[Joske_] My black beauty

Some pics of my 1991 309 GTi16.




The plan is to completly rebuild it in time.
Normally the big works would start this winter. But with the upcomming Euro-Event, I think I'm going to change the plans.

And some photo's during the annually Pug Drivers Trackday at Circuit Zolder.






Pics of the half-leather interior.

Beautiful pictures and beautiful 309 GTI16!! Really hope we'll see it during the European Meeting next year because it seems in fantastic original condition.
Thanks again for sharing your pics with us.

Today i picked up a set PTS-wheels for the GTi16.

First of all, your GTi16 looks fantastic! Black ( or white ) is the best looking color on the 309, I think.

I wish I`d never sold my black GTi16. The more 309 GTis/GTi16s I see on the web, the more I dislike the miami blue. Seems nearly every 309 is painted blue.

I always wanted to have a white one with full leather interieur or a black one.

Hmmm, .....

Yes, lots of 16s were painted blue because it was a sort of typical colour for the GTI16... So when you see a 309 GTI and if it's blue, you know it's a GTI16. Other colours are less eye-catching.
Anyway, those alloys look fantastic. Be careful with the rear arches because it may touch. And take pics as soon as they are on the car!

But there were 309 GTis in Britain with miami, and they never had the GTi16. Or are these cars repainted ones?

The rims are really nice. Look great on the black beauty, I bet. If it wouldnt be that expensive I would get my 309 GTi16 colored black ( or white ). But it seems I have to live with the miami blue.

Just to make sure the wheels will fit the 309 proberly I trialfitted them yesterday.




Since I was busy with the wheels, I also trailfitted them on my 206. Just to make sure the wheels clear the 206RC-brakecalibers.



With a little smaller tire the look good on the 206 too. Not perfect because I think the 206 is to modern a car for those old-schoolwheels.



The only thing that is very clear now is that my rearaxle needs refurbishing urgently. I have no problems with PTS-wheels touching the wheelarches.

[alargeau]

Even though they are beautiful, I really think they look way nicer on the 309 than on the 206.
Concerning your rear axle, yes it does need refurbishing... that's what we call in France the Gordini effect!

[Joske_]

In the meantime, the rearaxle is removed from the car and taken apart.
Will waiting for some parts for the beam I started removing the entire brake system.


Plans for the brakes:
- 206RC brakecalibers
- 406/partner Master brake cilinder
- Goodridge high performance brakelines
- EBC grooved discs and greenstuff brakepads

Dat ziet er allemaal zeer serieus uit. Ook gelijk maar een remmen upgrade.
Motorisch nog wat aangepast?

Ga vooral zo door.

[Joske_]

Motor nog niet, is als alles goed gaat iets voor de winter 2010-2011.

[Johan 309GTI16]

De motor gewoon standaard houden of er ook nog meer vermogen uithalen?

[Joske_]

Reviseren, ander nokkenassen (zijn al ergens onderweg) vliegwiel wat af laten draaien zo wat van die kleine dingen.
Ik ga mij nie vastpinnen op een cijfertje. Alles wat er meer uitkomt is mooi meegenomen. Hier in België mag dat eigenlijk allemaal nie dus gaan we niet te zot doen.

[Thomas 309]

I didn´t understand very much ... my Dutch is not the best...

[XTSI]

Break upgrade... nice
Blahblah
New engine?
blahblah not yet, later

The usual cartalk, you didn't miss that much..
Try to read out loud, Dutch is not so different from German.

Let's try to keep it in English, it is international here!
(I know I started it in the other topic, but that was just 1 sentence for fun RRrright?

Grtz, Mark
