ATS got the BE conversion kit....Not cheap though, but will be a easy conversion as it will be using the same mounting point

if i remember correctly because the crown wheel on the diff in a MA box are press on, it can fallen apart under heavy use. I certainly seen people bolting or even welding the crown and the diff together.

Had a look at the kit - expensive indeed! May be stronger, but I will have to ruin all 4 boxes I have here before I consider it Laughing

Right it's been a while, I have done nothing to the car literally nothing but planning to start it in May 2013, if I can't finish it this year I'm aiming to get it to track by summer 2014.

Instead of waiting till then I've been buying a lot of parts, nearly everything is here just need a few small things like seats, bushes etc. Some of the parts I've had for ages but will throw them in anyway.


Fully braided brake line with rear bias valve. Got a 2 port ABS master cylinder converted to non ABS lines so just go direct to the caliper. Bit of a naff picture.

 



Powerflex lower gearbox mount

 



OMP corsica dished wheel with boss and quick release

 



Faulkner 155lb springs, should lower about 40mm

 



Bilstein B8 front inserts and rear shocks

 



OMP upper and lower strut braces (going to both get powder coated)

 


 



Bosch 266 calipers, yet to get refurbed

 



1.3 S1 Rallye close ratio gearbox

 



Powerflex exhaust rubbers

 



R888 Semi slicks, only running in the dry

 



Federal 595 RS-R track tyres

 



40mm Jenvey setup with near reconditioned head

 


 



CatCam 708s

 


 



Predator standalone ECU

 



Have a custom made loom too, but going to have to modify to fit the 106 chassis plugs

2bh I do think that's a bad Practice mate as the cutting protrudes into the cone of the trumpet witch could unbalance or make the flow unstable causing intake turbulence so I get why you wanted to change them ASAP lol

Aye I just have no idea what size will fit without mass cutting of the bulkhead or the bodies from the brake bar. I think loads run 45mm ok. Last thing I want to do is start spending money without checking so going to run them as it is and get some measurements then go from there I think that's the best way.

If I can get it on the road I may just drive down your way and go to jenvey direct and see what they say

Had some spare time so started to clear up some of the parts ready for painting.

Stripped brakes down to find the dust seals had both perished...

 


 



So went to my local pug breakers and got some more, repair kit for £30 just didn't seem worth it.

 


 



Also got another O/S strut so now I have the correct struts with correct hub types Smile

 



Stripped down

 



Got the wire wheel out and spent a few hours doing various parts. Bit more cleaning up and some rust treatment and they will be ready for paint.

Some before and after pictures

 


 


 


 



Waiting for shed loads of paint and stuff to arrive then will get cracking with them Smile

Tried to fix up the steering wheel with soaking it and using a suede brush. Was flat and almost grey so although it doesn't look new it's an improvement.

 



Dirty...

 


 



More parts getting cleaned up.

 


 


 



Never seen such a seized lambda before... ended up having to get propane on it even then it still didn't give up without a fight.

 



Black HT paint, would have wrapped it by now but the wrap got lost in the post..

 


 



Nicely painted parts

 



Got loads more stuff inside ready to clean up and paint

 


 


 



Found a bottom end to work on. Was my mates who's head had seen better days but instead of stripping and rebuilding he just got a new engine. So it ended up in my hands Smile . Had a quick look over seems good, head gasket was ever so slightly blowing but not into the water ports.

 



Started stripping the rear beam down.

 


 


 


 


 



There was no play in the arms but it does look like everything has seen better days. I'm going to clean up and re grease everything then if they do go later will replace the bearings then. Can re strip in hardly any time at all once everything is clean and un seized.

 


 


 


 


 


 



Then I was looking at the torsion bars and one seemed slightly smaller... measured it and was 18.3 instead of 19mm..

 


 



So I had another spare axle, that had both 19mm bars so starting to try and get one out. Then they were badly seized, long story short got annoyed with it ended up just grinding the spline housing off the axle then hammering them out in a vice.

 


 


 



On the + side the original beam only had a 22m ARB, this one had a 24mm one

Think it's scrap now Laughing bearing wise yeah it's the same, stripping wise it's easier as a couple of the torx bolts and washers are much harder to get on a 106 and you have to do one side before the other where as on a 206 you can get to both bars and all bolts all at once.

Haha could do aye Smile

Just need to make sure it's done as soon as the bearings start to fail, otherwise the stub pins for the arms will get damaged and then it just needs scrapping really isn't worth getting new pins in although it is possible.

Not a huge amount done but it's a step closer

Got the rear beam painted up

 


 


 


 


 



Finished some more parts in black

 



And got the calipers ready to paint

 



Finally got the heat wrap through the post

 


 



PTFE braided fuel line with AN-6 fixings

 


 



Then got my hands on a 2" pugsport, it's a bit battered in places but should look nice with a tidy up. Has dents all round (non on the back or tip luckily), center section supports cut (?) and someone decided to just cut the pipe to the backbox for an unknown reason.

 


 


 


 



Also got a stainless joint and clamps ready for it

Very nice Harry did you wet the heat wrap before you wrapped it? That way it will go nice and tight when it heats up.
