The 2.1TD is an absolute boat anchor of an engine compared to the GTi6 or 8v HDi

Awesome work piglet, you've kept it neat too, unlike a lot of track slags. This looks pretty much stock (from the outside at least) 



Looking forward to seeing it out on track!


RE: 2.1GTd....THE WEIGH IN! - Piggy - 09-04-2015

The 2.1 is no heavier than the gti6 lump if not a little lighter and the hdi box is lighter than the gti6 box

Ruddybrakes.

All was going well...

Until...

So anton has some calipers for me which is good. 

And i lowered the beam and fitted the 24mm arb instead.
Beam guna be stripped and rebuilt next winter. Some dampness on the old arb Undecided


RE: 2.1GTd....THE WEIGH IN! - bashbarnard - 11-04-2015

Ah well at least its the cheapest calliper on the car.


RE: 2.1GTd....THE WEIGH IN! - Toms306 - 11-04-2015

Would've thought you'd have tools for removing snapped nipples? Or is it just not worth the hassle for how cheap a new one is?


RE: 2.1GTd....THE WEIGH IN! - bashbarnard - 11-04-2015

I do. But once they are in bad they are stuck. Also have a tool to put new larger ones in as well. Cheaper for new calliper though cause of labour. Assuming you were talking to me.


RE: 2.1GTd....THE WEIGH IN! - Piggy - 11-04-2015

I have started to drill the bugga out as it aint budging with all the tools I have. Annoying as its been undone a few times a year.


RE: 2.1GTd....THE WEIGH IN! - Toms306 - 11-04-2015

I was meaning Piggy really, probably should've made that clearer... lol

Ah I see, fair enough then. Seems odd if its been undone recently though, the ones I've snapped in the past probably hadn't been touched in 10 years lol.


RE: 2.1GTd....THE WEIGH IN! - bashbarnard - 11-04-2015

Thats just nuts

I refuse to fall in the fold and pay silly money for what were standar wheels on an old mans C5.

I am hopefully picking up a set monday night for £20


RE: 2.1GTd....THE WEIGH IN! - Poodle - 12-04-2015

You've seen what people pay for nimrods right? Amd these are actually rare and worth having lol.

Nope. I paid £100 for mine with four pretty much new tyres from Sam. I have to agree with piggy though dude. That is far to much for what essentially look like steel wheels.


RE: 2.1GTd....THE WEIGH IN! - Piggy - 13-04-2015

Yeah I'm not with the super elite pricing on basic citroen rims. Anyhow...

New rear calipers getting the treatment...

[attachment=22648]


RE: 2.1GTd....time to finish stuff... - Piggy - 13-04-2015

They are coming on nicely...first coat on them.

In other news, have fitted the fan resistor and wired up the ph1 heater controls and light. Yay I have a heater/windscreeb demister

Also lowered the beam another 55mm

I'm desperate to get out in it, weather been so good. Just need to finish these brakes and tidy the wiring and I'm going for a long drive this weekend!


RE: 2.1GTd....time to finish stuff... - zx_volcane - 13-04-2015

why are the rear brakes off? those nipples don't like being drilled out


RE: 2.1GTd....time to finish stuff... - 1616six - 13-04-2015

Just out of interest in your videos you always say 'we' and 'we've' but I've only ever seen you working alone and you've never mentioned anyone else.

Is it just you incorrectly using the majestic pronoun or is there someone we don't see helping?

Ziggy is always useful and I can't do anything without my awesome wife Smile

(13-04-2015, 06:42 PM)zx_volcane Wrote: why are the rear brakes off? those nipples don't like being drilled out

Well one nipple snapped and as i wanted to service them and strip them back to repaint, i got a pair of calipers off Anton.
Also, the calipers I had were long in the tooth...I scraped through my yellow paint...then green, then red, then blue, the red, then black. lol

Any ideas to get this ruddy nipple out??

The nipple is hard as nails to drill Undecided

What drill are you using?

Can't you get something in it and reverse the drill to unwind it?


RE: 2.1GTd....time to finish stuff... - Piggy - 14-04-2015

Cobalt bits


RE: 2.1GTd....time to finish stuff... - Matt-Rallye - 14-04-2015

Im currently looking into fitting clio 172 rear calipers onto the rallyes rear axle, might be worth a look.

Why on earth would he need to use a SDS drill for drilling out bleed nipples?
