Looks a minter mate

Enjoy it mate

Looks a minter mate

its not a minter by any stretch of the imagination. a bit rough around the edges if i'm honest but its been bought with the sole intention of track abuse so i'm hardly fussed!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks a minter mate

It does? Looks like a shed to me lol ...

Perfect base for track car though. What are the Pug1Off cams Ed?

Lol compared to some others it is

 

[edewer]

its not THAT sheddy dave. paints in good nick and no damage apart from a dent on the bonnet, but its still a shed.

pug1off cams are apparently catcam 708s but with an ever so slightly longer duration, and it pulls pretty well with them.

its booked into xsport for a few bits and pieces on friday, including a service and sorting some of the bodges out. Seats are going in this evening, and all the interior is coming outincluding headlining, sound deadening and whatever else i can tear out. dash stays though.

just need to find some engine mounts as mine are totally cream crackered!

 

[Ian_182]

I could cope with one of those for a tracktoy...

 

[ch!ppen]

Excellent choice

Awesome little car's.

 

[Riad]

Nice!

I recognise it think one of the guys on POT used to own it

 

[Fletcher]

Plans for it sound good Ed!

 

[MarcB]

Looking decent, Had a wee soft spot for these. Only change i would make are the wheels to 306-GTi6 wheels

 

[edewer]

Riad - owner says he knows bomber, burp and a few others and used to be part of the built4track crowd, had a black Clio on White 2118s

Wheels wise I'm current stalking some TH Monos as I'm not a fan of the wheels either

Seems to run pretty well, loving the lumpy idle from the cams. Seems one of the front shocks has gone though so needs addressing as well as tidying up a few bits

Haven't really given it proper death yet as I have various extra bits that came with the car rolling around the back seats, and the engine mounts are on their last legs, but it's good fun either way

Seems to Huddersfield a little at low revs in second but fine in all other gears, which is a little odd to, but was cheap considering the spec so I expect a few issues

Lol what?!?

Cracking track day car you'll have there mate

 

[edewer]

Damn iPhone! Judder is what I meant to say!

[edewer]

Definitely needing a pugsport on it I think! Should have some updates on Wednesday!

 

[Lukas1]

Awesome, love my GTI, have my induction kit coming in the post tomorrow so looking forward to fitting that along with my supersprint decat pipe and magnex backbox Great fun aren't they!

 

[edewer]

so on wednesday i fitted the new seats and harnesses. need to tidy a few bits up but love the seating position for now

so from:

to:

also bought a new top engine mount, and a used powerflex lower mount, just hunting the gearbox mount now, then all off to be fitted at xsport. also need to remove the carpet and headliner, and paint the interior!

 

[edewer]

a few more updates.

- today i had the dash out, managed to remove the heater matrix and fan, as lets face it theyre unneccessary weight. need to find bungs to fill in all the holes that there are in the bulkhead now though!!!!!
- all sound deadening removed
- all carpet removed
- momo 300mm wheel fitted

so still to fit i have:
- bilstein grp n dampers
- uprated engine mounts
- GE quickshift
- pugsport 2"

and i need to find some Faulkner springs and a manifold too!!!!!

on the plus side i've just been offered a new job, so have sold my daily, as i get a company vehicle, and the 106 can hopefully stay in the compound at work and come out from time to time. am gonna be on the lookout for a cage, some carbon bits and possibly some ITBs come summer!

 

[Nickson]

Yess!

Was waiting for you to start a thread about this

Looks good mate, and the spec sounds awesome!

Best quickshift for these is the B&M, I had one and it was fecking awesome!!

Quicker than the old PH1? :evil:

 

[sideways danny]

if pug1off did the belt on it, get yourself a new belt kit. They dont change tensioners. My mate had a big kick off with them a couple of years back. Their argeument was "peugeot dont change them, so nor do we"

 

[Lukas1]

Yeah I have heard dodgy things about Pug1off, it would be better to go to PugPerformance in Alton.

Loved that little thing!

 

[edewer]

Ah ok. Will look into that. Cheers guys. Was also wondering whether there were any good pug specialists round these parts.

Nick, in a word yes it does, a lot rawer and chuckable!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Tweeq Automotive are in Bordon, he will do most things, runs a turbo'd AX himself.

Re: the B&M, again a very good bit of kit (had one myself), but the GE quickshift does the same, for £15.

 

[edewer]

is the GE a pain to fit Dave? off to get myself a jack today so was gonna attempt the mounts and quickshift this weekend

 

[mr_n]

I have a GE one, no pain at all. Bit fiddly but its about 10mins work when you get into it.

Not too bad, just be sure to cable tie the oil temp sensor wiring out the way properly, otherwise you'll break the cables when you go for reverse ..

Doh.

Is that personal experience speaking there Dave? :rasp:

Quite possibly lol, although a giant wad of insultating tape soon fixed the connector...

 

[G_C'lio_172]

i used to love my old XSI, i had a GE quickshift for that. think i must of been fobbed off with a dodgy one because no matter how much i tired i couldnt get it to sit snug on the ball of the linkage, so i decided against it when it came off and left me with no gears in the middle of a main road on a hill.. luckily i free rolled it onto the curb and i could just get my scrawny arse under the car to pop it off n link it back upto the original. but i gotta say while it was on and actually working ,made a good difference!

 

[edewer]

Some more updates coming today!
