You've done some great mods to it and really made it your own, whilst keeping it smart and discreet, I definitely like the stuff you've done.
#17: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 6:59 pm ---- Yeah it was a good day Gaz! Rather memorable, I remember that feeling of turning the wheel for the first time onto the road off Tony's street and going....oh yes, yummy car!
I'm not right in the head when it comes to travelling for cars, Graham's even worse for agreeing to take me there! Defo worth it though! London to scotland was via birmingham back-roads! Southampton was well...just FAR. Soon to be going to North Wales via Coventry too........

Anyone would think Scotland has a shortage of decent used cars
#19: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:04 pm ---- Today I found some spare time to give the OZ's a bit of attention!
One set of minging OZ's
After a clean just with some Autoglym Wheel Cleaner!
And after a coat of Poorboys Wheel Sealant and some cheapo but goodo Car Plan Tyre Shine!

#22: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: gti180lover, Location: KentPosted: Tue Feb 16, 2010 5:22 pm ---- great read i do ask myself why i sold it sometimes...
#23: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Tue Feb 16, 2010 6:23 pm ---- Yeah the OZ's are going back on in the summer, just cleaning them whilst I had a spare hour
No idea why you sold it Tony, but cheers
#24: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 2:28 pm ---- I tried connecting up the yellow wire from the back of the head unit from the cigarette lighter so that the H/U switches on when the car does. This didn't work and i blew a fuse in the bsi as there was a wire kicking about behind the head unit which was shorting...strange as the one that was shorting was covered in insulation tape... Anyway, that's all sorted now and my wallet's a little lighter after that experiment So i'm just going to have to live with turning on the h/u with my finger!
I did however manage to sort a few other things out with the car though 2 things were getting on my nerves/were a little unsafe with the original audio install i did:
1. For quickness when i originally installed everything, I had the power lead running up the side of the wing...FIAL.
2. The ipod cable was just put in through the front of the glovebox.
So....to resolve these problems I have:
1. Re-routed it through the bulk head and tidied up the wiring out of sight!
2. I had to remove the cd changer in the glovebox to drill a hole in the plastic in the bulk head next to the loom anyway, so i've just left the cd changer out for now anyway as I don't need it/cant use it/takes up space in the glovebox. There was now plenty space to bring my ipod lead into the glovebox.
Results are as shown below!
Engine bay before (how horrendous was this?!):
And now:
Wires are well tucked away behind the alarm doo-dah jiggery pokery box of tricks.
And the fuse holder is mounted on the back of the battery box at the bottom, there was a handy clip on the back to clip the power cable into as well to keep it neat. The rest of the wire is tucked into another set of wires.
Much better Albeit, the glovebox is a pain to get back on so I'm going to tackle this when it's stopped raining...It's half screwed on at the moment.
It just won't clip in at the top

#26: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Hotchy, Location: GlenrothesPosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 5:23 pm ---- Seen this parked up at halfords a we while back, best looking 206 iv seen around our area wished i could love my car as much as you but i just cant
#27: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 5:26 pm ---- It's not hard to have a 206 that stands out as being nice around Fife though with all the crap ones that go about! Cheers though! I don't know if i've ever seen you about??
#28: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: wagsy206, Location: Coatbridge, LanarkshirePosted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 1:09 am ---- Brian, didn't you swap the wire from pin 4 to pin 6??? on the connector that goes from the headunit and connects to the cars power connector, the yellow wire is in port 4 (I think) which is the bsi connection. stick it in pin 6 and you're ready to rock.
if it's in pin 6 then move it to pin4.
I remember bugawuga putting a how-to up, but couldn't remember if it was the old forum. I did it with mine and I'm sure others have done it as well
#29: Re: The GiT 180 progress thread, aka KiKi Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 5:18 am ---- Yeah i remember the guide. It worked on Graham's car then when he tried it off the top of his head it didn't work. So looking at it with the layout being as below with the earth cable on the bottom row. is it numbered like:
1 | 2 |
3 | 4 |
5 | 6 |
7 | 8 |
Is that the 2 wee wires that arent: ignition live, live and earth? iirc 3 and 7 are usually yellow/red and 8 is earth or something along those lines?!
