#1: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: simon_p, Location: SelbyPosted: Sat Feb 04, 2012 11:28 am ---- hi all. first off i'm simon, from selby in n yorkshire. ive just got rid of a car i built from the ground up, carrying out all the work my self bar paint. some of you may have seen it at shows last year....
anyway, on to the current car. its not going to be to everynes taste, and some will see it as a pointless waste of a convertable, but im more into bass than looking forward to getting the roof down 3 says a year!
2005 206cc 1.6 16v quiksilver. again virtually all work will be carried out by myself.
so first things first with all audio proects, if you cant get the power to the amps, they're not going to work!!
so alternator upgrade. i could have gone to town on it and used a 210a alt, but when a direct fit 150a is available readily for £20 a time, i'm game for that option!
guess which is the 70a and which is the 150a?!?!
tight fit.....
next thing is to upgrade the big 3. 0awg galore!!!
and with a run of 0awg to the rear, we need fusing and distribution....best make my own i think

#3: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: simon_p, Location: SelbyPosted: Sat Feb 04, 2012 11:39 am ---- last year just as a tide me over, i was running 2 vibe space 12"s in a 38hz tuned box...
this managed a 141.2db flat through 31hz to over 40hz, which was pretty damn good. however i knew with better kit, and a better box i could do better.
so i ordered another ground zero 2500w (thats rms, not peak!) mono amp and two of their finest nuclear subs. for those of you who don't know much about spl builds, theyre not the prettiest!!!
5cuft box, 36mm thick all the way round, braced with m16 stud bar. solid.
ive since made wall sides, but its far from finished, i will get more pics when its done.
unfortunately one of the mono's is faulty, so i have only had it tested with 1 amp running at 2 ohm, so at best 1500wrms, and it scored a 144.0db @ 40hz - happy days!!!

and we have housings for the finest 8" ground zero competition mids and there ridiculously loud 4" pa style tweeters!!! trim the centres and refix and we're ready for fit!!!

#9: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: simon_p, Location: SelbyPosted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:20 am ---- right, i had a busy week last week on the car. gt bumpers, coilovers, rear arches rolled and pulled, torsion bar readjusted, front amp rack, blah blah.

#12: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 7:38 am ---- Easy....it's a Dwarf coffin....or a Picnic basket.
If your not having the roof down what about welding it up and making it a proper coupe?
#13: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: simon_p, Location: SelbyPosted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:05 am ---- are you paying?
#14: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 3:01 pm ---- dont think itll pass mot with front wheels like that
#16: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: Aar_Im_A_Pirate, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Mon Feb 20, 2012 6:38 pm ---- Them wheels look huge on that 106!!
The cc is shaping up nicely
#17: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: simon_p, Location: SelbyPosted: Tue Feb 21, 2012 4:36 am ---- Cheers bud. They were 20x8". If I had fitted some uprated bump stops on the rear it would have been driveable at that height too! Bumps in the road caused a tiny bit of contact between te rear wheels and arches.
Still puzzled as to why it wouldn't pass an mot, what with the tread of the tyre being under the arch.
#18: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 5:14 am ---- well if it doesn't you could always swap them back to the originals for mot purposes
#19: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: simon_p, Location: SelbyPosted: Sun Apr 01, 2012 11:20 am ---- Unsurprisingly, it passed, what with the tread being under the arch
#21: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: simon_p, Location: SelbyPosted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:39 am ---- right, so heres the big update....
After having a real nice sunny day, i decided the "not quite a wall" had to go, so i decided to strip the car......
Threw a new box together to house the subs and the batteries together and voila.....
Roof down and subs in achieved. but now i have no dash and no doors.........best sort it.
Time to knock a skeleton up...
Note housing for standard switch gear blended in.
and kapow.....leather and carbon clad goodness
After being bullied by a certain mr pinder, i was informed i'd be a fool to only run 1 set of mids, so i had to rework the full doors. bugger!!!
not too many pics here, but heres a few....
just skinned.....
trimmed up, another few layers of resin....
with my new found carbon fettish, this is a site im oh too familiar with at the minute...
not 100%, but happy enough to say im still playing and learning
and all assembled......
Also, some of you may be wondering what the big hole was for in the dash. i saved this till it was dark just because i thought it looked cool...
and some of the car as a whole now...
and seens as though its in the bodyshop in less than 2 weeks, i dont mind doing some of the rougher jobs now, lets get it lower and those rear arches flared.
.next stop, build trim panels for the sides of the box and rebuild the boot, again haha
#22: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: sicskate, Location: Margate, KentPosted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:49 am ---- Dash is very original, how many hours did you spend making it?
#23: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:52 am ---- i love it!
great efforts so far
#24: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info ShufflersPosted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 7:35 am ---- Looking f*****g awesome mate, its come a loooong way since you showed me them pics how it was standard the day you come for them bumpers. Top job look forward to more updates
there's probably a good 30-40 hours work in the dash
#26: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: sulli, Location: SheffieldPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 5:45 am ---- Looking mint mate, but that 106 looked bloody amazing!
#27: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 6:10 am ---- hmm i like the dash but you have no heating in the winter and im sort of moving towards the gt bumpers after seeing an ezr cc with them
#28: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 6:44 am ---- Looks like great quality worksmanship, shame about the ding below the rear light!
#29: Re: simon_p's 206cc spl/subtle styling build Author: simon_p, Location: SelbyPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 8:25 pm ---- i have ample heating from the screen and footwell blowers.
and the dent will be all gone by the end of the week, as will a few other things
