Then sorted a few bits and pieces out on the car like the passenger lock etc.

[jdizzy]

looking good mate, what did u use to paint the white bit with?

[Kemixx]

Used a silver touchup pen from halFRAUDS. £4.50!! Rip off, but they have the sticks that you can use as pens aswell as brushes, and using the pen makes it loads easier.

[jdizzy]

o right cool, :) cheers

[Kemixx]

Few updates. Good and bad.

First off, chipwizards rolling road. Car made 152.7bhp on the rollers which I was very chuffed with :)

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image002.jpg

Then did another curborough sprint day :) good turnout and loads of track time.

http://kemixx.net/gallery/thumbs/lrg-42-curb_april_09_033.jpg

New decals..

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image033.jpg

Removed the lower strutbrace when I replaced my sriveshaft that snapped the other week. Pretty badly bent, and I can now get over speedbumps again!

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image050.jpg

Window decals..

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image053.jpg

And freshly painted rockers..

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image054.jpg

Then Aniversarallye - Mallory Park :)

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/ritp057.jpg

'till second/third lap and spun off on the esses and hit the tyre wall and buggered my wing/arch..

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image056.jpg

Then.. the bastard thing dumped all its oil out of the rockers and left me with a knocking bottom end :( bye bye well built engine. Luckily I have a spare 16v in the garage which i'm currently getting ready to stick in for now, and i'm going to rebuild the engine that's coming out and hopefully refit it in a few months. Heres how she stands now..

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image057.jpg

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image058.jpg

Gutted :(

[miller]

Your joking so it was the bottom end after all that?:(

[Hoyle]

Lovely car, and well put together! Just a bugger about yesterday. Feel for you mate!!

Hoyle

[Cyb3r]

unlucky eh mate? :(

[Kemixx]

miller - yep :( started knocking as soon as I started driving out of the park. thought i'd got away with it :(

cheers hoyle.

yep dean ;/ fixed yours yet?

[semtex]

Yeah he told me he beat you twice on the strip :p

he beat my times but i never went against him :( i was crap he was spot on

really bad luck with the car mate, have you thought about dropping the head off the original and putting it on the spare block ? get it up and running again on the same map ?

[Kemixx]

thought about it james but i'm in a bit of a rush to get the car back on the road for FCS/curborough etc this month. think i'm just going to drop the other engine in for now then over the next few months rebuild the other engine. still going to put the lightened flywheel on the new engine etc though

[Cyb3r]

i'm doing my clutch today :~)

[Kemixx]

Everythings out!

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image059.jpg

[hillbilly]

gutted for you mate, have you left you engine loom in the car??

[Kemixx]

yeah at the mo lol. probably going to connect it all up to the new engine before putting the engine in the car though, what do you think?

[hillbilly]

yer mate loads easier, you shoulda droped the lump out with it on, loads quicker lol.

[Kemixx]

lol wasnt too bad getting it out anyway. was surprised because i thought it would be a lot harder. only taken about 5 hours if that to get it out (probably take some people on here half that lol)

its been good though because with the engine out i found why my exhaust was rattling, why my window washers hardly worked and why i couldnt flash on my headlights. i'll probably get it all in now though and end up with even more problems lol

[hillbilly]

how many hours! lol well if you need a hand getting it in just give me a bell. took me around 5 to put mine back, took about 2-3 to get it out lol

[Kemixx]

ah right so the hard part is to come then lol. im off work wednesday/thursday - are you around then?

[hillbilly]

yer mate both days got no work booked in, and may fone in sick 4 night work lol

[Cyb3r]

takes me 45 mins to drop an engine out ;)

[Kemixx]

lol dean im not surprised. how long did it take you to change your clutch today?

wicked andy if you get bored give us a shout :D

[Kemixx]

Day 2, engine in..

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image060.jpg

Day 3, almost done..

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image061.jpg

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image062.jpg

[Sam B]

Fair play ben, getting on with that fast.

[plimmer11]

good work ben, think i am coming up yours on saturday because my mate wants some loom and a mount off you?

[Kemixx]

yeah sound. i'll probably be finishing my car off :)

[plimmer11]

wow! u havent half shifted. wots the spec gonna be on this engine then benny boy?

[Kemixx]

just a standard gti engine on mani, pugsport, ind kit, lightened flywheel and mapped ecu. probs not much more than 130bhp :( going to get my 150+er back in eventually tho. or maybe higher spec. taken me at least 10mins to perfect this post and make it readable. mega hangover tomorow no doubt

rofl working on mine 2day dude, did it start up ok after u sorted them wire's out?

[Kemixx]

Yep it's alive! First turn of the key :D shame ive lost the bit for the accelerator cable because now I can't drive the cunt. Trying to find it/trying to find places that sell solderless nipples :(

[Cyb3r]

sealed the rockers properly this time?

[Kemixx]

yeah. took it for a spin round the villege and feels a little ropey. was about to sort out clutch/accelerator and noticed top hose was pissing water again from where it joins the thermostat housing and turns out its because theres a crack in it. why did peugeot use a plastic end? ffs. so now on hunt for a new one of those. and a cambelt because this one is whining and the engine has been sat for over a year.

[DansWhiteRocket]

Try a bike shop Ben for the throttle cable end thing ;) if the cambelts whining its probably too tight

[Kemixx]

yeah hillbillys gona come down next week and give me a hand changing it. picked one up now from motor components. fits like a glove. only problem with it at the mo is the hole is to small to take the whole cable so I need to drill it out a bit. dont suppose you have a thermostat housing dan? :/

[DansWhiteRocket]

the whole thing that mounts to the engine? might have one i'll have a route int garage when im at home next

[Kemixx]

ok mate cheers when you next at home? trying to get the car on the road monday/tuesday. only really need the plastic bit that bolts to the thermostat housing that clamps in the thermostat :)

[DansWhiteRocket]

shiz not home till then bud :/ you could try using a JP4 one off a C2 etc they have a metal hose-to-thermostat thingy :p

[Kemixx]

ah thats what i've been thinking about getting! didnt know they existed though! Do they mate up with the gti housing?

[DansWhiteRocket]

you just replace the whole thing - the plastic and the metal bit :) straight swap :)

[Kemixx]

would the c2 bit fit onto the gti housing though? if worst comes to worst and i have to order from pug/citroen a whole housing would cost a bomb

[DansWhiteRocket]

dont think so bud the gti is a 3 bolt plate thing whereas the Jp4 is 2bolt iirc

get yourself to a scrappy and nab one :D

[Kemixx]

where am I going to find a scrappy with a gti/c2? :p

[DansWhiteRocket]

the engines in C2 GT's, berlingo's, 307's, 206's, Xsara's :) Any local scrap yards will do :)

[Kemixx]

don't think we've got any of those in our local :(

[hillbilly]

i reckon i know where 1 is lol just had a thort

[Kemixx]

She's alive!

Had an issue with the timing being out by 1 tooth. Whoever sold me the engine about a year ago is a complete penis. Belt was too tight, belt was the wrong way round (not that it makes much difference but still), tensioner bolt was rounded and the locking arch bit that was attached to the cam was snapped. Not only that, but the alternator is fucked and the engine was missing loads of bits.

Thanks to Plimmer, Cooper, Hillbilly off here and a load of other people that gave me a hand getting the car back on the road!

Made use of semtex brolly :p
http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image065.jpg

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image064.jpg

Fresh cambelt and a bit of a tidyup..

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image066.jpg

[amy]

Nice to see its back up and running how it should be :)

[hillbilly]

waheyyyyyy bout time. got there in the end tho mate.

[Kemixx]

yep :) now just gotta find a weekend to get the new dash in :D

Sorted out my cd player (well, got rid of the tape player and stuck in a shitty cd player i had from 2+ years ago. found out it plays mp3 cd's and CD-RW though so - bonus! :D can get rid of cd changer in boot now.

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image0681.jpg

also made a cover for the headlight I dropped till i get chance to go down the scrappy. if you want to make one yourself, all you need is a morrisons plastic bag, parcel tape and speaker cable.

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image069.jpg

http://kemixx.net/gallery/images/gallery/car/image0710.jpg

you'd never know ;)

[Aleksandr]

haha, legend!

[hillbilly]

DUDE may have a s1 light garage jst crnt remember what side

[Kemixx]

send us a text tomorow billyboy

[VTR turbo]

glad to see the car went to someone who will look after it paul spent a bloody fortune with me on that
shame about the engine, make sure the head is ok as thats what produced most of the power adam from acc enginering spent about 2 months porting that head

[Kemixx]

Yeah the head is staying put. I don't think there will be any issues there because I didn't run the car past the point where the bottom end was knocking.

Are aac still going? I wanted to take the engine back to them to have it rebuilt. Their prices seem really reasonable too looking at Pauls old invoice. (although prices might have gone up since 2006 lol)

Glad to find some more out about the car too. Out of interest, are you VTR turbo from 106oc?

[VTR turbo]

no im not on 106oc
the price paul got from adam at aac was because pula has known him since he was 5 years old, adam would hapily rebuild the engine for you if not then we could do it

[Kemixx]

Yeah that would be great :) only doewnside is the 2 hour drive :(

[Kemixx]

Updates..

Had a few teething problems with new engine. Starter motor earth came off and ended up having to get bumped out of FCS.. fuel hose popped off, battery fell out of tray etc. My bodge bolt tightening.

Things yet to go on the car..

Custom filter box from Sam B with green cotton airfilter. Have now attached the pipe from my old raceland and some silicone hoses bits I bought at FCS. Just need to chop the pipe down and spray it then that can go on..
