Moonstone Blue D-turbo

[AndyG]

So here it is at fcs (i hadnt bought it at this point)
   
then here it is a few months after the fcs when the seller was selling it (didnt really like it at this point so i was looking for another derv)
   
then about for weeks later it had come down in price so i thought just with the stuff i knew he had done the engine it was worth while so i picked her up like this...
   

since buying it i havent really done much too it apart from this small list:

- Good Clean
- new pump bracket
- new timing belt and water pump got done when the bracket got changed
- new glow plugs
- new alternator and belt
- all filters done
- gets an oil change every 2/3 weeks
- Bosch Battery
- Double din head unit fitted
- new pads and discs
- 307 alloys

Things that need doing are as followed:

- new heater/fan switch (this should be sorted wednesday)
- rear bumper has mine has a crack (does any one have one? )
- new bonnet mine has minor dents in
- xantia manifold
- Fuel cut off solonoid (this will be done wednesday)
- Front Splitter
- Angel Headlights (orderedon there way)


the engine:

- xud of course
- td04
- fmic
- bosch pump
- grinded lda pin
- gov mod
- 11mm ford transit head
- Straight Through stainless exhaust

- Hdi rear axle
- lowered all round not sure on height think 60 on front back obviously torsion bar not sure how much

Boosting at a comfortable 28psi atm untill the new clutch comes mine isnt slipp just cba if it starts

[strictly_perv]

Looks really smart. Is it just me or do moonstones look much better in 5 doors?

[AndyG]

quick update car has a small hole in the fuel tank some how :/ but got a new tank getting fitted next week has it is only a tiny hole that only leaks after its about a quater full also got some new speakers the only reason being is passenger side broke so bought some of these http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/store...yId_265870

and they were a direct fit so was a easy enough job

quick update on the car taking a turn for the worst haha

so i had abit of trouble thinking my fuel pump was knackered tried multiple pumps with no joy, dad spends 5 mins looking opened sender tank and the little black seal was missing so it was sucking air. My bad easy fix that was in the end, but in the process i had a lucas pump on which meant changing injectors frombosch to lucas this is where i learnt never let someone torque them up or put them in, not going to mention any names but he cross threaded the last injector! so when i came to put the bosch ones back on it just spun brilliant wouldn't tighten back up

so got on to a good friend Mr Pagett as hes breaking his car and went and picked is head up looks mint so going to be fitting this over the weekend untill then the head will be getting cleaned to prestine condition, then i will be taking 2 full days to get my head off and the new one back on.

After all this as been completed the pump will be getting gov modded and a valeo clutch fiited hopefully

ill get pics of how clean the head comes up on wednesday

---

quick bit to be added on..it got a new timing belt a few days ago and padge let me have is 2 week old ngk glow plugs bonus

and just before any comments taking 2 days to do the head change its becasue i will be cleaning alot of the bay might pop the pump off and give it a quick clean depending on time

Looks good mate. Not convinced with the bonnet scoop, but each to their own. Need some bigger wheels though.

waiting for a nice moonstone one to pop up somewhere this bonnet was as cheap as chips and mine was creased :/ really want some challengers tbh or cyclones but need to find some cheap then i can refurb them

[AndyG]

cylinder head is now done, new clutch next week and im now on the look out for some cyclones its getting there haha

[Arron]

Good lad.

Get another bonnet asap bud

[AndyG]

didnt want to jynx myself by putting it up but going to have a look at one its smoothed and theres no dints etc so ive been told... and he wants £20 for bonnet and and the grill so should hopefully have it by the weekend as long as its not broke in two pieces it should be a good buy

[padge]

glad its coming along nice now mate, come a bit later for the clutch though lol.

[AndyG]

so been on a course all week come back to a sticking injector how i love have this car i don't know! any way got a pic of it with the new head on and double din head unit in and guess what ill be doing tomorrow

[Arron]

That looks owite. Bit distracting to look down there when changing tracks tho!!!

[Eeyore]
