#1: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Fri Mar 11, 2011 7:56 pm ---- well as many of you will know by now its my car thats had the v6 conversion (first in the UK :D), well thought it was about time I made one of these as only a few members have seen the the car from the day I bought it upto the present day.
Well I bought the car in October 08', a month before my 17th birthday, I originaly wanted a 106 Gti and was on route too take a look at one when this caught my eye:
(the only picture i have as it stood then)
ok ok the stickers made it look slightley chav-tastic but it was the shape of it that mainly attracted me I liked the way the rear window sweeped up n genraly how slick it looked, a test drive later and I soon put down a deposit.
a week later i had a shiney cherry red pug on my drive and i quickly bought a new headunit and that was it, had plenty of ideas of what id like but I didnt know really were to get bits from or how to do many mods so i started looking on the good old tinterweb and found info's austrlian counter part lol (www.206gti.net) which was resonable with a few how to's after a quick read up i bought some Ministry of Sound front speakers and a pair of 6x9's a bargain at £40 and the sound was better then the standard speakers.
(neon light = face palm)
I then stumbled across 206info and then the modding bug bit me... and hard.
It opened me up to a whole new side of modding also many more how toos and a great load of new people and friends.
My to do list:
Lights Front and Rear
De-badge
lower
exhaust system
tidy engine bay up
new interior
alloys
colour code
sport bumpers
then i had 2 fails
bought some chrome lexus lights and i thought they looked the shizz (todays tea has just come up to say hello) and some black angel eyes (problem they are h7 my plugs were h4 but after abit of a work i got them to work, also bought some spax lowering springs -40mm but i never got round to fitting them.
looking back now i wish i'd just bought Phase 2 rear lights but it wasnt to be
then i foucusd my attention at getting my interior sorted so i bought some sprayed my interior plastics silver and found a gti interior on e-bay for £150, and soon fitted it felt a million miles better then the horrid trashy blue lx interior so was very pleased with the overall look that then inspirted me to by some rear speakers and I filled my boot with my subs.
best pic of the complete interior i could find
did a few little mods after that and later 206info died I decided to give my self a deadline to have it looking the part by the time info was back running...
video of exhaust:
then I got ideas about my v6 after nearly turbo'ing it.. so off to the very capable hands of Gary Stone at CCC- Cleveland Car Conversions it went.
as she stands atm
I'm not sure on which rear lights to use:
my full tinted ones:
or these in this style which I have been having a mess around with? :
Ideas welcome ! let me know what you think!

#3: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Fri Mar 11, 2011 8:18 pm ---- I may well do mate, all depends on how I feel lol the do like them smoked ones though just need to get the out side to match the engine lol thats the next level
#4: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: ukskater01, Location: sutton surrey/welwyn garden cityPosted: Fri Mar 11, 2011 8:24 pm ---- How fast is it now you have a v6!? How much was your insurance with the new engine? I do like the cherry red 206's and yours looks quite tidy, I would go for smoked rear lights or phase 2's. Have you still got the same exhaust since the conversion?
#5: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Fri Mar 11, 2011 9:35 pm ---- what power does it have? is it fast i take it

car's looking really nice mate. smoked m3 rears would set it off a treat! glad you lost the stickers on the sides. you need to get your drop on aswell

#8: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Mar 12, 2011 3:50 am ---- It's such a shame that most of the cars that have interesting mechanical work done see to have awful 'styling' modifications. Standard kit is so much less tacky and home made looking.
As for those black rear lights, I've been behind a few cars with them and they seriously reduce the brightness of the lights.
#9: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: MNARAA, Location: In a traffic jamPosted: Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:27 am ---- You'll probably disagree, but I think putting the exterior back to completely standard would be best. V6 206 would make a wonderful sleeper.
#10: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:36 am ---- Id be tempted to also stick a HDi badge on the back

#18: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: c2v6, Location: saltburnPosted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 3:15 pm ---- loose the black rear lights use the second ones pictured.
it would look better with the wheels on that it came to me with one of, (the odd one)
The car is now complete guys Nics just tidying bodywork up before he brings it out.
It is rapid, i pitched it against a mates 180 and it pulled away in every gear.
it not been rolling roaded but when i do the same conversion on the C2's a decent filter and exhaust with tweaked cam timing pushes a nice 215-220bhp.
Need some more pics and vids now Nic.

#28: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: c2v6, Location: saltburnPosted: Fri Jun 24, 2011 8:55 am ---- I did that bit for him. Took me 2 weeks and was an absolute pain but well worth it.
#29: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 9:37 am ---- update 21/01/2012
after a long break of not really bothering with it due to baby being born other circumstances I cracked back on with the project a few weeks back (as some of you know) ive started really hammering on with the body work so she sits all sanded down decided i would go for subtle smooth look and have smoothed a few bits of body work, wanting to refurb alloys maybe astor grey (306 gti colour) which will match some other bits im doing in that colour, as for the interior im going to be doing a retrim to black with red detailing with some carbon fibre bits and pieces steam cleaned the carpets as they were a real horror story and fitted my dynamat planning to do the whole car today pics to follow at some point

#37: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Feb 04, 2012 5:34 am ---- Good little (big?) conversion this...I do think the idea of a standard looking 206 Si SW with a V6 sounds like fun. Nice big engine for long distance work but a bit of boot capacity too.
#38: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Feb 04, 2012 9:10 am ---- if ever my engine goes in the cc this will happen how much did it cost and did it effect your insurance

#40: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 6:27 pm ---- Is that inc the engine etc does it effect insurance
#41: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: c2v6, Location: saltburnPosted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 6:41 pm ---- that includes everything needed. insurance is dependant on your provider so you need to talk to them about it matey

craigdmjv: If you was ever in doubt about this conversion dont be! garys work is second to none and he really knows his stuff! as for insurance ive been on to a few places and the best ive had is just under £800 fully comp and im only 20 with two ync so in fairness that isnt bad its just the cost of juice which is the killer really because I have a unbalanced right foot lol.
simon_p: Thanks mate its starting to get were I want it at long last!

#57: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:53 pm ---- im still in need of a exhaust should have one made up soon though and lol and ahh yeah mate dont blame you to get that done right its a dear do! I think I told you about having a idea of putting it on bodies? thats ideas now been banished just want to get the exterior and interior up to standard then once thats done ill think of maybe even more poke plus im after another car as a family wagon so moneys tight lol
#58: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:17 pm ---- update: cracked on with yet some more tedious sanding (when will it end lol) had a little mess about making my badgeless front grill spent about 20 mins in which got fed up so carried on with the sanding after a hour and half decided to make some smoothed mirrors (pictures to follow) just to see what they would look like if I like them ill put them on the car if not they were only spares anyway and ill put the gti ones back on going to be sorting the engine bay out and get it looking tidier until I can do the respray then ill crack on with other bits like interior etc
#59: Re: Project: Popped cherry Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 7:13 pm ---- you should get a hidden exhaust ans smooth over the gap in the bumper with phase 2s and smoothed boot and maybe some dished splits, lows and morettes

thanks mate! I will when shes back on the road sounds well though as im sure gary will agree with me, if you want a idea of sound its similar to a alfa romeo v6 with performance back box just mine also pops and bangs,
ive noticed you wrote a little about my car on the peugeotclub.co.za (well im guessing its you lol!) if any ones interested the website is: www.peugeotclub.co.za/node/1955
as for exhaust the one that is currently on is just my old 1.6 one with decat and I think 3 and half" back box mated to the 406 manifolds this will be getting changed in due course though and when my mate can be bothered to make me one!
and simon_p dont worry worry about it mate! you saying that you couldnt enjoy it isnt that the whole point of owning a pug lol
there's not enjoying a car because its a pug, and there's not enjoying a car because its THAT pug....
white leather, unreliable air ride, seriously innacurate fuel guage and 20" wheels don't make for a nice drive.

update* started to get the primer on her quite glad shes going back to a block colour rather then mixed metal and dust
had some bits off lee_thr which will be going on in due course was good meeting you mate, im thinking after some thought that she will have too be raised so a set of collies will be ordered soon

started to get my alloys sanded down (still unsure of a colour to refurb them in)
got my mate coming next week after a lot of pestering he is going to make a custom 2.5" exhaust (still abit unsure on a back box though maybe a oval one or double barrel like a 180) and weld my passenger door lock out as there's a hole where some toe rag tried to break into it.

#85: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:14 am ---- it is quite tight but i think it looks tidy just want to fit the gti expansion tank so i have more room behind the passenger headlight make it look more oem?
#86: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:55 am ---- Have you done anything to the engine or is it standard internals?
#87: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 6:14 pm ---- update
about time I bloody did one!, cars had a few more bits done and is in complete primer and has been for abit not long and the paint will go on
decided the phone needed a bath so ive lost all my recent progress pics
basicaly what ive done:
bought tow strap
bought a badgeless grill
painted and sealed the underside of the car
fixed front bumper
fixed rear bumper and smoothed tow eye out
found some neons under my rear wheel arches (not my doing)
got some welding do too
car has also developed a small oil leak thinking it could just be cam shaft seal but will have to look into it pictures will follow soon

#89: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Wed Aug 29, 2012 1:06 am ---- Looking good! Mine was test fired up yesterday after Gary chopped out dozens of un needed wiring
#90: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 5:51 pm ---- Update!
It's been a while...
Body work is pretty much sorted ( slight bit of welding left nothing too hard, new rear led lights have been bought, climate conversion is 95% completed and all the amp wiring has been changed to 0awg next up is tear disc conversion as well as fitting the new brembos after they have been powder coated pics to follow soon probs missed loads out but you get the idea... Progress at last

Not to sure on power atm as since then ive had a few little tweaks here and there internally and well initial conversion was about 2300 for everything bit like ive said had other little bits done here and there saved hell of alot on bodywork costs doing it my self and learnt so much which is priceless.
Will have some more updated pictures soon keep a eye out people

Rear bumper has been semi smooth doors have had there locks deleted (some barstool had screwdrivered both sides do this was the easyist thing to do!)

Under the bonnet? Haha as it will be custom work obviously the bodies will be shorter ones will be a squeeze but I will fit. Believe it not if I relocated the battery I would have enough room for a blower but its expensive enough as it is haha.
#99: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 5:45 pm ---- I would charge it over ITB from my experience more gains less money

it has crossed my mind mate but id prefer it n/a And from what I can see bodies hasnt been done plus the noise it should make hopefully will be epic haha aswell I dont want too much power and ruin the way it will drive
#101: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 10:39 pm ---- Lol I have ITB's and have had for 4 years now and mines a daily driver but its not the best to drive espeshally in the cold it hates ticking over ect. But it would be good in a V6 as I've seen it done on a ford cugar block.

Aye ive looked at your thread a few times mate lovley car like! Mine wont be my daily as the amount of mileage I do, im guessing your idle is quite lumpy mate? Yeah its just something different isnt it ive not heard of any of the 406 brigade doing itbs either seen a old astra v6 with bodies but it was half finished and not running well at all im guessing that would be the same motor thats in the old mondeo st24/200's? Cant wait to hear it though ahould sound well its bloody loud as it is and my neighbors must hate me even more so once its done lol
#103: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: erick3.14, Location: BrazilPosted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 4:17 pm ---- sorry for the questions: which gearbox are you using? did you have to do anything special for the gear link rods? Just wondering if the v6 engine is
what about ECU? I saw and it seems your 206 was preplexed. So I´m assuming you also installed the v6 ecu . is that right?
#104: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 4:23 pm ---- You 3.0 engine have big stroke and less revving potential so if you want decent torque via ITB (TBs) you need very long velocity stacks. If you use short ones you will lose lots of low-mid range torque even on higher revs. So I think you can install TBs under bonnet but cant install longer ones. I think your best shot is blowers / superchargers. Save your money for rotrex or procharger
#105: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 5:03 pm ---- In fact you'll probably loose torque as ITB's go more for the high revving so more the Bhp side. As said before nic look into a charger they would be epic iirc you can get 280ish Bhp on standard internals on a gti block imagine that + more in a 3.0v6!
#106: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Sun Apr 28, 2013 7:01 pm ---- Thanks for the input guys still not sure what too do might even change the engine again lol progress has been next to nothing due to alot of changes like buying a golf r32 and soon to becoming a dad again I just need more hours in the day so I could get this done
#107: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: Icetto, Location: Cape TownPosted: Wed Jan 08, 2014 3:14 am ---- Nic what's happening man? Any updates?
#108: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Sat Jan 25, 2014 6:08 pm ---- Hey mate at the moment absolute nothing lol my daily r32 has proven German reliability is a total myth so the pug fund has been going on that give me a month or so and there should be a update
#109: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Sat Jan 25, 2014 6:59 pm ---- Looks good:) can't wait to see it finish! got exited when you said r32, but it's the boring kind;)!
#110: Re: Nic's 206 v6 (20v6) updated Author: Icetto, Location: Cape TownPosted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 1:35 am ---- Which one sounds the best?
