White phase 1, now with added truck turbo and massive head gasket failure
spent alot of time looking at the front end of the car today, trying to decide if it will look good with a set of phase 1 morrettes instead of the crystals

Not a fan of morettes myself but think they look tonnes better with the indicator as part of the lights.
Only ever seen one set for the 306 and it was on here the other week.
Tbh I think thats what puts me off with them tbh.

Liike I say if the indicators were incorporated they would look 10x better.
Ill try to find the pic

Only reason I would consider them would be for a cold air feed but thats me.

They suit cars with big intercoolers hanging out the front, so on your car, they would look good Smile

Anything over 150 Il be happy with since the engines still in its early stages of running this set up.
its still running a stock 9mm pump while I'm still troubleshooting and chasing boost leaks around.
if all goes well at the dyno Itl be major upgrade time Smile

really not comfortable leaving the car in town for any amount of time, especially with how many people go and look at it whenever i park it anywhere, so bought some locking bonnet pins for a little added security to stop any light fingered individuals helping themselves to engine components while the cars unnattended

Busy evening preparing for saturday, did some pump work to make sure i get the best out of it on the dyno so some extreme lda pin grinding

[Image: IMAG0644_zps812e8bde.jpg]

glued the rub strips back on with some aerospace grade stuff from work, also repaired a couple of small cracks in the skirts

[Image: IMAG0649_zps8935abdc.jpg]

then a quick steam clean and 3 coats of carnuba wax polish, dont think its ever been shinier Smile

I'd recommend getting that completely flat at the top on the LDA pin because on my fist one I notice it actually pushed the pin back when it was all the way down looking at the markings on it.

that did cross my mind, so ive wound the lda screw back in slightly so that the pin doesn't travel up too far. pushed it up and down dozens of times to get a mark on the lda pin and so far so good as the pin seems to be reaching the deepest bit of the grind and staying there.

il have a go at grinding a flat pin when i get the 11mm pump build underway again
