I'll give some suggestions
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 24-10-2013
£550
RE: Ell Diablo - Midnightclub - 24-10-2013
Probably.. either a 1UZ-FE or a M60B30, both pretty cheap and make substantially more power
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 24-10-2013
Fair suggestions there mate, thanks.
One main attraction to the rover V8 was the fact it was mechanically timed, hence making life a lot easier. Just got the setup/balance the carbs and pretty much thats it ready to go.
RE: Ell Diablo - Curt - 24-10-2013
Please do this... Who cares how much power it makes when it sounds like that!
Used to have a V8 Disco workhorse for carrying shit around/pulling trailers here, it was shit, slow and rotten... but sounded awesome
