On cyclones I'd raise it up a bit. 15's don't work at that ride height imo. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

Just seen this thread, that's a brilliant turnaround, nice work Carl.  Judging by the comments above about ride height, i'd offer a free adjustment to whomever buys it if they don't like the ride height. Saves unnecessary work.  ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Excellent job Carl. Needs to be raised 20mm at the rear IMO. What are the arch heights? 590-600mm all round is the best height from experience. This leaves the rear about 30mm higher at the sills which gives the car the necessary turn-in, something that would be especially useful with the extra nose weight of the V6 I'd be interested to drive it to see how it handles. Front looks to plain without the Rallye stripes and Lion; try just the Lion first. I'd be interested myself if I didn't have so many projects on the go. I think |

Where is the battery situated?If it's not in the boot already then moving it could go a long way to addressing the front to rear balance. I'm sure that the V6 & Box weighs approx 50kg more than the GTI6 engine & box, so by moving a 15kg battery to the rear, the front is now only 20kg heavier in relation to the rear than it was. |

I disagree. (not just cos the math is a bit dodgy..) I'll know tomorrow about the difference, but it is more likely to be about 20-30 kilos. My battery is very likely to stay where it is, but I'll move it backwards if its more than that. Remember the V6 is all alloy. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Not dodgy math: Front+50-15=35 Rear+15=15 35-15=20 Dont forget the extra crank weight, rods, pistons, valvetrain etc, plus the V6 gearbox weighs a ton. |

The gearbox weighs 10kg more and yes I see what you mean now with the math The engine is too heavy for my scales (150 kg) but I don't want to remove the exhaust manifolds, alternator and PAS pump. The GTi6 engine without manifolds (but with alt + PAS + flywheel) is 145kg. Lifting it between us it is probably about 30 - 35kg more than the 6 engine so I reckon overall the difference will be around 25-30kg Not the end of the world when you consider that a GTi6 is easily that weight more than my car as standard. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Just read this from start to finish and thats some change you've made Carl! No expense spared and it shows - top work!The only thing I'd say is replace the bonnet for a standard bonnet with the Lion badge - would make it look a lot more subtle. Well done on saving a Cherry Rallye though. Shame you couldn't have saved the one near me thats sitting in the scrappers waiting to be crushed. It's only done 63k and its bloody lovely  Also if you are still after a headunit drop me a PM as I have a HU and matching changer that I bought for my 306 but never got around to fitting - has the code and everything else you'd need Keep the updates coming, subscribed to the thread now  ________________________________________ '98 Nile Blue 306 GTi 6 |

Nice work Carl! Just read the whole thread as well, can't wait to see the finished article!How expensive was that sump, sh*t!!!!! Good to get the oil leak sorted though. Talking of welding (on the old sump) - have you got your welder back yet? ________________________________________ Chris - Phase 3 Moonstone GTi 6 |
