Declantg's HDI project..

[Poodle]

Amazing! Going the whole hog -skimmed pistons etc, or just the thicker gasket for now? Got a turbo lined up or going for something more exotic?

[declantg]

Nah probably just standard pistons until I can afford it, possibly hdi rods.
Yeah got one lined up
Still gotta get cash for it though!



Also update: removing the b pillar vinyl as we speak

[declantg]

So decided to strip today, also got some slate metal paint to do the floor

   

[Tom]

This car is so very awesome! Going to be maaaad with an xud!

[declantg]

Thanks mate yeah I can't wait!

[declantg]

   

Floors painted now, going to do a second coat though

[declantg]

   

Final coats on now!

[ozonehostile]

stripped? but now where will you entertain young ladies?

[Ruan]

Awesome dude, you driven it with the seats out yet?

It feels SO much more racecar with them out!

However, I find it induces me to drive like a bell end.

[declantg]

Bonnet nah I will have a towel in the back for their knees

Ruan I'm now fitting my aux belt then I'm off for a "spirited" drive

[declantg]

Haha only thinking of them

[Tom]

Haha hero! I just removed my spare and that stupid carriage and the rear seats! Like Ruan says i feel like a racer haha

[declantg]

Just been for a drive and f*cking hell, I'm in love!!

[declantg]

Still can't get over this. There is no more "swing" into the corners it just turns and is on rails!

If you are thinking of stripping, you won't look back 100% guaranteed

QFT!!!

It just makes the car feel alive... None of the dead feeling when you throw it into a corner, you know what's going on, you can hear every note of the engine... Perfection.

[declantg]

Couldn't have said it better

[Eeyore]

why are you spraying the inside grey when its moonstrone anyway?

[declantg]

Just wanted it a different color

[declantg]

Took a few photos today to show current progress I suppose!

This 100%, I used to chuck my DT around when it had no interior, was awesome!

[sam]

Why you putting an xud in? Confused?

[declantg]

Because this engines f*cked, heads gone, fuel leak, 180k, so might as well do the swap as XUD is winning

[sam]

Ahhh understand

[declantg]

Also i much prefer the xud engine, just this will have the winning of ph3

[vlj]

Looks much better with all the wheels white

[declantg]

Thanks mate

[declantg]

Bit of an update, as my mates a remapper he put on a custom map until it blows up

[David]

[ashkid]
