nice looking motor. u collecting GTi's now?

by **Ollie** Sat 04 Sep 2010, 01:39

lol nah, only 2, sure simon has more than that, xsi is off so will be back down to two 306s soon enough

by **Simon** Sat 04 Sep 2010, 02:42

306 owners all know that 3-4 306s are always best there is a possabillity that at least 1 is in working condition

Looks nice and clean in the pics Ollie, will you be keeping it standard?

by **Simon** Sat 04 Sep 2010, 06:44

Green Wheels?

by **Ollie** Sat 04 Sep 2010, 08:25

will be fitting a few bits off the xsi such as the quickshift and the wind deflectors and throwing my phase 1 interior in it, not sure if i'll do anything else as I've got hte other one to work on but i'm sure it'll probably end up with something Very Happy

by **Simon** Sat 04 Sep 2010, 09:06

1 to commute and 1 for track ?

by **Ollie** Sat 04 Sep 2010, 09:15

yep

can't wait to get back behind the wheel at the moment. still got a week and a half before i'm allowed Sad

by **Ollie** Tue 07 Sep 2010, 07:05

woop woop, dad picked it up tonight for me Very Happy

only problem, clutch is stiff as anything, any suggestions?

by **Simon** Tue 07 Sep 2010, 07:23

Cable will need replacing, there is a self adjuster on the line which is expertly located below the exhaust manifold causing it to seize (from heat) and make the pedal feel really hard

by **Ollie** Tue 07 Sep 2010, 07:27

hmm, k it's had a reciept for a new cable in the last couple of months. Any thing else it could be?

by **Simon** Tue 07 Sep 2010, 08:21

if it has been done and still stiff hopefully its not the clutch itself, other ideas could be thrust stuck on shaft (mikes china xs did this totally shattered the clutch) or nylon guides on the clutch arm slipped cos of a broken lug

by **Ollie** Tue 07 Sep 2010, 08:22

hmm, k. that sounds fun :S

by **Simon** Tue 07 Sep 2010, 08:25

Hope its just the nylon guides as they can be done without box being removed just got to hope you can re align the lever on to the clutch (pull type clutch)

by **Ollie** Tue 07 Sep 2010, 08:28

can the guides be diagnosed without removing stuff? any idea on cost of the new guides?

by **Ollie** Sun 26 Sep 2010, 19:57

few more pics. had a fiddle yesterday, clutch is stiffer than the xsi but not hugely so.

by **_Mike_** Mon 13 Dec 2010, 06:41

Looks good mate!

How is it in comparison to the xsi?

by **Simon** Mon 13 Dec 2010, 07:29

could have cleaned it Laughing

by **mark.evs** Mon 13 Dec 2010, 20:21

Did u get that washed in barry fire station for charity? I took my car there and between the 12 or more ppl there, they only washed half my car too.

by **Ollie** Mon 13 Dec 2010, 20:46

lol mark, gave it a quick spray down, didn't even try and wipe it Smile

Mike yeah it's good, quicker and nicer than the xsi, interior aint been quite as well looked after tho which is a shame Sad
