Thanks matey. It was clean though! The paintwork is quite rough in places with lacquer peeling off, and i had just driven into a muddy carpark to take the pictures. It will get a proper polish at some point though to make it "streamline" through the air

On a side note, this picture shows the bigger brakes quite nicely as i forgot to take any other pictures (they only just fit under the standard wheels)



Lovely reflection pictures Henry

List of things to do (or rather might do if we can be bothered!)

* Fit dash
* Fit R888's to a set of wheels (either the standards, a set of vtr's or some rallye steels)
* Buy a steering wheel adaptor and fit the new wheel
* Go and have some fun with it like those videos!

I would love to do some sort of supercharger/turbo conversion, but this was never meant to be a big budget project and to be honest i think it will more than enough fun for what it's cost us so far.

Looks almost set then The video above just shows how well it handles, the way the back end stays out so stable.

R888s will make it stick rather nicely

Have you done anything to the brakes Steve ?

The brakes have been upgraded from 249mm to 266mm (off a 306 xsi) with new discs and new EBC ultimax pads - could have gone bigger but we didn't want to payout on bigger wheels/tyres. Although the discs aren't that much bigger the calipers are quite hefty compared to standard, and seeing as it weighs nothing it works out as a massive improvement for <£100

Those tyres were a bargain too, werent they Steve They are the most amazing road legal tyres ive experienced

You can take me for a spin Sunday afternoon, if you like, Steve... I'll let you

Excellant, I use to find my standard xr2i calipers worked well with grooved discs, Mintex Extreme pads, 5.1 fluid and braided lines,

when the car is light then huge brake arn't really necessary. I'm looking forward to seeing this go around Combe

I would really recommend the simota/raceland induction, I had the raceland on my Saxo and it really did give it a good kick.

Not the best of pictures but you get the idea.

[bakewell001]

I wouldn't mind one, but they don't seem to come up cheap! I might just make some sort of heatshield/enclosure for the current setup.

Might do some more work on the car this weekend if it doesn't rain.

Perhaps he meant, CAIS. Cold Air Induction System is the only thing I could think he may possibly be talking about...

Makes more sense. Isnt that what the Simota is though

[jonyb4]

oh yea... a typo and suddenly no ones got a clue

thats what i was saying!

[bakewell001]

It's pretty much the same setup as what i currently have, but without the enclosure bit around the filter. We will save money by making our own "heat shield"

[~nomad~]

Merde Agitation!

I might have a TU exhaust heat shield in my wardrobe if thats what your after? unless it got binned

Oh and the new thread title is probably the best one ive ever seen

Cant beat the merde agitation

Massive update - dash is back in



You can probably see the lines i drew which was going to be here we chopped the dash down, but it turns out we would have lost 3 of the main mounting points so we left it whole.

Should be booking a track day sometime this week for the 19th Feb

We've decided on having a seperate set of "track" only wheels, so we just need to get these bad boys fitted to them ready for then

[Smo]

Ah, it's been a while since I've been in a 106 GTi, but my god, this thing is so much fun... So quick too! Makes mine feel very slow

I drove it briefly, but I couldn't get the harnesses right and the lack of speedo illumination made it difficult to see how fast I was going, but it was wicked

I'll have a proper drive when we've got more time and some daylight, Steve

[hb69]

Much better with the dash back in

Scroll down and theres the Induction scoop, currently out of stock though.

[Percy!]

I might still have that very same induction kit in the garage, its not in the best of condition I believe, will dig it out if interested.

[jonyb4]

thats the way get some triple 8's on it!

that car will be fudgekin scary round a corner then

Unless you want to sell it insanely cheap, i'll have to pass pal.

Just had to pay out for a replacement strut/hub assembly, as it has decided to munch through a pretty much brand new bearing on the drivers side.

I'm hoping to have it all sorted out ready for combe in just over 4 weeks time. The bloody thing keeps going wrong just before we plan to use it!!
