He's not bailing though! It's just on hold!
Something epic will be done soon enough, I know this as he KEEPS on going on about it.... Plus, he's got a partner in crime that is pestering him to do it as soon as possible (Strictly_Troll)
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - Poodle - 13-09-2012
You're missing the point completely, putting it on hold because of other obligations isn't bailing, never said it was. However, swapping the good idea for a boring-as-fook one IS a bail. I'm not angry dude, just disappointed...
Anyway, will keep my fingers crossed the project reappears in future. Hopefully in an interesting guise, rather than this boosted-6 boringness that has cropped up. :p
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - strictly_perv - 13-09-2012
I can't imagine a boosted '6 to be boring to drive than say a stage 1 XUD
I've told you before, my garage is open to the engine build, not normaly welcome to the real fuel of satan but as it will be boosted so it will be OK.
So get that big thumb off you ginger head and get building
/Troll out.

*moves in the already purchased GTI*
But srsly max, no doubt once xmas is out the way, and all settled, i'll get a lump dropped over,
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - strictly_perv - 13-09-2012
I've got a lovely 1.8 engine sat in my garage just waiting for a turbo and a car to lug around. It runs on mans juice too
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - ginge191 - 13-09-2012
thought you had a 1.8NAD in there from the shoebox you call a car?
[troll size=small]trolldad[/troll]
Anywhooo.... we shall get to the scrapyard next week
?
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - strictly_perv - 13-09-2012
Ha nah it was a turbo engine, just needs putting back together.
Hmm there's no GTI's there, maybe a 1.8 though...
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - Matt - 13-09-2012
Bailer

ah ok, well we can see what there is, see if any of the blocks are worth keeping; whip the heads off and check the bores there and then. could be an easier option.
Also, do you want any of my tools round your place? i've got a heap load including a low entry jack?
get on facebook chat mate
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - strictly_perv - 13-09-2012
Sounds like a plan.
I would happily take the jack, would come in pretty handy

Low entry jack??
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - Birk - 13-09-2012
I've got a few bottem ends in various states if interested, £60

standard parts from XU10 J4RS ?
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - Birk - 13-09-2012
Yes mate.
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - 4WayDiablo - 14-09-2012
Bark has just said on FB he could make a turbo manifold for £550
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - ginge191 - 14-09-2012
I'm at work, please pass link onto my Facebook! Love you!
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - ginge191 - 17-10-2012
So...
It seems this is back on track; house move has all gone well and cash flow is sorted (as much as it can be at least)
Myself, strictlyderv and misstap_gti6 will be preogressing this at a relatively slow pace - as projects do - and hopefully speak to Mr Birk soon to give me a heads up if this manifold is a go.
Got a decent XU7JP4 block on the way from an admin over on the 205gti forums; he's managed to remove a rod and piston for me, so i'll get this measured up once i get my vernier gauge back from the island and send it off (finally) to PEC to see what they can forge up for me.
A few GTI bits im after;
- decent head; not a HG fail or belt shredder
- gti box
- unlocked ECU and looms
As for dropping this into a shell, considering a 205 shell and tag-teaming with max; after working on his car, and seeing the ease these are to work on, it would seem ideal to use this.
Apologies for the delay, hopefully this picks up pace again
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - Dum-Dum - 17-10-2012
Sounds good, You need to bear in mind that the 205s apparently dont handle quite as well as the 306s so is that a fair trade off for being 200kg lighter.
If you want a loom speak to scottgay as hes defo got one in his garage.

Agree with you on the handling front comparing standard GTI's but 306 shocks and springs fit on 205's and it's cheap as chips to get them better than '6 with some hybrid parts. I'm sure a cage will be on the cards to stiffen it further.
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - ginge191 - 17-10-2012
All in good time
by scottgay, i guess you mean scottginger
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - Scott - 17-10-2012
That would be me
I have a standard loom as well as a cut down loom.
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - ginge191 - 17-10-2012
I'd presume I'd take the full look then cut down once I figure the wiring out with a standalone etc.
pm me Scott
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - Poodle - 18-10-2012
So no bail...?
RE: 1.8-Mi16-GTI6-T - ginge191 - 18-10-2012
I never said i was bailing; and remember trying to correct you Alex when you said i was /facepalm...
But yeh, as misstap says up there ^^^
