Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Matt-Rallye - 14-08-2014
Hi all,
Been a while since i was actively posting on here after pugfest due too changing jobs etc so heres my new daily drive...
Tis Razorback Robs old X reg 5dr HDi LX in Moonstone
Here it was the day i picked it up:
![[Image: IMG_1122_zps71923c75.jpg]](http://s143.photobucket.com/user/matt-taylor/media/IMG_1122_zps71923c75.jpg.html)
It now has the following good bits:
Stage 1 map (smokey)
Hoffman decat
Straight through exhaust
GTi6 front brakes
GTi6 frot suspension
Sachs gas rear dampers
And the bodywork is suprisingly tidy for a 192k base model HDi

So after a week of driving it with a shitload of knocking suspension and really soggy rear suspension me and zakk got it in his workshop on the ramp for a goold ol 306 themed evening!

Decat:

New shockers:

And we found all the knocking to be from a threaded bolt on the drivers side wishbone! All sorted now
zakk even found the time too graffiti my car...![[Image: IMG_1147_zps78e2cd0c.jpg]](http://s143.photobucket.com/user/matt-taylor/media/IMG_1147_zps78e2cd0c.jpg.html)
After it performing so well following this i decided to treat it too a small scrub up...

![[Image: IMG_1181_zps212b6ba8.jpg]](http://s143.photobucket.com/user/matt-taylor/media/IMG_1181_zps212b6ba8.jpg.html)
Looks alot better than how it usually looks
![[Image: IMG_1135_zpsad59ea5a.jpg]](http://s143.photobucket.com/user/matt-taylor/media/IMG_1135_zpsad59ea5a.jpg.html)
So as always i want more power and more essentially, more driveability! With me now working for a breakers yard its alot easier to come across parts ad alot cheaper if i want them for myself! So far the plan is to make a cheapo stage 2+ VNT setup and cobble it together and see whats possible and how reliable it is.
Managed to grab some bits from a 406 HDi that came in.

Cleaned up and decoked inlet elbow:

Yes this is the £300 weapon of choice
Found a GT17vt from an early bmw 320d on the shelf yesterday but also found an IHI VJ24 thats a fraction of the price... decisions

I also found a gt1749va from a 130 TDi VW passat at work

Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Razorback_Rob - 16-08-2014
Got to say I'm proud my old hdi is still soldiering on even after my abuse in my ownership [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]
RE: Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Matt-Rallye - 20-08-2014
And its still getting daily abuse
Gonna order a clutch cable for it tomorrow and then see if that solves my clutch issues. Silly hdi!
RE: Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Matt-Rallye - 21-08-2014
Take a bow Euro Car Parts - Hereford!
Ordered at 8am, not i stock but still delivered too my desk at work for 1pm! and for the bargain price of £24.90 inc VAT

Wish the fitting of it could be so enjoyable... Stupid A/C car!
RE: Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Matt-Rallye - 05-09-2014
Slight update too this..
So the clutch cable snapped on me on my way home from work the same day i ordered the new cable so i tought too myself "im here at the roadside with no clutch and have a brand new cable.. whats the worst that could happen?"
Yeah.. was at the roadside for roughly 4 hours fixing the clutch cable then noticed my high pressure derv line was split and leaking diesel everywhere!
All bodged now though
So new shiny bits...

Looks tidy buddy! Wish I had that garage. Do you still want that Forge ticket?
RE: Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Matt-Rallye - 11-09-2014
Well my weekend last week was well and truly f**ked.
Firstly some little chief put his fist through my window on saturday night.
![[Image: IMG_1370_zps9f5f8931.jpg]](http://s143.photobucket.com/user/matt-taylor/media/IMG_1370_zps9f5f8931.jpg.html)

And secondly the rallye got damaged sunday evening but i'll keep that to the rallye thread.
Window all fixed now and didnt cost me anything but still cheesed off about it.
RE: Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Frosty - 11-09-2014
Bit of a bugger about the window getting smashed. Would of liked to think if there where kind enough to smash your window they could of also cleared the rubbish from out your car
RE: Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Eeyore - 11-09-2014
Good job new doors are cheap enough. Not much wiring to mess with either with it being the rear one! Bad luck though. I would be very annoyed and havent been unlucky enough for anyone to smash mine yet :/
RE: Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Matt-Rallye - 11-09-2014
I simply removed two complete doors from a GLX meridian at work so will have electric rear windows for my troubles
Unless someone wants too buy the full rear electric window kit?
RE: Matts daily budget stage 1+ HDi LX. - Piggy - 11-09-2014
I tried to months to sell the kit without joy.
Just need a nice bumper on it now

Dont confuse it with the 1.8 TDDI which is shit, i have only ever had good experiences with the 1.8 TDCI units.
