pug 106 fast road project

[Matt e]

Me and a friend bought this just to mess around with, with the idea of turning it in to a fast road/track car

its a 1995 106 1.0 with 69,000 on the clock, the first thing we want to change are the hubs from 3 to 4 studs, and fit some bigger brakes, as the ones on the car a shot the pedal goes all the way to the floor, and last of all the engine (1.6 16v vts/gti)

it only cost us £100, which i dont think is that bad

heres the pics

 

[mx1_champ]

you droppin the 1.6 16v lump in there ?

 

[Matt e]

started stripping it, still got a bit to do

done abit more stripping and starting to get ready to take the engine out

then bought a twin fan set up for it

got some bigger brakes for it

there of a 2.0 307 and they are 283mm

 

[Matt e]

some more updates

ive started to sort the dash out and starting to repaint some 4 stud struts i bought

started to tidy up the struts really and buying new bits for them, just need new bearings and there done

finally some progress got the engine out today

went to pick up a set 15" steel wheels today, they just about bfit over the brakes

bought a vts anti roll bar 22mm and got it powdercoated

also ive bought a bigger master cylinder 23mm 4 port and a vts interior loom to run a rev counter and digital dials

 

[Matt e]

you droppin the 1.6 16v lump in there ?

Yeah either from a vts or a gti

 

[bendee]

gonna be a riot mate ive just sold my s1 rallye that was stripped with 140 brake 16v and it was immense.

 

[Ian_182]

What a great project,nice find with those brakes too...

 

[JoeyD]

Awesome project!

Your brakes look much more manly than my 266's lol

 

[Chrisjk]

This has potential , any plans for a better colour?

 

[VeinAST]

Will be a right sleeper.

 

[ant_r27]

Looks like its going to be a cool project.

mm..... in the second picture..... have u accidentally driven it into the garage door?

no its resting on there while i find reverse lol it had a 4 speed gearbox

 

[Jewson172]

Ha ha wicked idea.

 

[Djw Dave]

Awesome. But keep it the gash colour it is. Would add to the fun imo.

 

[Djw John]

Gotta agree with Dave, keep it base model colour, for now anyway. Good project, liking it.

 

[Budgie]

Keep it the standard colour!

Epic work so far, boys. Will be a weapon.. Buy an already cammed engine and you've got a proper weapon!

 

[Sir_Dave]

I like this!!

 

[Matt e]

finally bought the paint for the car, its matt battleship grey

and also bought a gearbox and cleaned and sprayed it up aswell

 

[Matt e]

update time

bought a pair of VT wishbones that that im in the middle of changing the bushes, balljoints and mounts. upgrading the bushes to polyrace ones

also bought the clamps to hold the arb on, again going to get polyrace arb bushes for them

bought a pair of driveshafts, so far ive painted bonnet, slam panel, wings and bumper in battleship grey, ill get some pictures of them tomorrow. going to start painting the engine bay next week or the week after when i have a week off

 

[mwn11]

Updateee

 

[Matt e]

not really any major updates


changed my mind on the colour of the car didn't really like the battleship grey once i sprayed the bonnet, so im going to spray it matt black


bought a rear beam, all ive done is cleaned it up and painted. i had to buy new calipers fot it aswell as the bleed screws had snapped and could get them out, all i need to do now it buy the bushes for it and then i can go on

also bought some lowering springs for it there 30mm apex and also bought studs for it instead of using bolts and fitted them

ive started to paint the engine bay aswell, im just waiting for the paint to come then i can finish that bit off and make it into a rolling chassis once ive found some tyres for the wheels, the bay is going gloss white and so is the interior and ive undersealed the arches too

all ive done inside is started to take off the soundproofing / tar stuff which surprising weighs quite a bit

 

[Matt e]

bought the bushes for the rear axle, had it new metal inserts made as the axle is off a later model 106 which takes a 12mm bolt and the the car takes a 10mm bolt and the housing that the bushes go in are different sizes, pics aren't the best

also sprayed the engine bay today aswell

 

[Ash']

Fairplay mate really good progress!

 

[James105]

[Daniel]

[adam172]

[Addicted]

awesomes! keep us updated you should do a running total too looks like its gonna be a bargain!

 

[CabinFever]

Nice project. I have something similar - Citreon AX GT with cammed VTS unit and stripped to 680kgs.

To say it's fun is an understatement! Punches well, well above its weight and is an absolute hoon to drive!

 

[not normal dan]

Good project, i'm a big pug/citreon fan, had a few myself an think they make cracking trackday/fun cars. I'll certainly be watching this one.

 

[welshname]

[Matt e]

[Matt e]
