well the car was dropped off by the wife to my mate at gt motorsport in stoke this morning to have the 4-2-1 manifold/ billet flywheel and uprated mounts fitted, i was hoping to be going up and helping out myself but i had to go into work to get a job done which had been bought forward.
anyway not long after he got a good look at it he rang me to say this is going need a bit of work to fit and will require some custom exhaust work, well i was already planning on getting a manifold back decatted system fitted once the manifold was on.
my mate makes his own systems there so he is going be making me a decatted system from manifold back for less than half of what longlife wanted so a win win situation and it gets the system done a couple of months earlier than planned

if your doing the cambelt then get the full kit with tensioners etc and also worth doing water pump at same time.
i will be running the oe clutch how long it will last i dont know as through the sketchy paperwork i have for the car there is nothing in there saying the car has had a new clutch but that doesnt mean it has not been done, i did a shed load of work on my old 5gtt which obviously didnt show up on the paperwork. |
Yeah i bought the full kit with tensioners and water pump. My mates doing the clutch and cambelt change all at the same time.

well this is an update i wasnt expecting to give
fount out last thursday that my wife is expecting our first baby so we have put the 206 up for sale and have someone coming to view today and potentially leave a deposit for collection this coming sunday.
so we decided we needed something bigger with 5 doors and a big boot, and on my part something with a bit of poke and something i can have a bit of a play with but nothing ott.
after having a good look at whats about its been decided we are getting a mk1 skoda octavia vrs 1.8 20v turbo in black and all being well will collect that this sunday also, i will keep you all updated and of course make a new thread when the time comes

Congratulations Andy!
Shame to see the build come to a hault, I hope the potential buyer carrys on with what you had planned.
The VRS should serve you well, it'll still put a smile on your face and cart the family around quite easily!
