I don't care about book times etc, or I would have been down the 1/4mile with all the other boyzzz.
I only did the times/video because people kept on at me for them! And don't forget the dozen or so people who follow this thread on 306oc don't allow for the others who only watch my videos... So info like what other cars compare is useful to them.
What happened to banter?! Seems fine in every other thread on here but this one.
Chill pill people. Take one quick!

Prove it wrong then...
I am a bit dumb to be honest as i havent found figures for acceleration for low boost gti6...
I am honestly curious
("destroy" was a rather brave word to use wasn't it...
Well my lowest boost is 7 psi 240 bhp engine
nice to see im on par with your fiqures there with my eaton. Sadly no willy waving from me or my mapper.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - deggerz - 18-10-2015
Dont see the point in willy waving, good build and all, but ive seen the videos, ive seen you on the track, ill compare sizes with you at FCS
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - ADV_93 - 19-10-2015
Lol this forum
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Niall - 19-10-2015
This is a bit silly now. At the end of the day, who gives a toss about how quick these cars are. What Piggy has built is impressive...but theres also a lot of other impressive builds on the forum. At the end of the day, you should be proud of what you have created and enjoy it to the max. Not trying to make it sound better than it is to the point where people just want to shoot you down because in all honesty, you're being a bit self important.
Piggy, i would love to see how my car and yours would match up. Not because i want to willy wave (or give you a chance to) but because they are both very similar power and i would genuinely be interested to put the argument to sleep so to speak. There has always been the stories of "my diesel is quicker than any petrol" or vice versa but you don't see many people actually doing it!
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - kentiiboii - 19-10-2015
Diesel 306s keep up with gti6 up to about 120ish after that the gti6 has it due to gearing.
But that's a highly tuned diesel and standard gti6.
Spend same amount of money on a gti6 and gti6 will own it all day long.

RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - kentiiboii - 20-10-2015
Yes which is why you compare piggys to a charged gti6 or something that way it's equal
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Piggy - 20-10-2015
From now on, I only compare my car to my abilities and previously or currently owned cars.
Be silly to compare a home brew tuned diesel setup to a very expensive charged gti6 when all is done and said.
This is the first diesel engine i have EVER built from ground up. First time i have made a manifold. First time I have dabbled in arduino....the list goes on.
For all these firsts to happen on this one car, my car, and to be getting the results I have...
I am proud.
I am also deeply grateful for those who have helped with their knowledge and expertise to help me accomplish things I thought I never would.
Those that wish to do their best to talk me down, make me feel small and essentially bully me, please make such comments behind my back or to a wall, because I don't care and don't want to hear it.

The info and experince you have gained you could rebuild this car with in half of the time.
If people wish to talk you down, let them piggy, after all they are only spoiling the car forum.

thankyou fella
So needed to do a few little things...
Essentially:
coolant loss/leak
brake fluid leak
gearbox oil leak
see if can find oil leak
horrific knock on NSF
So I found leak, nipped up a jubilee for that.
Replaced section of brake line.
Removed drive shaft, cleaned shaft seal lip and replaced 'box seal for the THIRD time. (this time with a Febi one) Topped up with proper stuff.
Clean off back of sump to try and spot oil leak asap.
removed strut brace and "adjusted" (read: used a big grinder) the gap for the damper adjusters which look like they rubbing.
Stripped down NSF suspension strut, checked for damaged anything and play anywhere... replaced strut top mount and bearing (Used Febi/Bilstein parts)
Go for test drive feeling all happy and confident.....
Stop at end of road and "CLUNK"... pull away to "CLUNK CLONK CLUNK"... DAMN KNOCK IS STILL THERE!!!!
Get back home... coolant STILL leaking and gearbox STILL leaking.
Whole bloody day taken off work to do all these little bits.... and I didn't even manage to do ALL the things I wanted and I STILL have a major suspension noise!
Little annoyed right now.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Danny Wideboy - 27-10-2015
Driveshaft knock? My last 306 had it and I must have jacked it up and wobbled everything in the wheel arch 20 times before I sussed out what it was.
205 had a nasty knocking that also turned out to be driveshaft.

Driveshaft been replaced, no play in it whatsoever
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Toms306 - 27-10-2015
Its a 306 you can't stop all the leaks, just move them further along...
Where was your new driveshaft from? If it's a cheap one, not impossible that it's not perfect, or was the noise the same before replacement? You can't always feel them either, I had one knocking on the GTi6 that felt fine but noise disappeared after changing.
Also you mentioned a loose caliper, they make a single knock on pull away/lift off also, I had that on a 106 after forgetting to torque the caliper bolts so they vibrated loose lol.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - ginge191 - 30-10-2015
Wishbones been replaced recently? Possibly wrong sized balljoint causing an issue?
Haven't read back to when this suspension noise started in your thread but know how irritating it can be.
What HAVE you checked thoroughly?

Noise same before/after with shaft.
Caliper wa slightly loose on its sliders, packed in more grease!

Wishbones still same as when I built the whole thing up 2yrs ago.
Ok, checked:
Wishbone/related bushes.
Bearings/TREs
Hub ovaling
Hub bolts
Top mount/bearing replaced
Strut damper movement
Shafts
Subframe bolts
PAS bolts
Caliper
Lower engine mount
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - 1616six - 30-10-2015
Could it be box related?

That is what I have been starting to think tbh JJ.
I do have a spare... But want to rule everything else out and tbh Ive never heard this typical suspension/joint clonk from a gearbox before.
I have yet to check thoroughly the two main gearbox/engine mounts... Aiming to do that later if it stops chucking it down and I can get on with work!
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - 1616six - 30-10-2015
Mrs JJ had an ep1 civic which had a box knock which for months I thought was shaft/suspension. Seems like clutching at straws but when you've checked as much as you have then you have to start working up the chain!
If it's not engine/box mounts and you're certain you've checked the things you have properly then considering you've got a spare box it seems like the next step really.

Next step in man logic terms is to do a Tom and fit a quaife diff

Oh no, i really really want you to put a diff in this!
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Stef205 - 30-10-2015
wouldn't advise a quaiffe or tran-x to be fair both old tech now and from my experiences the quaiffe is no better than a oem diff. Just my opinion tho
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - 1616six - 30-10-2015
My brother in law works at quaife if you need anything
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Lwilliams - 30-10-2015
There's a quaife in the SHB gti I got an it is very good tbh....
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Paul_13 - 30-10-2015
I'm happy with the quaiffe I've got in the 205,definitely feel a difference over standard.

RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Piggy - 30-10-2015
Anyway... While you are all arguing over how to spend my winter budget...
I put some fresh coolant in the racetractor. 3-4 flushes I think in the end...
Then 10 litres.
Yup, 10.
Guess that shows the extra capacity of that ally rad!
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - bashbarnard - 30-10-2015
Bloody hell 10 litres. I need a rad upgrade!
