#1: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine done!* d9 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 4:43 am ---- Welcome to my work in progress thread. I started off as a user on here and i was called Rob_Zombie maybe you'll remember that name... or maybe not
I bought my Peugeot 206 before i could drive, and i'll tell you what.. its not a good idea
My uncle had something to do with it, lets just say "I wont go there" its depressing
Anyway, lets start with... insane moments?
2005 - 1st got car... couldn't drive and was very bored of looking at a red car sitting on my drive, so ebay it was looking at modifications.
I know what you are thinking YYERRRRRKKK, well all i can say is i was paying for insurance for a car I couldnt drive, yeah i know its stupid my uncle convinced me that he would take me out on private lessons... so money was wasted on a car... on a drive! What i really wanted was Morrete headlights but at the time they were 400+
Early 2006 i past my test (after paying what it seemed a year of insurance but not being able to drive) - again uncle was no help
I took off those gastly headlight masks/covers and binned them, i also replaced the standard 14" peugeot alloys with 16" fox multi-spokes
Major gappage in the arch, then i was told to lower it.. from lovely forum users off here. But with the 1st year of driving i was told thats a no no as insurance is already at a all time high so i went to halfords and bought a
exhaust cap (i think thats what these are called)
Crazy stuff, i went mad again... (WHISTLES **** ) and went chrome mad!
YUrrrk, i was just sick in my mouth a little bit its not until the high level brake light broke from being soo cheaply made i got a led crystal red led light (looks standard) but its
i was soo drunk with happyness that i made a slideshow of my car and i thought it was the best looking car on the street s171.photobucket.com/a...1690df.pbw
Still wanting Morretes i bought into the cheaper option, angel eyes
Notice something... still keeping the chrome theme...
now... i dont know why, but i started debadging everything...
again... looking back i gag and hurl in my mouth
MR DUCK SAYS CHANGE IT NOW
Ok mr duck i will i promise!!!
Got it!!! got colour coded used headlights off the bay and i got rid of the badgeless grill, also you eagle eyes will notice i got those flat bladed wiper blades
17" vortex alloys
Fixed "Chrome issue"
French carshow 2010
before lowering
Now lowered
Spax VSX fixed suspension (claims lowering 40mm at front) well, its not!! been told by the expert Kyle(gti180boy) @ stafford max drop will be 30mm at front when settled.
back torson has been adusted by 30mm
I asked for 40mm but was talked out of it, i like it!!
Future plans
-to get stuy to do a nice nice paint correction
-my vortex done in powder white DONE!
-bucket seats. (coming soon)
-calipers done in red DONE

#10: Re: DeadEyePaul's Sexy Red Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:51 am ---- Ok, Update! A visit at Birmingham city coaters resulted in nice white wheels (FINALLY)
They removed the chrome badges along with the foam pad that bonded them to the wheels... so I thought what the heck I'll get new ones!
I painted them in Cherry red, closest Halfrouds paint to my car... I LIKE!
FITTED, yeah baby!!
Whilst waiting for the wheel badges to dry I was looking for something else to paint... I chose this!
Before painting it look very tired and faded I thought why not!
#11: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 9:45 am ---- Red goes the calipers

#17: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 4:18 am ---- Looked really good before you did the wheels, the wrap and those roof strips. Kind of like a 5dr 180.
Now it just looks a bit chavvy.
#18: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 7:46 am ---- I agree Ali. Think the wrapping was one step too far. As long as your happy thats all that matters though.
#19: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:23 am ---- I love it! and that's what counts

Agree with this totally.
But as you say you like it and that's ultimately what matters.
#21: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:06 am ---- Not sure if I like it or not. It's got a lot going on and I would say stick with two colours not three. I just don't like red and white though so that's proberly affecting how I see it.
Maybe you will throw up in your mouth in a years time like you did with the chrome
#22: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 8:13 am ---- I think this is a nice looking 5 door to be fair, only think I wouldn't of gone for is the wrapped bonnet and the red rim around the alloys

#25: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 11:36 am ---- The plastic roof strips were faded and absorbed wax from
when I'd wax the roof and looked terrible. If you saw it in person you'd like it, sometimes pictures just do not justify.
But tbh if you don't like it; it is not my problem
#26: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: grantynp3, Location: Newport,South WalesPosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:46 pm ---- Where you said you fixed the chrome issue .. how did u change the rear plastic red .. i like it and have these lights hanging about
#27: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 2:33 pm ---- I assume you mean the brake light on top of the rear window? It's fairly simple, open the boot door and there will be two long bolts, undo the nuts and then place a spanner flat against the end of the bolts and lightly tap the spanner with a hammer on each bolt and slowly tap it out eventually pushing those two bolts through to the other side and the light will just fall out. Then just disconnect the windscreen washer hose and power supply. (1st time doing this will be difficult due factory fittings)
#28: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: grantynp3, Location: Newport,South WalesPosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 8:11 pm ---- Nah I ment the rear lights did you change them or do something with the lense as they look like the same lights just red lense instead of clear to chrome if you no what I mean
#29: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 9:14 pm ---- Oh haha, I found some red ones that were the same design and swapped them over. There are ways which you can split the plastic on the lenses that involve the oven. I couldn't be asked to try
#30: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: 00budham00, Location: IpsPosted: Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:32 am ---- looking good but personally i would have done the roof white with red bonnet, really like the wheels very diff with the red band:D
what are your next plans bro?
#31: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated with CF wrap* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:16 am ---- Got some cobeau bucket seats in black vinyl on order from demon-tweaks and that's it for now
#32: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:45 am ---- Rear leather bench installed (THANKS to Uz) for supplying

#35: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Thu May 24, 2012 2:52 am ---- I had a paint problem with a rear bumper that was bobbling up (painted by a forum member off here) don't worry -dave- it wasn't you! and there was a rear door, there was water runs inside the paint (don't know how this happened) so I took it to the bodyshop to get those corrected.
Then I decided I get the morettes and badge grill done black to match the vinyl bonnet
#36: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated* Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Jun 04, 2012 9:30 am ---- Hay Paul I've just got some seats and need some sub frames to fit them any heads up On the ones you got? And never worked on the seats before what's involved regarding the seat belt pre-tensioners??
Thanks mate
#37: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Mon Jun 04, 2012 10:08 am ---- The seats I have are from a 5 door and they are sitting in my garage with bin bags over them. They are a red thatched design they still have the runners and they worked like a dream when they were inside my car. They don't have side air bags. I got no idea about the seat belt pretensioners I think they are fitted with the seat belts in the A pillers
#38: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated* Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Mon Jun 04, 2012 10:15 am ---- I do like the seats.. But my only issue is that (imo): If you have front aftermarket, racing bucket seats. Remove the rear completely. Otherwise, don't bother.
Otherwise. :thumbs:
#39: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated* Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Jun 04, 2012 10:16 am ---- Did you need to get some subframes from any were?

#44: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Sun Jun 10, 2012 11:40 am ---- It didn't :). Adrian flux just charged me for my insurance, key cover breakdown cover and courtesy car. All mods declared and photographs requested from insurance company for their records
#45: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated* Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sun Jun 10, 2012 12:25 pm ---- Sounds good to me I haven't put mine in yet. Did you bolt your standard seat belt clip onto your sub frame then?

#52: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *updated* Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Mon Jun 18, 2012 12:46 pm ---- Exactly the same reasons! My roof strips were fading and I also covered it accidentally by waxing the roof. Got person who was wrapping roof to wrap those strips
#53: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red preparing for v6 d9 4/8/12 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Fri Jun 29, 2012 3:04 pm ---- I decided not to go for air ride suspension after getting quoted 2,500+ to buy the parts needed then pay again to have it fitted and I would of had to decided where to put the air tank :/
Then I came across Nic_206 v6 206, had a chat with Nic and Gary and I have decided to go for torque/power. But before that happens I need to upgrade!
Ordered FK coilovers(Thanks UZ for the link) waiting for mr postman. Ordered 2 new top mounts (bilstien) and 2 drop links.
The top mounts came and a drop link came (1 still on back order)
I'm waiting for Gary to get back to me about exhaust upgrade.
I will be without my car for 2 weeks whilst Gary has it and it's going to be a painful wait but it will be worth it(will be like a new car)
I already asked Adrian Flux before getting in touch with Gary and they don't give 2 hoots! Dvla will be notified when change is completed.
Vroom vroom

Just make sure you upgrade your brakes as that's a heavy lump + more power to stop

#58: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red preparing for v6 d9 4/8/12 Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri Jun 29, 2012 4:33 pm ---- With all the extra intake ect I think it's a tad heavier than a standard 1.4/1.6 set up. I was saying (I) wouldn't run close to 200 bhp on standard lower spec brakes, I upgraded to the 307hdi due to over heating my standard gti setup.
#59: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red preparing for v6 d9 4/8/12 Author: AzMan, Location: LondonPosted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 7:18 am ---- Jesus thats one hell of a car, I'd have mine like that if i had the time and money, minus the black bonnet, roof and lights though. well done anyway. Like those seats alot, bet you turn some heads in it too.
#60: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red preparing for v6 d9 4/8/12 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 8:21 am ---- Woah that's a few comments! Thank guys (don't know what on earth is happening to notifications?).
I have 2xdrop links 2xtop mounts but my coilovers are still stuck in germany(since Thursday), at a guess it's customs holding it up(upside down smile)
I really can't wait for engine upgrade!
#61: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red preparing for v6 d9 4/8/12 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Sat Jul 07, 2012 5:19 pm ---- New coil overs are in but getting a pinging sound when I steer and it's too wet to investigate. I know what it is as it happened before. Wheel arch is fouling on steering arm and is flicking against something and pinging. Ordered 3mm spacers to resolve this problem and will look at cutting nice chunks out the arches
Ste took this picture at FCS
Going tomorrow to Coventry to pick up some GTI 6 brakes

#63: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red preparing for v6 d9 4/8/12 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 5:26 am ---- Gary stone (look on YouTube) is putting in a Citroen v6 3l d9 said it will produce 220bhp once installed, I cannot wait! Cars front brakes have been upgraded to gti-6 brakes and I have installed coil over suspension. Once engine is in I'll be getting a full stainless exhaust with a 200 catalyst (to keep mr MOT happy)
Hopefully it will be done in time for knock hill in September

Oh and climate control had to come out as engine won't fit!
Defiantly going to attend more meets when it's finished! Hope
It's finished before trax
#78: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is out* p5 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 10:42 am ---- Did it cost extra because of the clutch type coversion?
And does the V6 weigh enough to compromise handling? Just curious

Not sure about the engines weight but it is designed for a coupè.
P.S the engine is in the bay!!!! Wiring it in today

That engine in a SW Si would be perfect combination.

Is that because the SW has slightly more weight at the back to give better distribution?

Nope, just because you wouldnt expect an SW to be fast!
#87: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 9:31 am ---- I noticed there is a Catcams application for the V6...
#88: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 10:53 am ---- It can be turboed too but I'd probably keep it as is I'm going from 90bhp to 215 which is a big jump
#89: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 11:53 am ---- you will soon want more power mate yours should do better the mine if they were both standard engines and remapped but ive started playing lol would be good to get them both dyno'd together team red 20v6 ftw mate

#91: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri Aug 24, 2012 9:03 am ---- 215? Are you having extra work done to the engine? I thought they were 194ish standard, maybe im wrong in that case welcome to team N/A 210+ Last edited by spike_202 on Fri Aug 24, 2012 9:43 am; edited 1 time in total

There is still room for future improvements
#93: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri Aug 24, 2012 9:45 am ---- Yer it's a good starting block my mates got one in a 306 he's having camed ATM.

Looking good Paul, your right it will be a big jump in HP, i go from a 75bhp van to my 197 Clio, it's a nice jump in power
#97: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: jackspaniels, Location: gloucestershirePosted: Fri Aug 24, 2012 4:01 pm ---- people say the d9 engine has variable valve timing which accounts for the increase in power over the older d8 engine.
but i think it also has a variable length inlet manifold, it definitely has sequential injection and electronic throttle. and the d8 doesn't have any of that. but the d8 is easier (and cheaper) to find and fit.
you may be thinking now about future tuning . . . . but once you get to the redline in third gear, you will forget all of that
. . . . for a little while anyway
#98: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Fri Aug 24, 2012 4:24 pm ---- Haha! No more worrying about overtaking slow vehicles on country roads! used to hate doing that with the old sport engine :S
#99: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *engine is in* p6 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Fri Aug 24, 2012 4:26 pm ---- D8 engine is also non-plex my car wouldnt like that!

#101: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *wiring in* p7 Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 1:44 pm ---- Does the coke can add any bhp?? Haha

#103: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *wiring in* p7 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 3:24 pm ---- A bin bag full?! "don't need this, don't need that" aha

#104: Re: DeadEyePaul's Savage Red *wiring in* p7 Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 5:02 pm ---- Gary is installing/converting clutch to hydraulic tomorrow and it's going for a new exhaust fitting on Saturday (decat) then he will take it for a test drive to make sure it behaves. Im hoping Monday/tuesday

You could be referring to one of those hair-dryer-type attatchments
Its really good to see you have pulled it off after all that time you spent on it. I bet it will really shift. Get it down to Santa Pod.
Can't wait to see it understeer

General
its not until the high level brake light broke from being soo cheaply made i got a led crystal red led light (looks standard) but its 
again... looking back i gag and hurl in my mouth 
big improvement from when u 1st got it 
and it's too wet to investigate. I know what it is as it happened before. Wheel arch is fouling on steering arm and is flicking against something and pinging. Ordered 3mm spacers to resolve this problem and will look at cutting nice chunks out the arches
how long till its done now? what the v6 from?
