Bloody hell thats shiney.
Top work
ps you can wash the volvo anytime you want
-
so whats gonna happen to the car, you floggin it on or keeping it?
nice work btw, you'd get on well with my mate tel. hes currently swopping the knackered v6 in my gsi for another block. within 4 hours he had the whole front end off and hanging on a crane ready for stripping!
My mate is using it as a run around for abit. then prolly flog it on at a profit.
Would have had it stripped and rebuilt in a weekend but we had to wait for parts like the clutch and belts etc.
Nice engine to work on the vag 20v turbo. Nice and straight forward
-
whats the maximum power these rollers will run?
Youve fitted one of those electric superchargers to the fabia havent you?!
-
Back on the road tonight!
runs perfect!
All in all not a bad car for the money and should run well into the next 100k miles.
thanks for watching, stay tuned for the next skudmissile random act of spannerage.
Its looking like a mk4 golf sdi :( is the next candidate for special treatment
-
Engines back in and all wired up
Just need to put the rad back on tomorrow and run her up
Hopefully she will run
-
Nice mate, not heard of any PD130's hitting below 14's before, what times did the jabba fabia run with more power/torque?
It had more JABBA power
mine had proper power and 382lbft. It also had a peloquin diff which helped. That said I could never replicate that result. I got a couple of 14, deads that day but only one 13.9. Must have been the wind that helped me
-
180bhp re-maps dont exist!
end of story
-
13.9 in a 230bhp fabia @ york is my quickest.... 2nd gear launch
-
but you've allready had a 1.2 fabia, I seem to recall seeing you in it at the last Awesome RR Day :)
That was a special 1.2 fabia though :P
It had a mahossive turbo and ran on diesel!
-
If you can do this kinda stuff, how about getting a petrol fabia and stuffing a fettled 1.8T in it??
That would be interesting eh?
Bas
This all easy peasy stuff though. disconnecting stuff and taking bolts out is easy.
When doing actual engine conversions it starts to get a little harder with fabricating parts etc. The actual fabrication wouldnt be a problem.... I work in engineering so could design and make the stuff fairly easy..
Its just cost that comes in to it.... the question that needs to be answered is why bother when you go out and buy an ibiza cupra and that already has a 20vt in it.
I could see the advantages of using the fabia..... they dont look fast and not many people expect to be wasted by a 1.2 6v fabia
-
You big girl! :gay:
I have seen it all now - a radiator in the garage, whats wrong with another jumper?
Kids eh!
This isnt my garage! Mine is much better, we have 2 rads and a tiled floor
:rofl: and a toilet too!Engines nearly ready for going in, just waiting for a new clutch and timing belt kit on monday.
-
just had a quick look on ebay and there are 2(both AGU) with opening bids of £50+£20 delivery and very little interest and 2 days to run. does £100 delivered(as long as its not crazy) sound alright? thats 1/4 of your engine money back
Sounds Ok that mate,
Havent managed to get the head off completely, I want to get the engine up and running first before parting with any spares.... but ill keep you in mind for the head at that
-
i'll buy the head off you if its good
Ill have a gander at the head later on today, Ill pm you with the conclusions?
Any idea what its worth :confused:
-
You took the Skoda badge off the Volvo :P
Errrm. it fell off :confused:
-
Well here we go again.
Take one audi A3 1998 1.8 20v turbo sport, bought for 800 with a knocking engine.
Then add one second hand engine for 450, and you have one hell of a cheap car.
Started at 2:30 today and by 4:00 had the whole engine out and then proceeded to swap the ancillarys over.
Heres the problem, the pick up pipe on the oil pump had blocked (common problem i think) this starved the engine of oil and the crank is now very scored indeed. The head looks fine but ill give it a strip and a check later on, so if anyone wants a large port head? i have one here
The scoring on the crank
the car ready to be attacked
the front fell off lol
This really shocked me, the car had a nice knocking noise when changing gear........ turns out the gearbox mount had come loose and was on the last few threads :eek:
nearly there
shes out!
new and old
The volvo sneaking in on the photoshoot
this is how we left it and arrived at the pub for a few well earned beers
More to come tomorrow
-
How about a v6 Clio?
They're under £10k now and should be a giggle.
I dunno about the clio, Its never really intrested me.
I dont know what it is about it tho.
Maybe cos deep down inside i still know its a clio
Off to look at a few cars this morning
-
what you getting instead?
-
I dropped the subframe also.
-
Looks like i might not be able to make this one now.
Bloody work
-
Woop woop another volvo convert
They are good cars if a little boring to drive..... mine is anyway :(
-
why not get your golf on the road and do something mad with that?
keep with the times
the golf has moved on now :eek: Although I did sell it to Ruku the other night for a £10 when i was wasted I am still drawn to the tuscan but as of yet I cant get quotes for them :(
still only a young un.
I have found the perfect monster too
-
I was passed by a rather sexy AC Cobra replica on the motorway (there are many terrible ones too) Reg no V8 NOS. I can't think of much that would turn heads more than a nice AC
The dax cobra kits are about 15-18k and when done sell for around 26k :eek:
Its just finding the engines thats the problem in this country. Looked at them and I am indeed very interested
Too much to choose from :(
-
What’s your budget range??
15k but maybe up to 20k for the right car
-
So the tuscan is good for tall people...redbaron?
what about the elise, would a lanky 6ft4 like myself fit on one
Everything i keep looking at takes me straight back to lotus 7 type kit cars, especially the bike powered ones
mine had proper power and 382lbft. 
:)
