Well first job for today was to drive 40 miles over to Wigan to pick up some wheels from stey cleary, nice deal as he took the old beam off the Rallye in part ex, cheers Ste   Next job that I've been avoiding for ages was to make a start on stripping the engine........ The head came off fairly easily tbh, there were 2 cap head bolts on the rear cam carrier that had been rounded off, had me worried for a minute then I hammered the next size up hex head in & they both came out a treat   Next I took the sump off, the oil pump & splash tray. By this point I had a box full of bits..  Oh & a couple of manifolds that will be of no further use  Crank & pistons out  Don't forget the shims on No2 main brg, there are 4 shims in total, I nearly missed the 2 in the block but I had spotted th 2 in the cap.  The oil spray bars are held in place with 2 bolts & come out easily.  The block is now fully stripped & ready to go & have the bores opened up for my low compression Wossner pistons.  Tomorrow I'm going to make a start on the head as it did have a slight tap after the last £2000 rebuild when it span a big end. Fingers crossed it won't need much work. Hmm the thought of lapping 16 valves is making my hands sore! ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |

Nice work Wayne, you stripped that engine quick, also started my High Boost conversion today, I have a High boost engine already built though ready to drop in, I will probably do a project thread myself although all I ended up doing today was dropping the gearbox oil and taking the driveshafts out (Grand Prix started followed by bud and cider  )Just need a Lsd and maybe Vts rack for mine and then I have everything, Looking forward to the updates ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6™ |

Hmm, a VTS rack like I prepared earlier  It took me 4 hours tops to fully strip the engine, I bet (Carl) mechanical repairs can do it much faster! ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |

Nice project mate. I'll keep checking in for updates. I assume the VTS rack provides sharper steering? ________________________________________ '13 208 Gti Bianca White, '99 Bianca 306 Rallye, '92 309 Goodwood GTi 5dr, '92 Miami Blue 309 GTi 3dr. |

Yes it's less turns lock to lock than a 6 rack, just use the 6 ram to limit the travel________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |

It will have been in the garage for 2 years in December......I don't think it will be finished this year purely due to finances, there's probably another £2k to spend on it yet. Engine rebuild £700 LSD £650 Injectors £150 Windscreen £150 Perspex windows £400 Fibreglass bonnet & boot £300 Kevlar front wings £300 New front rotors £250 Brake lines £200 Fuel lines £150 Bucket seat £450 Powder coating £150 Remap £600 Respray £700 Bung for mot tester 1 bacon butty Rear shocks off Phillipm £450 Fook that's a lot more than £2k, looks like it's going to be well into next year  ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |
