There is quite some text, if you don't want to read it just scroll down Wink

Okay so the story began about 4 years ago, on a Slovenian Peugeot fan forum. I was searching for some info about P307, that my sister was buying at the time (that's the blue one on the pics below). Being bored of going through all the problem pages I took a look into the "Members cars" part of the forum and made the fatal click that led me into the world of the peugeot 206 s16 obsession :ugeek:

Needless to say I stopped searching for info about the 307 and started searching for everything that I could find about 206GTi. I went through all YT movies, reviews, topics, presentations, anything that I could possibly find on the net.

Whilst searching I discovered 206online.com (rip) and 206info Smile Anyway I started thinking just about how I want to buy this car and about a year and a half ago I finally did.

:hand: Before I continue I need to thank a friend (Legoless) who made quite a few miles to help me pick a good one (most s16/GTi's in Slovenia have been crashed, rolled etc) actually a few hundred miles to be exact.

So in the beginning of August 2008 we went to check out a white 206GTi at a local trader. We were skeptical from the get go as the car was imported from Italy (imports from It. are usually wrecks), the clutch bearing was worn, timing belt was giving out all sorts of sounds, and the gas pedal seemed to be way too short :think: DOH!!!

But then a ray of light Very Happy We checked the whole car with a paint thickness meter and it was all in the factory parameters, we almost took apart the car and found no trace of any tampering on the bodywork. I have never seen a 206 GTI/180 that wouldn't at least have a bit of parking damage. So that was a big plus for this car Cool

I really took my time thinking about should I buy it or not, went to check a few more S16's but one was worse then the other DOH!!!
In September 08' i finally took the plunge and bought the car of my dreams...

I still remember how thrilled I was when I first drove it out the car park. Timing belt and clutch bearing squealing, gas pedal way too short, driving on reserve gas but I didn't give a flying F. The first thing I did was take it to the gas station (filled it up and adjusted the throttle cable) then took it to a mechanic Laughing It was running like a dream after that apart from a few intermittent Peugeot electronic problems Very Happy Cool

A few info we all probably already know:

Model: 206 GTI/s16 2.0 16v
Power/Torque: 136hp/190Nm (It showed a bit more on the dyno but can't find the printout DOH!!! )
top speed: 210km/h
0-100km/h: 8.4s

Enough babbling, here are the photos:

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 
 
 

I know the rim is scratched but that's the cost of buying an Italian import Razz

 
 
 

Nicely cleaned engine bay (a bit of a fetish Laughing )

 
 
 


This are the photos of the car when it was still stock. More to come later... Mr. Green

Thanks for the comments Smile

Well lets continue...The first thing I changed on the car was the audio system as the original is well... eeeerm too quiet Laughing

So here it goes:
Blaupunkt Memphis MP66 and Dragster DSK 672.1 front system.

 


 


Supplying power for the front system Ground Zero GZTA 2.250 MK2
 


Installing:
 


A friend hard at work Very Happy
 


Then I ran out of space om my picture phone Rolling Eyes


Anyway I thought I'd last longer with out a woofer but I didn't. So a month later something else was added:

woofer Alpine 1243D
Powered by Stealth AMP 1.8

Having the cables all over the boot wasn't looking too good so when I had some free time I made a false floor:

Disaster:
 


 


False floor set up just to see if everything fits:
 


Say hello to my cat, who really wanted to "assist" me:
 


 


Everything already in the car with an improvised top plate so things don't fall onto the amps:
 


 



After a while I finished the top plate and it was all ready for atest assembly:
 


Then everything went out:
 


Parts waiting to be dressed in black:
 


Partially done:
 


Finished and prepared for final installation:
 


showoff:
 


The end of audio part of the project:
 


The plexiglass is completely transparent, it just had the protection layer still on it as I didn't want to scratch it Cool

okay lets make another update this time performance orientated:

I got a call that a package from UK was waiting for me...
 

 


hmm let's take a look inside...
 


And after 2 months of waiting:
 


I think you all know what these are (Bilstein B8 + Eibach sportline)
 

 



And one more non performance part Very Happy
 



Almost forgot about the Griffiths Quickshift that arrived that week
 


It was a pain in the ass to install before we figured out we could just take out the battery DOH!!!

At first we had some problems with the torsion bars at the back plus it was too high and it had to be redone the next day as the car started going sideways in sharp turns which was to say the least unpleasant. :shifty:

The last photoshoot before the drop:
 

 

 


after installation of the new suspension:
 

 

 


More to come, stay tuned Mr. Green

@Brian, hehe it's already been taken care of, I just haven't had the time to make an update on the exterior yet. I'll write it up tomorrow Smile

@Dillon, yup keeping it clean is a bi*ch, especially during winter. But I just love white cars, so I can live with it. As for the wheels, I'll probably stick to original ones and refurbish them to anthracite + 17" only reduce performance + tires cost more Cool

@Ruffy, its just about flat (i.e. no gap when the boot is closed), but I've measured everything before constructing it, so it doesn't hit anything Wink

Stunning car mate, i'm thinking of a simular suspension set-up, what is the ride comfort like? is it bumpy and stiff? I had spax set-up on my old 206 and it was really stiff and could feel every bump in the road.

It's pretty stiff but I think a lot of that has to do with me having a f'ed up rear axle. Still it's not a very comfortable ride (though I love it through the corners) Smile
