rd's moonstone HDi Project - Now Stanced

[samass]

it means you'll need some fettling of the arches to make them fit, as they will stick out farther than the standard wheels

check out www.willtheyfit.com , stadard 306 is et18 i think, and standard tyre size should be 195/55/r15

you'll probably have to run a bit of stretch too id imagine

[rd070707]

cheers mate helpful link. so arches will need rolled? what would be a good tyre for the wellers do you think?

[samass]

you could probably get away with 195/45 or even 195/55, with a little bit of arch work. not really sure bh, this isn't my area of expertise, cwspellowe might have a better idea...

[rd070707]

Question....will 14" wellers fit over hdi brakes? eyeing up a set cos i think with mega lows it would look cool

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160917063705?s...1423.l2649

[samass]

possibly. depends on the offest. standard 14" 306 steelies do

[rd070707]

see thats the weird thing, my spare wheel is a 14" steelie and it wouldnt fit over the brakes. and i got one from a pug breaker one time off a 306 and it didnt go over lol.

[samass]

what shape were the holes in them? the ones with round holes dont fit, but the ones with oval holes (see my sig) do

[rd070707]

right right lol. well im still to hear back from this guy as to what the offset is. think they would look awesome tho. need the centres bored out too but i can get that sorted

[Oil-burner]

Offset is worked out from the mating face to the centre of the wheel so ET0 is mating face dead centre of the wheel

Feckin el, you type like demons! Thought I'd replied to the wrong thread! Lol

[rd070707]

yeah mate still waiting to hear back lol.

anyway update as more is happening now:

bought the ta coilovers off samass, getting fitted this weekend if they are there on time lol.



also purchased some low mileage injectors off a berlingo off ebay and picked up another set of half leathers with a good drivers bolster so il be changing that

so future plans are:
-lower roughly 60mm all round
-fit injectors
-sort aux belt tensioner which needs replaced
-fit new seats
-fit new right hand door and wing - these are the two duff bits of bodywork on the car and theres a local moonstone for breaking with good ones on
-decat and possibly stage 1 map after a good service
-oh and roof racks, black masks and black badges lol

[rd070707]

Injectors arrived today need to get new seals and washers for them. Anybody have any tips on removing/ fitting?

Also I'm on the look out for wheels if anyone sees anything that may be of interest. Going for a euro look but hard to find in 4x108 pcd

[rd070707]

small update decided to paint my badge black diy style lol. few pics:





now i want black masks!

[rd070707]

coilovers and rear shocks are in massive improvement in handling, a lot more solid up front. MOT is on saturday so fingers crossed, then to get more bits sorted

[rd070707]

MOT passed! now to sort my binding brakes and crank pulley lol

[rd070707]

hmmm phase one 306 nearby for sale, massively tempted to swap lol

[rd070707]

thought I would give a quick update as I havent in ages lol. Coilovers are in and its lowered at the rear too. Got my roof bars fitted too as well as tiidying up the interior



plans going forward are:

decat, de backbox
gti brakes
new wheels
stage one map after a good service

heading down the euro route with the appearance so we will see what it ends up like lol

will get up some good pics after shes got a good clean

[Oil-burner]

small update decided to paint my badge black diy style lol. few pics:





now i want black masks!

Then it will look very much like this



Infact the pic angle is very similar too lol

[rd070707]

Lol yours is cleaner and have black masks...which I WANT! hopefully will look more distinct when its finished though

[Piggy]

looking real clean...very nice

[Oil-burner]

Haha get them in the oven then pal, if you crack on you can have them back on the car tomorrow!

[kentiiboii]

Haha get them in the oven then pal, if you crack on you can have them back on the car tomorrow!

Need to do mine when weather warms up ill have crystals from dturbo to

[rd070707]

I have a list of stuff to do don't have the time for the masks atm. Had to raise the back end up a bit as it was rubbing. Will be interesting to see how long this beam lasts now...it does have camber and being lowered probs don't help but we'll see haha.

The wheels let it down massively lol. Hate lasers

[rickye]

Ah don't worry bout camber, mines got a lot of camber n still drives fine

Looks the part just needs cyclones

[kentiiboii]

Bearing on my dturbo had shot and camber one side. Can't even tell tbh!

[rd070707]

Been driving it this evening and tbh it doesn't sound as dodgey now but the camber on the left side is epic. Although it still clears the inner arch a fair bit, to the eye it looks worse lol.

il not bother with clones lad think il just wait to get my new wheels, and if all goes to plan they should be awesome

[DazzaHDI]

cyclones ftw ive got a black 2.0HDI with cyclones on, low profile tyres but i get wheel wobble at 70+ so im gonna get my other set of cyclones sprayed white and put on, what you reckon lads?

---

ohhh what you lads done under the bonnet to give you more poke? other than the obvious like remapping etc

[rd070707]

There's good guides on here for Hdi tuning which has all the info you need in detail

[rd070707]

picked up a near rear drivers door today, had a dent in mine which someone tried to fix but failed lol.

oil-burner one of my lights has condensation on the inside, could it be saved in the process of doing the masks or am i better just looking for a new headlight?

camber ftw


i need STANCE! oh and it needs a clean

[Oil-burner]

Yeah mate, should be fine as long as theres no cracks in it.
Just make sure you whack loads of silicone round it.

[rd070707]

cheers mate need to get this done makes such a difference. the list just gets bigger and bigger lol
