[car_upgrade] Check Out My New Wheels!

[GTI6BOY 29]

Bit of an up date

 

I got a radtec rad to take away a bit of heat soak

 

Also got some bits powder coated

 

 

I have also a valeo padel clutch/lightened flywheel and a set of piper cam pullys going on and dialed in when the engine goes accross

i'm confused now

 

have you given up on the turbo dimma?

[GTI6BOY 29]

no this is to replace my everyday car (cti)

[GTI6BOY 29]

Changed painted bits

 

 

The car has now been picked up

 

 

Waiting for me when was Flywheel, Carbon trumpets, Piper cam pullys and a Valeo racing clutch

 

 

Should be ready to go in a couple of weeks

Looks like its coming along well, be interested to see how that flywheel lasts with the paddle clutch

[GTI6BOY 29]

Welded on a gti header tank bracket and you would never know

 

 

Subframe is on with new arb bushes/new rack/new drop links/Bronze bushes in the gear change/new servo/new master cyclinder/bbm hoses

 

Gti fuel tank is on all new fuel lines are on. 1.9 rear beam is on and raised to the correct height. New powder coated rear brakes and 266mm fronts. New wishbones.

 

Engine is now in and all plumbed in, will be doing the wiring tomorrow and should be running

:lol: :lol: :lol: I've often thought that too I reckon we have our own secret lottery winner on the forum

 

As long as you keep churning out these lovely projects, none of us mind though

Ha, i was thinking the same also, having been following the dimma thread aswell.

 

Used to see this car about a lot and was always mint, good to see it will be improved furthar!

Just out of interest, what is your profession Mr GTi6BOY????

 

Maxi

[GTI6BOY 29]

Lol...

 

I work for a metal recycling company and earn 25k

 

I also have a 1k pm mortgage which i pay on my own

 

I just love my cars and every spare penny gets spent on them

[GTI6BOY 29]

We have got it up and running!

 

Just a few small bits to do now so should be on the road in a couple of days.

 

I stripped and rebuilt the brakes and powder coated them red and they are huge in the 106 wheels

 

 

Also fitted some ebc discs and ferodo pads, new water hoses all round, new metal hose, lightened crank pully

 

 

Here it is on the deck, i will be taking it up a bit at the front but is fine at the mo

 

 

Close up of the engine bay. The battery has a carbon box in the back so will be moved, and the cabling needs a little tidy up, bonnet needs a bit of frame taken out so it shuts.

 

On the test drive the bonnet was only on the catch so i was taking it very easy....There is no noises/knocks/bangs what so ever. Pulling away at the lights there is so much power i cant wait till the bonnet shuts

Did you dress in womens clothes at weekends??? You have identical posts on the 306 forum but you are a girl on there. That looks strangely like pug performance to me.......

[GTI6BOY 29]

well spoted...lol

 

in the back room yes

[Jrod 7]

Looks great, Rallyes on 106 steels are the nuts!

[JamieTonks 1]

that looks great, well done

[GTI6BOY 29]

Picked up the new engine yesterday.

 

Its a bit of a secret at the mo so heres a poor quality pic for you to look at

 

All i can say at the mo is its brand spanking new engine never been fitted to any car. Even all the plugs on the block are brass coloured

 

Will post more good pics as the build continues
