Thought it was about time i got some pics of the car on here,

So after trading in a 1.9 diesel seat leon cupra i picked myself up a 2003 206 gti 180 with a little under 52k on the clock.


 


 


 


 


Not long after getting the car I bought myself a k&n appolo induction kit

 


 


Then when driving along I blew a hole in the side of the parada spec 2 tyre!

 


So it was a quick run to kwik fit for a new set of budget tyres as the other 3 were nearly on the limit anyway. I also decided to have a go at refurbing and painting the alloys as they were suffering from bad kerbing from the previous owner

 


Filled in and sanded down

 


Primed

 


Glossed

 


And lacquered

 


 


Next up was a cupra splitter

 


I also changed the exhaust for a powerflow cat back system keeping the same style tailpipe though.

I then decided it was time to renew the brakes as the discs were badly worn. I chose black diamond discs with green stuff pads


 


 


Took the car down to Santa Pod for the annual USC show and had a few runs down the strip, my best time recorded was a 15.3 second quarter mile

 


Yeah i take the photos while the girlfriend puts the tent up Laughing

 


 


 


 


Also put it on a rolling road while I was down there but I’m not too sure how accurate it was. The only mods are induction kit and powerflow cat back exhaust, and the results were 178.7bhp and 158.8ft/lb torque.

 


 


 


Then came xmas and after persuading the gf and the parents to buy me some team dynamics pro race 1.2’s i bought some proxes t1r’s for them and got them fitted while it was still snowing.

 


 


decided to spray the badge black at the weekend

 


UPDATE - 05.04.2011


about 6 months ago i bought a set of catcams 804's with a vernier pulley from a member on this forum, i was obviously very excited when i dropped the car of at a garage for them to be fitted. i had the car booked in at a garage near me for the cams to be fitted, aswell as a new cambelt and water pump then for everything to be mapped in with a custom map.

so taking a day off work i drove the car down to the garage, meet the bloke doing the work and he has no idea the car was booked in...apparently the man i had spoke to on the phone was away on holiday to new zealand for 2 weeks and hadn't put it in the diary. anyway, after that shambles the mechanic told me to leave the car with him and he would try and fit it in and work the weekend to get it done. so sunday comes and i phoned up to find out how it was going only to be told that the cams were damaged and they couldn't fit them.

so you can imagine how p****d off i was...however after getting in touch with the seller he put me in touch with the original dealer (macj) who was a massive help and offered to take a look at the cams to make sure the would not need re-machined as he knew they had never been fitted so couldn't be damaged, or would have to go back to catcams. so anyway the cams were checked over by a couple of people who all found nothing wrong with them, so my problem was put down to lack of knowledge on the mechanics part i think as they hadn't removed the hydraulic lifters when fittin the new cams.

but now 6 long months down the line i appear to be getting somewhere and the car is now booked into R S tuning just after easter. the car will be going on the rolling road before any work is done to get the current bhp then a custom map once all work has been completed.


 


also just bought myself some new dodo juice lime prime and some dodo juice blue velvet wax, some pics of the car after it wash washed and both were applied

 


 


 


 


UPDATE - 20.04.2011


after seeing a few photos of other members cars i decided to have a go at removing the black vinyl on the door pillar, but once again the pug throws up another surprise or 2. this time in the form of 2 horrible marks on the paintwork hiding under the vinyl, so i have now replaced the vinyl with carbon fibre

 



UPDATE - 10.05.2011


a couple of new bits for the car since the cams have been fitted,
first up is a mocal oil cooler with a thermostat built into the sandwich plate. hopefully going to fit it this weekend as the car needs an oil change anyway, so i'll post some photos of it fitted next week.


 


also since R.S.Tuning reccomended putting the standard airbox back on the car i decided to get a K&N panel filter which i have just fitted tonight.

 



UPDATE - 06.07.2011



Well as a few of you know I had the cams fitted a while ago and the car failed to make any extra power but as i wasn't the only one having bother with these cams, catcams were very helpful in getting to the bottom of the problem and replaced the inlet cam. They posted out a new cam a couple of weeks ago and I decided i would take the car down to kyle (gti180boy) who also had just fitted the new cam himself. I dropped the car off with him on a saturday morning and by the same evening he had completed all the work including sorting out the vernier pulley and the timing which the last garage had made a bit of a mess of. The following monday the car was taken back to R.S.Tuning for it to be mapped once again

these first 2 pictures are from the first time the car went to RST before any work haad been done

 


and an air/fuel ratio to go with it
 


These next 2 pictures are after the new cams were fitted and mapping was completed

 


As you can see there is quite a decent gain, however it was an incredibly hot day when the mapping was being done and Paul from RST said himself it would easily make over 180bhp on an average day...the box in the corner shows you air temp was 29degrees where it was only 17 degrees on the first day

and another air/fuel ratio once the mapping was done
 


Paul didn't seem 100% happy with how rich it was low down but for some reason said he couldn't do anything about it

I'd just like to say a quick thanks to mac for all his help with the cams when it didn't go right first time around, kyle for all the help offering to fit the cams and setting it up right, can't recommend him enough for anyone on this forum looking for work done on their car, I travelled 255 miles and it was worth it.

The car now runs great, feels alot more responsive and the extra power is clearly noticeable, it picks up from about 2.5k and then really kicks in at just over 4k and pulls all the way to the redline, the idle is a little bit lumpy but it sounds great to me Laughing
