Hi,
Seen plenty of guides on here for removal of the inlet plenum, all of which however appear to be for a PH2.
I've hit a bit of an obstacle in the form of the throttle on the PH1, how is that removed so as the plenum can be taken off?
Pics would be good if anyone can.
Thanks,
Alex
Try driving across mid Wales. I regularly used to overtake 5-6 cars in one go on my journeys out to Aberystwyth, beats sitting at 45mph for ages behind slow moving traffic that won't overtake each other.
Left Walsall: 9.30am
Got to Donnington 10.30am, went straight in, straight onto the stand, no queues, nothing!
Don't feel as though I missed anything either, was at the show til it closed and on track twice.
A lad I know has a turbo converted 106, also done mostly with ATspeed. That's running about 250bhp, I went in it when it was running low boost at around 220bhp, was stunned, seeing 140 on the dials whilst you're strapped into a tin shell is quite disconcerting!
There is, seriously. Or are you one of those fleece wearing types whose life completely revolves around cars, talks only about cars and sticks out like a sore thumb to the rest of society?
Go to uni, get good qualifications, have a good time in the process, go on to better things, or run a Clio...
There's more to life than cars mate. You've got all your life to own cars after Uni but you haven't got all your life to get Uni qualifications realistically.
I agree about the master cylinder, my 266mm kit with good pads discs and fresh fluid still felt spongey through the pedal, though it still came down from big speeds very quickly. The MC would just make them feel sharper.
Tom you're right they do feel a bit rough but when you're in the mood for...
Lambda sensor causes cutting out on these. Mine was on it's way out and used to do it, then I got a 2nd hand 4-2-1 manifold that had a different lambda sensor in, threw it on and it was faultess!
They're all coming out of the woodwork here,some fine examples :)
Gally, moonstone is one of, if not the most desirable colour for the 106 gti. Looks so fresh. That's why they normally command a bit more than your average diablo/silver.
I remember Sir_Dave saying that the whiteline ARB made the 172/182 feel a bit closer to the VTS/GTI in terms of handling characteristics.
Like Danny says though if that's not doing it for you I doubt you will get much closer. The VTS is always gonna be a bit more chuckable and playful on the limit.
Btw I used the 'Scuff master' leather repair kit on mine and the leather bolsters looked mint after. Cost about £15.
Reccomend the 206 gti 266mm brake upgrade as you can fit those under the standard 14's which look sweet!
