(NEW PICS NOW)
Hay all,
Some of you will remember my old project thread but with the bad news about the site going down I’ll have to do it again lol.

so in June 2007 I brought a 206 gti (2000),I didn’t do much at 1st it all ready had a powerflow cat back system so I just did a few small bits, bee sting areal,gti tax disc holder and some mist/spray washer jets.
Then I put in an audio system and that was it till I go the bug lol....

Big thanks to matt from pug1off for all the work and time he has spent on my car.

Thanks for reading and keep watching this as I’ll add new pics vids up as and when I have them.

some pics

haha noo noo, they just send it in a kit and you bolt it in the car

#6: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0 PostPosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:40 pm

You still have to weld the mounts of "bolt in" cages

#7: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:49 pm
    ----
lol i know as it needs points to bolt to but i'll be leaving it in the capable hands of pug1off for all the work,

but for now im just getting the bigger injectors then a remap then that will do me for a while, till i get the funds to do the rest.

#8: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0 PostPosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:52 pm

You sure you'll need 400+ cc injectors?
Is this going to be a "2nd car"? As with that engine spec, those cams, a full cage & buckets it's going to a pig to drive daily on the road. Have you thought about getting an LSD?
Jamie

#9: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:08 pm
    ----
i have had all that spec in my car for about Nealy 4months now and all is sweet and its a daily driver to.

i have spoken to matt about a quafe lsd but for now thats just anuther thing on the list lol.

as i have an idea as in PFC a lad had a half stripped 306 s16 that had all the front half standard trim and the back was stripped and had a cage that's what im going for atm but im hoping to progress in the future

at the RR they put my injectors on the test jig and mine are crap so are not doing me any favors as well as not supplying the demand, they said basically get hi end 380s or 400ish then they will map to suite what i have

#10: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0 PostPosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:22 pm
    ----
"Sugref" off here has a GTi180 on throttle bodies with cams etc and he recommended that 330cc maximum to me... Ah well!
Maybe we could all get a group buy on the LSD, I know me & Kyle want one, pm me if interested!
I'd be interested in a similar cage, let me know the price when you get one!

Nice to see this project again. One of my 2 favorites on the old site Wink P.s. did you find the RR graphs of your car? Just interested to see a comparison with the ones from macj and Edward.

#12: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 4:43 am
    ----
no i didnt it was with all my recepts and i was looking 4it to show my tmates but now it has gone. so im getting a remap after fitting my air box and injectors.

#13: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: Edward, Location: In the garage PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 8:54 am
    ----
If you are going to use the Longman carbon airbox I recommend you get some uprated mounts.
Mine is just a few mm from the radiator and even the slight movement with uprated mounts it's rubbing the lacquer off the writing on the lid as it rubs the underbonnet carpet / insulation.

#14: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0 PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 8:59 am

Those are the Baker BM 205 Grp N mounts (also fit 206); Upper/RHS & Lower 70mm Bush
You will also need Vibra Technics gearbox mount.

#15: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: Edward, Location: In the garage PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:01 am
    ----
That upper engine mount doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the Vibra Technics mounts.

#16: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0 PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:02 am
    ----
Agreed, but it's less than half the price...

#17: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:16 am

did you not have your air con rad taken out??

#18: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: Edward, Location: In the garage PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:45 am
    ----
That sits in front of the coolant radiator so wouldn't do anything...

#19: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 11:30 am
    ----
haha my bad, if you got rid of that couldnt you move the rad 4ward a smidge?

#20: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: Edward, Location: In the garage PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 12:31 pm
    ----
Some Longmans cars had the radiator housing moved forward slightly but I think the uprated mounts are better...

I think if you look carefully at this picture you can see the elongated bolt holes.

 

#21: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: macj, Location: Essex PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 1:29 pm

I fitted a Toyota rad and did away with the rad cowl... what you see here is a rusty bit of angle to hold it all in place for the RR session... new mount is being fabricated from playdough

haha i know what you mean i had to prize a trafic cone out of mine the outher day haha

im thinking of taking the air con out now as its not gassed up and i dont use it 2bf so its just a dead weight.
then maybe jiggle the rad over a bit lol

#25: Re: **Spike's Project** Author: macj, Location: Essex PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 2:22 pm

take it all out... get the heater matrix out too..... there is a very neat and small alternative now

mac im not sure what you mean by the heater matrix isent that the blower/fan bit??

Those injectors are way too big.

Why do you need an uprated fuel pump as well?

lol i don't actually know why i even put that. i think it was because i was talking to my mate at the same time about turning his pump up on his 306 tdi lol

and your not the 1st to say they are to big i may have to ring up a few people tomorrow and check up on a few things.

lol i am indeed im doing panel wiering atm tho

i've been looking at the Delphi ones on the emerald web site they are £42 each or £45 for the 440s but i may be able to get some cheaper from jennvy so im going to pop in there later as they have my air box and they are only like 1 min away from my house lol

I'm just going off recommendation, when I looked into it I was just told to get Clio Sport ones, they fit in the TU5 if that helps?

They're expensive on eBay though, so maybe it's best to just get the delphi ones?

wich 1 mattie? I recon we could get a group buy on the bosh from m-tech? But it does say 330cc is good for 210bhp when my project is done its going to be running more than that?

#46: Re: **Spike's Project**with pics** Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;) PostPosted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 11:42 am

The emerald ones mate Razz

Aye will need more than that, so will I, hmmm

Looks like close to 400 will be best so the injectors are not maxed out at anytime

#47: Re: **Spike's Project**with pics** Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 11:48 am

thats what ive been saying lol when you look at it like that 330z arnt that big chris (quicksilver) had 440z and he was running 250bhp on a n/a engine.

I know lol, also depends what pressure your running at aswell

At 5 bar with 330cc injectors give you 300bhp ish

#49: Re: **Spike's Project**with pics** Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 11:57 am

there you go buddy, i think mine fuel systems running at 4bar??
www.emeraldm3d.com/em_pricing.html

Delphi injectors (320cc/min) £42.00
Delphi injectors (440cc/min) £45.00

Nice one mate Wink

Those prices are really good, ECU is only £580 Razz
there's alsorts on there i need for a nice price

Looks like 440cc will be needed for both of us

330cc at 4bar is 216bhp, 440cc at 4bar is 300bhp ish which is what we need and still have plenty left

Yeh it will be a slightly harsher ride...I've had 40 profile tyres on my 17" and also when I had my 106 with 16" and the tyres definately pick up alot more of the road surface.

i dont even know were my standard ecu is paul i've looked for it and been meaning to ask were they hid it/or if my new k3 has everything isn't it??
but with the car running and the software running it says how hot the car is and when the fan kicks in and its all correct, as when it was all done matt left me a thermostat wire as we didn't know where to put it as the standard one needed to be used to work the k3.
so we put another stat in the thermo housing so my gauge in the dash wold work

If your original ECU has been removed and the Emerald used to do everything including road speed that's pretty thorough...seems a bit of unnecessary work though when leaving the original ECU is an option.

*update*

 



got my 307 hdi brakes painted just need some discs and pads now and they will be put on with nice new braided hose.

just been looking around and i have been recommended ferodo dc2500 or (dc3000)not so much for road use just track.

but they only seem to do them for the rear of the 307 hdi?? are they the same pads as the gti180 as i know the calipers/discs size are the same

*new middle section for the exhaust (price hunting)

*new gti180 torsion bar (only 1) as pug sent me the wrong one around 4 years ago and only found out due to a new axle I had on my car.
*looking into a new radiator like Macj/simpsonrc so my throttle body's can get mor cold air and have a mushroom filter

All lovely shiny stuff.

I really do think you should reconsider losing the fan housing and having to fit those locking pins on the bonnet.
Keeping the standard fan housing with fan and trimming additional holes where the air conditioning bits sat is so much easier and every bit as good.

Thanks paul bit silly realy as i just fetched the 90mm trumpets and dropped my carbon back plate off to get cut/matched so will have to go up again to pick it up on tuesday lol.

to be honest paul i do think the bonnet pins will be a kind of 'cool' touch to the car...on the outher hand matt did say wait till its at the workshop and we can decided what you want to do there and then regarding the rad and pinns, i can always sell if i dont use them as got them at a good price.

my check:
106 pump
rip out the air con
uprated engine mounts
fit bonnet pinns (if needed)
rear brake lines fitted
fit filter plate,trumpets,filter and injectors
down to the Rollers

Hay dave thanks it's coming along lol the body work isent up to much these days but hoping for some re-spraying or a new donor in the futcher, no I don't have it recirculating as i am right in saying you need a pump for that?
Also if you saw the build up of gunk in the tank you would want it being pumped back in. So I just empty it every month,
There you go mate

Yep Harry it's going in 2weeks. I just can't wait to get the over fuleing sorted out on the rollers with the new injectors and intake setup should see a healthier graph. Also while the cars in getting the work done I'm taking the wheels to citypowderz to get them refurbed.

Dave the pipe just goes directly to the plug type fitting on the head mate it's so simple. Take your engine cover off and you can see it in the top right corner,then just mount your catch tank somewhere then run your pipe with a jubalie clip either end.

And I'll be updating on proformance of the EBC redstuff only done 15miles so can't say alot apart from they do bite from cold.

Edward: Personal prefferance mate I'm just saying glad I decided to have them put on as it looks a evil now, I also utilised the standard rad so no need to buy an aftermarket/outher makes rad as the standard one fits spot on. I can say the elec pas is alot better than belt pump.

Looks neat enough but I wouldn't want the lower cross member cutting. I like the deep box for the filter.

So the steering is lighter is it?

#133: Re: **Spike's Project**update-pg9** Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Sat Jun 16, 2012 4:05 pm

It hasent been cut Paul a custom bracket bolts to the crossmember then the rad is bolted to that it's also a tad higher than the bumper so is by far high enuf for day to day use I.e speed bumps ect.

And I think it feels a more positive feel when turning, no slack when turning the wheel I don't know why they took so long to Introduce it. It also feels more punchy mid range and picks up alot quicker.

Also will have a custom fabricated sheet under the intake to force air into the filter when I have my badgeless grill I'll be getting rid of the top mesh.

I'd rather it to be fixed to the car and go up underneath the filter I think that would be easyer for my application

Good time at fcs shame about the weather but still had the bonnet up for all to see when it did stop also nice to see some familiar faces again, only problem of the day I blew a fuse in the elec pas supply as it was fitted with a 30a and should be a 40a to allow for the start up voltage. Wish all problems were as easy as that lol

I was thinking of having the PAS pump on mine switched on by my Omex. I.e. it doesn't get switched on until a certain engine speed it reached - maybe 500rpm.

Yer could be done if you wanted mine just turns on and primes on the final instrument possision, just should of had a 40amp fuse to alow for the initial spike in power on start up.

Are you using the vauxhall pump or the pug one?

I don't think it's strong enough mate, that's were I have my oil catch tank and just about ok for that. I've had the 106 bracket customised to fit in the corner along with a rubber mount to reduce the vibrations then bolted to the frame.

#142: Re: **Spike's Project**update-pg9** Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:30 pm

Thanks usher, it was quite easy 2nd, It's open to interpretation mate it depends on how deep you want to get into it,... I ran NO filter for 3years as the rad was in the way so nothing could get in to the intake. BUT sucked hot air in as a downside. It revs well having less belt travel and pulleys to go around but I have a L&B fly wheel any way so revs quite quick any way. Now I've got cold air going into the inlet instead of hot air that can't be bad. I also think the elec conversion has a lot better feel to it than the standard PAS. You can use socks or a big universal sock that goes round the 4 trumpets but for what I wanted I needed the standard pump out.
On the trumpet subject you'll losses some hi end bhp but gain more mid range tourqe witch in my case I'll be able to use better. I'll be taking the 65's to the rollers to see the difference in power curves between the
lengths.

Hope that helps abit lol

It is Harry soooo simple to nice and low, but not to low, that was my main worry but all is good just gotta fit the harness eye hooks into the exhaust tunnel then the harnesses can go in and can be removed in seconds.
Then my list left is:
Wait for the correct carpet to arrive.
Fit grp n mounts.
Fit my 180 TB's and higher the rear.
Remap booked for next month.
Then I'll be happy.......for now supose save for the next stage Twisted Evil

Nar I used the standard rad mate I didn't do the work I got pug1off as they do all my car mods, thers no point in moving the rad down if your not going to do the elec pas conversion as that alows you to use a back plate filter. Or buy an air box like Edward from Jenvey...you'll get a good price if you say I sent you Wink

For the price of doing the mods what I have just done, for a Dailey runner I wouldn't bother. Id just get an air box like edwards, but this is conning off the road next year and doing the rest that I have planned.

i would do it myself if i was to do it, have thought about making my own air box and using a backplate filter like you have now, cald air is my main objective as hot air cant be goot from the rad, i would want the itbs in a box so suppose it all depends on clearance when fitted as i say ill make my own air box, cant justify the cost of the CF one longmans make

Cool I've used a 50mm deep carbonfiber one as wanted it to match my engine cover ect also to cover most of the 80mm trumpets.

You'll need to get a elec pump,donor car for the bracket to be taken from,get a hi presure hose for the connection to the rack and a loom to feed and fuse it all. I also used an aftermarket hi flow motosport fan for the rad
Also if you go the way I have you'll need bonnet pinns as I had all the fan&surround removed for maximum flow but you bonnet has nothing to clip to so that's why I needed pins I don't mind tho as I think they look mint.

And me 2bh I think it will of lost power due to the longer trumpets but gained more mid range torque witch I don't mind as it's not very often I can open it up fully in 3rd round by me any way so more midrange is perfect for me. Can't wait for the fuleing to be sorted out mainely as it will run smoother.

Got the rear support fitted last night, then started to rain so I didn't get chance to sort out the lap belt inner anker point.
Because I want to keep most of the trim on I just need to make the slit bigger were the standard rear belt comes from the rear quarter so it looks oem.Pics will follow

Yes mate I had that done last month haven't got the mounts fitted yet bud as I've had my bike to spend money on lol,
It dyno'd at 204 but they wanted my rev limet upped to 8k and it would of Easily made over 210 but as it's a Dailey driver, I said i didn't want to,*just for the sake of a pritty graph* there word is good enuf as they have a very accurate RR. 2bh it's quick enuf as it stands anyway, really pleased with the mid range torque from the 90mm trumpets it's 1/2 stripped so it weighs less so things are going well ATM how's your project looking?

thats good figures, have you a spec list i know you have tbs and port and polised head

mine looking ok atm just waiting till next week then ill have the 22mm tbs in as i cant afford to refurb it this year and i can see the point in having the tbs and not fitting them for another year, main this last month was mot stuff

its looking a little poor atm with laquer peeling all over the rear bumper and rust on the doors but ill re spray it my self once i have it mechanically sorted (throttle bodies, rear axel refurb and undersealed)

Please do

Been looking at 106 rallyes and gtis today for a new project idea, want to make it like this really kind of oem and subtle but as a bit of a sleeper

Don't think it would be too heavy at all, only concern that I would have that it would be much harder to build up this engine and then transplant it than to just to do a gti engine anyway for similar power

But seeing as it's already done, would be worth it for sure

I will harry 1st ive got to get a run a round and my mrs driving so I can take mine off the road.
To get a 106 engine up to this power you would need to spend easily 6-7k.
I don't think it would be to heavy either harry as the old clios had a 2.0 engine,loads of v6 conversions are poping up now and no matter what people say is a heavy engine I've seen one on a engine crane lol.
Sure a tuned 1.6 would be more revvy/quicker off the Mark than 2.0 but there's no replacement for displacement Wink I've got everything done now anyways so just transplanting it over would be cheaper option i think.

Exactly mate plenty of corsa v6s around they must be much much worse to handle

Well with the 2L your putting far less stress on the engine to get the same power, would rather have that to be honest

I came back to have a look, going to have another project next weekend I need some new seats and getting them in but the horizontal rails have already been welded in doubt I will be able to get the cobras in probably need some with side mounts

it is very hard for TU5JP4 to hit 200 mark.

the closest 1 i have seen it around 197@9000rpm Laughing

and that is with extensive head work and bottom work with newman pH5 cam. would be a pig on normal road, got absolutely no torque until 5K

Spike, do you have any pictures of your bonnet catches? I'm still keeping some of my original slam panel Even if just to support the back edge of the grill) but I'm not convinced by the time I've finished hacking it to pieces that there will be enough strength to hold the bonnet! It still blockes way too much airflow to the filter.

I might consider the aerocatches which are about £50. Or the older traditional bonnet pins are cheaper but don't look safe for anybody that wants to get run over. I'm not 100% on how legal they are.

#174: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: spike_202, Location: West mids PostPosted: Sun Oct 07, 2012 5:24 pm

Hay Paul erm not realy sure what pics you want? Pics of my catches fitted to the bonnet or were the old one used to be sit? I didn't pay that much mine were a bargain at £40 (lockable) as I knew someone who was selling some, I'm just using the plastic upper grill to channel air flow direct into the filter and to block weather conditions day 2 day use. If I take the cable ties off it's 100% air flow. so if your not keeping any of the slam panel you'll need to make up a strut to replace it to support the top or the rad I'm v.happy how pug1off did mine looks neat and professional
If you look on your project you'll see the 2 pics I put up comparing before and after with the rad cowling.

What addaz said above but 1 thing to add to what he said you don't remove any part of the catch it's an all in one unit John + they look mint and BTCC cars use them so you can trust the quality, you can get the non lockable ones for cheaper than the ones that I got but I wanted a little security. With these you have to unlock,press the release button the flick the leaver up if you look on Utube you can see what they do mate.

Unless it's a dedicated track car that isn't really road legal you will always want aerocatchers. Last thing you need is some chav opening your bonnet to try and rob an air filter Laughing

I'm sure I'll feel the difference as I only have the standard gti one in ATM 20mm? so all is good, so I've had my 21mm torsion bars put in ill fit the 24mm arb next week as im ordering a new end plate and still on bilstern rear shox. So should be spot on hopefully

2bh Harry not realy as I had 180s before but hopefully with this new ARB the back end will feel much better. I mean when I did all the bars at the same time years a go I felt the difference yes but as ive done the bars then doing the ARB later haven't realy noticed yet.
But on a track car that's not doing any road use go 23mm as Edward says it's to harsh for road but tracks are smooth so will be spot on.

#198: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: Harry, Location: Stafford PostPosted: Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:28 am

Ah yeah good point forgot the old ones were the same

I know mate but this one is going to be my daily driver, 19mm is just too thin for track use. I've looked at the load rates further and somewhere between 20 - 21mm is probably better, after all going for 155lb springs at the front. I guess it's better to try and match them as much possible.

18mm 90lb/inch
19mm 110lb/inch
20mm 135lb/inch
21mm 165lb/inch
22mm 195lb/inch
23mm 235lb/inch
24mm 280lb/inch
25mm 330lb/inch

lol when i saw them up for sale i had to reserve them lol there worh the money imo springs and dampers would cost more. there about the same as the frint set up might look into the arb later as mine aint attached atm i need to re thread it.

Fitted the bar today bit of a coparesent of 21mm(standard)-gti180 (22mm) ithink-24mm
 

I do all my car work at my parents as all my stuff is in my garage there so give it a bit of a 'test' run on the way back to my house and I could defenately feel the difference as I only had the standard 21mm fitted so 1st impressions is a good one.

The seller was refurbing them to put in his pug, but his engine blew so scrapped the car and left these in the shed, any ways they have been rubbed down and 1 has been painted so I just sampling what they will look like when all of them are painted.
Comments/advice please everyone.

nice one Uz, this is going to sound stupid but can they powder-coat like car colours? not just a standard black,red,white ect, as the 1 you see here is in vauxhall insignia black and i love how it looks but i want all 4 done as they will match then

Bolts should be fine. As long as you've got at least 5 or 6 full turns into the hub. Disc will be about 8mm at most thick over the hub, leaving at least 7 threads on your bolts.

nice one kris, ive been told these are from the older generation pugs i.e the ph1 gtis and 306s ect, but they fit and have 20mm poking thru the back and like you said including the disc i still should have more than enough threads.

Yes they are the older bolts, but fit every pug flat seated alloy

Good shout using them for track rather than nimrods. I'm just having a couple of sets of crappy wheels, once the brake dusts gets all over them you stop caring

They can do in loads of colours, but no where near the amount of variations like paint mixing.

With black you work up shade levels from white to black and then gloss level (normally matt, low, medium, high etc)

Really depends who you go to. You can't mix it so it depends on what powders they buy in. You could get them to buy some in especially but in reality they can only do largish orders. The amount needed for some wheels is so small it just isn't worth it for the rest to be sitting around as spare stock for years.

If you want that exact colour you could try and get a very dark anthracite or grey. It doesn't look quite black to me.

Best to go in with a picture and ask then they can compare it to a colour chart and give their advice.

It's the vahaxhall insignia like black/charcoal as the lads brother works for vahaxhall and tryed that colour and I really like it so want to get them all fine like that. Know of any good alloy sprayers then?
How easy its to keep on top of powder coated wheels compared to sprayed wheels?

#226: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: Harry, Location: Stafford PostPosted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 2:47 pm

Nah not really, but any bodyshop will be able to mix it up and spray it not hard at all if you want the same colour. Could even do it yourself if you had the environment for it.

As appose to cleaning? No difference if it is sprayed well really but powdercoat is tougher and lasts longer, like a plastic coating

Right ok, as I don't want Grey or black maybe anthracite as an inbeteen? but I've been told they have demo wheels to choose colours from? I've got to get a 1 Centre cap before I do anything else lol

Where are you talking about?

City powder coasters in brum have a set of about 50% of the colours they do to look at but they only have two shades of anthracite.

I had these done for a guy on here, I can't remember his name but this was the darkest anthracite they did. Not sure if the next step up is black or not. Personally I wouldn't go there though they do provide a good price but unless I'm mistaken they don't let you choose the gloss level and don't have a huge amount of colours.

I don't think it's dark enough though

Hmm, your not making this any Easier now Harry haha, were them alloys powder coated or sprayed? I'm in 2 minds atm as I want a durable finish so it doesn't start flaking/peeling off ect but I really want them done in the sample colour witch is 'vahaxhall insignia' dark greyish I'll look into the exact paint code and give a few local firms a call, as by the time I've done all the traveling to city coaters I would of used £30 in petrol haha

#230: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: Harry, Location: Stafford PostPosted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 6:15 am

That was powdercoated at city powdercoaters yeah

To be honest it takes trial and error to know which ones to go to and which to stay away. Well sprayed wheels will be fine, but will cost quite a bit more than powdercoating. Unfortunately the best way is to just go in and ask with a picture because over the phone it's just going to get a tad confusing.

If you want that sort accuracy painting is probably the way to go.

I've had a re think I love the TD pro race 1.2 and they are gloss black so think ill just get the same sort of finish as them. @ around £100 to refit and balance the tyres can't argue with that.
Ill just wait till I'm working near or going past bham.

The prices are very good, especially as they sandblast and dip them as well.

I had a swing arm for a motorbike done in gloss black by them, it is good but very shiny.

Oh and just leave it a couple of weeks. Even if they say it will be done in a few days it will just end up being another day and another...

Yer I've heard a bout there time keeping lol, I think I'd like to go a tad darker than your old grey alloys, as I don't want really shinny black rims as I don't like the look, had a quote from a local firm in Telford and wanted £220+vat so I think I'll just go for a bargain price Powdercoat. Ill have a look what colours they do closer to what I want.

I would say they were a tad darker than in the picture but I really can't remember to be honest

That sounds about right. Painting simply just needs far more man hours putting into it to get the same quality finish. Is there anywhere else you could go? Personally I go up stoke these days the guy is nice lets me sit in his office with a flip chat looking at all the colours haha

I haven't used it since before Xmas as MOT has ran out. rotting away it certainly isn't but needs a wash think I need either a new wheel bearing or top mount on the passenger side.
rev counter is loomed to the euc is all I can tell you mate, pug1off did all the wiring so I wouldn't know. I literally haven't had to touch anything since I've had my work done (nearly 8 years ago) just the mods for more power ect.

Surely if you ate going to fit a cage you'd be best going for a full weld in cage? That way you benefit from a significantly stiffer bodyshell rather than just a weight burden?

yes and no to weild in a cage is megga money and a lot of work. ive had a few quotes and I was shocked. also if for some reason I need to i can swap it to another shell or sell it ect
plates still need to be welded to the car so you will get some stiffness from the install just not as much as a full weld in.

and i must admit im a bit of a tart Very Happy so i want it to look the part aswell as a bit of added safety.

I'd be cautious before buying another axle. It might be worth stripping yours apart and checking the condition of the bearings. You can always rub down the existing axle or shot blast things to clean them up and repaint it.

Don't forget to fit a 180 axle you need the exhaust modifying.

Been a while since I've been on here! not much as moved on the 206 front but I decided to sell me 308 GT as our 2nd son was born last month and it was just too small. I now have a 67plate 3008 and all I can say is WOW! what a motor.
I did want it ready for the winter so I could put some bad ass tyres on it and use it in the 'bad snow' and go out for a play in the bad weather we are expecting again, But the new edition and xmas fast approaching has out a stop to this lol

list of things for 2019 are
cage fitted
gear box recon with my CWP and diff fitted
MOT

pics of CC bumpers will follow. I have since fitted the side strips but haven't got a photo of them.

I loved my 308 GT and I didn't want to sell it BUT it was impractical with 2 yong kids with all the 'equipment' you need there just wasn't enough room. The 3008 is a totally different league, feels more exsecative and grown up. It has so many gadgets and tech to play with and feels safer.

This is why I keep my 206 as its soooo far away from the luxuary and comfort and alot of fun to drive.

**UPDATE**

So, I MOT'd the pug to find that I had some issues with my exhaust system, my joining brackets were all rusty and had snapped off and my back box was hanging down due to a corroded hanger.

I found a local SS exhaust specialist who sorted all that out no worries...…. until the test drive....

I can only 'assume' that because we had taken all the excess movement out the exhaust system and me not fitting my uprated engine mounts (silly me) this put stress on the manifold and as a result snapped the branches off.

any ways got a new one so it’s on the list of t9hings to do now. here's some updated pics of the new wheels and CC bumpers fitted. Not too bad for sitting around for 3 years.....enjoy

Car looking great! (bar the zorst:)
Read through your build thread over the past months, was a good read indeed.

Have you ever driven the car with your electric PAS pump with it being switched off? I once did (unintentionally), and the fluid in the reservoir started to surge and pour out making a mess Smile

Yes i have lol and i felt like i had spent an hour at the gym haha. It was when the pump was 1st fitted. It kept popping fuses later to find out it needed quite a big fuse.

Still in the process of doing all the above. I've dedicated a bit of time to it now, so things are moving on.
While all the subframe is off, I'm going to swap everthing and clean and paint etc so will take me longer than I 1st planned for.

So bit of progress..... removed the subframe along with ARB, wishbones etc.
So I've extended my job list and doing a bit more 'while I'm there' Laughing

Fit new manifold and get flexi pipe made.
Fit my uprated engine mounts.
Fit my 22mm ARB with new bushes.
Fit new gear linkages.
Replace wishbones.
Replace inner track rods (if needed).
Replace split gaitor on rack.
Replace track rod ends.
Replace drop links.
Clean and paint subframe.
Fit new fork bush.
Take out and inspect front bilstine struts (may replace).
Clean and paint/seal wheel wells and under of car (where I can get to).
Clean up front discs and pads and repaint calipers.
Replace most if not all with new nuts and bolts.

So I've gone from a simple (ish) manifold swap to pretty much a front end rebuild. But at least I know it's good for a few years and everything is new and greased up. Most of the list are linked together so a few of the jobs will be done at the same time so not as bad as it looks.
