lovin the progress
Thanks ben I didn't see your comment before I've finished for now really nothing else I wanna do to it. got my harnesses in but for day 2 day driving they are silly but only takes 2mins to put them in.
Gutted to see your splitting yours after that paint job you gave it what was the reason for the split?
#167: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 9:35 am ---- 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
#168: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 4:05 pm ---- The side mount look sweet Harry for a full on track car that's what I'd have you using the same seats?
#169: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:47 am ---- Aye depends on the seats - I would but they aren't in good condition are they so going to look in some decent comfy full buckets but I don't know if they exist
#170: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Sep 24, 2012 2:49 pm ---- Lol can't go far wrong with cobra clubman Harry I had 1 as a gaming chair cheap and ideal for a track car at that price.
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 I've got everything done now anyways so just transplanting it over would be cheaper option i think.
it is very hard for TU5JP4 to hit 200 mark.
the closest 1 i have seen it around 197@9000rpm
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

#173: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Oct 07, 2012 2:49 pm ---- 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 midsPosted: 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.

#176: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2012 1:12 pm ---- may i ask what's the difference between aerocatch and normal bonnet pin?
i got a faulty carbon bonnet coming soon and i definitely need one of those.
#177: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Oct 08, 2012 1:39 pm ---- Aero catchs are flat and you rarely forget to leave them off
Standard pins sit proud and you can leave them not attached as my brother found out twice
#178: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2012 1:47 pm ---- so you mean it is better to have the aerocatch then?
#179: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Oct 08, 2012 1:48 pm ---- 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.
#180: Re: *Spike's Project*&*PUG1OFF* Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Oct 08, 2012 1:56 pm ---- I would say so John but I'm bias
