#1: Jamie's Blue GTi180 - Back at Halfords 21-06-22 Author: JamieM, Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 5:07 pm ---- Sacré bleu!, bleu SONIC The 206 GTi 180
Hi guys well I'm back with another Aegean Blue 180!
Gary is a top guy, credits due where credits due he has kept the car EXTREMELY well and it is a credit to him. I actually think this is in better condition than my previous 180 that I bought in 2007 and that was only 3yrs old!
She's just ticked over 27k Pics to come ASAP expect some snazzy shots as I'm an ASW with the camera ha!
I can't wait to give her, her first warm snow foam & detail, the paintwork is very smooth so I doubt i'll need to re-clay:)
Some may remember back when, ... I had my first 180 *18 yrs old* made it in to a mint example before some mug bricked it and then I fell out of love and ened up with my ST
My last ones spec;
Simota CAIS
Scorpion decat back
Denso Irridium plugs - always have these
Remapped
Eibach Pro kit
Team Dynamic Pro race 1.2's
& more
182.5 bhp
Any way, here is my new one
[gayON] Firstly, I don't usually go about gay nicknames some on the forum give me the lols... however... I've ended up with a name for it... Sonic. It's sharp in places and looks like a hedgehog and ... it's blue lol! [/gayOFF]
Spec;
Aegean [COLOR="Blue"]Blue[/COLOR]
27k
FSH
6 CD Changer
Ipod control
Auto headlights
Auto wipers
Climate control
Stock Half leather, alacantara bucket style reclining seats
Extra bits;
Janspeed Catback
Ultra Rear LED's
CC'd Morrettes
FUll SP kit, arches, and all grilles
Powder coated anthracite Vortex Alloys & petrol cap
Think that's about it!
Plans;
Real CF mirror caps
Possible lowering - Vmaxx Coilovers
Vibra technics mounts - Bought
CC'd petrol cap - professionally done.
New age SP cap on grille & on engine cover
Poly exhaust rubbers to eliminate sag - all 180s have it bad mine sits tight
Polish inlet a little - Done
Possible Simota CAIS - Done
MY plates back on - Done
& wind deflectors! - Done
Pics;

Thanks, well I loved my old 180 back in the day and now i'm a student it's so appealing, My ownership was caught short due to blowing more cash on another car at the time lol
#8: Re: New, but old 180 owner... Author: SAB206, Location: North WestPosted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 7:24 pm ---- Welcome back pal! Ben or snowolf doesnt use the site anymore. Nice 180 you got there
#9: Re: New, but old 180 owner... Author: JamieM, Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 7:34 pm ---- Thanks SAB, my memory is a tad rusty i'm on so many damn forums now days lol!

#11: Re: New, but old 180 owner... Author: JamieM, Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:03 pm ---- Thanks Brian, yeah the ST's long gone, I sold it to my mum, she's always had Scooby's ect so it's just as bonkers as her lol
Even now i'm worryingly checking on the 180 from the window... I did say when I had the last one I loved it too much, there's just something about the Pug

#13: Re: New, but old 180 owner... Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 3:17 am ---- Good to know my baby has gone to such a good home. I thought I looked after her well & was a little bit of a clean freak but I think Jamie surpasses me. His Saxo is awsome & i can't wait to see what he does to the 180. As sad as I am about her going, it's good to know she's gone to such a good home. Have fun but be gentle(ish) with her mate.
Edit- Jamie, hope you don't mind me using my old avitar & sig till I get sorted.

Let's call this the start of the progress...
It will be very slow, which is unlike me because I have very little plans for this other than keeping it mint and I also plan on going on as many holidays this year as possible lol.
Today I bought a new microfibre for the wheels & some Redex fuel treatment, I do it with all my cars no idea why lol

#36: Re: New, but old 180 owner... Author: JamieM, Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 9:21 am ---- Today I gave her a QD;
Method;
Warm Light wash with Gold Class Shampoo using 2BM via Dodo Juice Wookies Paw - Not at home to use all my proper gear (snow foam ect)
Dry with Plush towel
Next i used Menzerna Top Inspection to QD the car
Followed by Dodo Juice Red Mist
Half hr later 2 layers of Dodo Juice Light fantastic were applied
& finally another layer of Red Mist.
Front splitter and tires were treated with Meguiars gel & exhaust shinned up with Autosol.
Soon I will properly detail the car but for now heres how she stands;
Just can't wait to get my plates on her now lol Last edited by JamieM on Thu Jan 27, 2011 9:37 am; edited 1 time in total

Lazy? Ah dude
I'll have a dig around for the pics and fire them over bud.
As for my 206... I sold it 4 years to the day of buying it, was about 115bhp when I finished with it. Spec was along the line of custom exhaust, induction kit, remapped, timing adjusted, gti180 brakes and rear axle, cosmetic bits and a few other things. Would never really get much more power from them and I wanted something as a better platform to modify.

I'm getting to old to be spending the amounts I have been, i've started liking my holidays more lol!
That said, I have a few plans for this 180, nothing major though:)
206 sounded like a beast considering it was only a 1.4 iirc?

Haha
Right well guys i'm updating my plans list!
Due to owning a fairly well moded Saxo VTS, I'm on the hunt for a little more excitement. The cars going like a dream apart from the dreaded clutch judder but I'm too used to my VTS which is quite abit quicker, so heres my plans...
I usually use Simota CAIS for my cars but, i'm struggling to locate my supplier, and the brand new Simota website is not great (great design) but they don't reply to my enquiries from before Xmas!
So heres what i'm opting for;
- BMC CDA kit for the RC courtesy of Kamracing
- Denso Irridium plugs
- Uprated Simota oil filter If I can get one
- & looking in to remapping again but not Angel tuning this time, but RStuning as they apparently are the best bet for the 180...
I'm not opting for big power or anything so no cams / boddies as I can't justify that sort of expense.
I'm also used to sublime handling which in the 206's defence i've owned one before and it can be rectified quite easily, I've done it all before but this time i'm opting for coilovers I think
For now the alloys will stay standard as tbh even when I had my White Team Dynamics I always enjoyed the winter months for when I reverted to them!
The only other plans I can think of is,
-Real CF mirror caps either form Ecosse or Streamline CF - (used alot previously)
-Wind deflectors
-& adjusting the exhaust as it sits a little to the left
- Fitting my private plates:)
-Possibly opting for standard rear lenses
- Brembo discs & pads
- Full detail with Menzerna Polishes & G220
Bit of a boring update maybe lol
Jamie

#61: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTi 180 :. 206 Vs Saxo shoot p!cs Author: JamieM, Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 5:30 am ---- Any links dude, or pics?
I think i'd still go BMC because they have proven gains, it's down to application and filter technology no doubt but yar ^:)
If I had money to waste i'd
- Buy the K+N Typhoon kit, steal the pipe in blue
- Attach BMC CDA to the bottom
- Change filter inside to an ITG cone
- Set up a hardcore airfeed
250
150
70?
£470 on an induction kit lol! for minimal gains but i'm sure optimum in induction kit context lol

no idea about figures Pal but is it worth it on the 180 after coming from an ST few cars previous?

Hmm I hate the look of using the old airbox looks like the person hasn't fitted the induction kit properly lol
But then again, it's much less of a faff to put the std bits back on lol

Thanks, it's pretty sweet it's in need of full correction though as there is etching in places and swirlage but the paint looks sweet with a good depth to it.
Suspension is standard so it's on stilts lol

iirc mate the car was never actually for sale, I posted up a wanted thread and Gary replied and offered me dibs if he were to sell and I took it:)
So you was the one who was trying to buy her around me lol!
Not that it will make you feel any better but it is in VVGC & i simply can't wait to set about it with my specialist detailing gear:P

I remember him saying somewhere that he was thinking of selling so got in touch. If only you hadn't posted that bleeding topic up!!!
Never mind, I'll have it off you once you're done with it! Enjoy it.

I had been looking for ages, I had another lined up at the time but left it too long. And then I thought i'd lob a thread up and see whats around, it was one of the cheapest 180's for sale, and MUCH better condition and MUCH lower milleage, needless to say as soon as I arrived and the garage opened I knew it had been well loved:)
Sorry:P
I'll keep you in mind mate, but it won't be for some time yet lol
#74: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTi 180 :. 206 Vs Saxo shoot p!cs Author: JamieM, Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2011 2:24 pm ---- Reet well kinda an update, not so much on the progress of the car but here goes...
This weekend I stumbled across some empty spray can used for hair and they are very close to the actual colour of my 180 so I thought it would be rude not to, so I now have my Qd' in these;
Also, you may have noticed the frebreeze, it smells similar to Dodo Juice Red Mist so that's now a part of my detailing kit:)

#75: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC Author: JamieM, Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:56 am ---- So I nicknamed my car Sonic, I don't really name cars usually but it reminds me of Sonic the hedgehog lol.
I have just got round to putting my numberplates on aswell.
Next update will be some standard facelift rears.
Sorry for the poor quality of pics no SLR to hand at the time and now shes dirty.
Comments more than welcome
JamieM
#76: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC Author: hobnob48, Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2011 6:00 am ---- Cars looking good. I do like the 180s in that colour.
Standard facelift rears mean the lights? I would leave the LED's on. I like the look its got.
But if you do change the rear lights gimmie a shout as I want a set of them ones lol
#77: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - Plates bk 11/04/11 Author: JamieM, Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2011 6:10 am ---- Thanks mate, yeh standard rears.
I liked these when I got it but now IMO they look tacky. Ideally I wanted some red LED rears like SABS to give it a more clean OEM look but I'm not looking to blow money on this car, so unless I get a swap for them some standards will be on the cards.
I'll bare you in mind when I eventually do the change!

Please excuse the quality, they are BB Torch shizer...
Also forgot to mention, It sailed through it's first MOT with me with flying colours the other day bar, I had to buy some legal plates @ the cost of £30, good old Halfrauds and shizer Kwick Fit!
And I got a caution for my exhaust being too loud.... Lolz, I've heard louder farts.
Tadaaaaaa lol.

Yep, it's in my MOT yellow section p**s take, guy was really trying for a tip by offering advice and explaining me how the rules had changed. Funnily enough I asked him if he could give me the decibel readings for my exhaust and he said he can't access that information... so how the hell does he know it's over :|?
#86: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - Std rears 28/04/11 Author: JamieM, Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 7:24 am ---- Finished what I started today, gave it a QD with Menzerna QD & a layer of Red Mist & polished the windows...
I know it needs lowering but it's never going to happen:thumbup1:
It's by no means 100% either, it needs full paint correction and if I can ever be asked it will be MINT , still not on 30k yet lol

Haha I wish I could justify the costs but I just can't atm lol
I really want;
- K+N Typhoon with the blue piping
- Map
- Coilovers
But that's like nearly a grand on little gains (Compared to my ST)
PM coming back your way btw!

Takes a while to come as it's from America, my first one was slightly damaged but hopefully this one will be good.
It's not his fault it's the packaging, he just sends it as he has it.
#96: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - 15/06 Simota... Author: JamieM, Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 3:47 am ---- [SIZE=45]Update the kit arrived[/SIZE], it's currently fitted using the stock bend & oil breather whilst I work out how to remove the bottom part of the air filter system, it's overly complicated on the 180's IMO.
Anyway I have no pics of it fitted but maybe later I'll try and get a vid up!
It sounds REALLY beefy, sounds lounder than my old one but I think it might be down to the fact the airfeed isn't fitted yet.
Also the carbon is MATTE not been laqured unsure why, but it looks good still.
PIC lol

#104: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - 26/05 Simota... Author: JamieM, Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 2:25 am ---- I'm happy to say that the induction kit has made a HUGE improvement over the stock filter. It's definitely not placebo effect! it felt like it was being suffocated before really flat power delivery now it has a punch to it and feels like it wants to go!
Sooooooo happy for £120.
Seriously though, unsure about actual power gains unless I got a before & after RR but for the actual driving experience it's made SUCH a difference it revs so freely now, I also cleaned the throttle body too actually loving it now sounds like it's on Roidz pops a little more too lol
#105: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - 26/05 Simota... Author: JamieM, Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2011 5:05 pm ---- So today I cleaned and had the Simota fitted properly, bad news on the wind deflectors one of them arrived snapped
Heres some pics of the car with the kit fitted & cleaned, it's had a good old clean no machine correction though.
The usuals but no machine or clay.
SLR pics at a later date cba to go downstairs and get it out of the car to upload haha
I'm at FCS but on the 'PerformanceTorque' stand

-Ecosse - Real carbonfibre mirror caps (next purchase)
-Lowering (probably just eibach springs like last time) however I have been looking in to the Bilstein B8's and Eibach sportline spring setup that ALOT of 180 owners use.

#114: Re: Jamie's ~ Sacré bleu, bleu 206 GTi 180 / RC - FCS pics 06/06 Author: JamieM, Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2011 6:19 pm ---- You may have noticed from my pictures the exhaust never sat right from day one and I have been too busy to sort it out until yesterday it finally gave way...
Havent got any pictures but basically, the far right rubber was stretched and had gone funny and the left one was taking the presure and started to go too...
Found the stock exhaust rubbers were used when fitting the Janspeed, they were probably ok at the time but obviously weren't up to the job in the end, So I replaced them with Powerflex Items and it sits much better now

Gave her a little clean today, and tomorrow she will be ready for a layer of Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Hard Wax
Also just bought a new type SP badge to replace the older style one on my front grille.
