I haven't put barely any pictures up of my project or plans so far, as I know instead of it coming along slowly, it'll be ALL AT ONCE
Im going for the Euro smooth look, and should be there soon.
What's arrived so far
Remote door popper kit
Bonnet
Wings
Bumper
Brembos etc
Anyways, here is everything needed to get my brembo's on, (except the 20mm hubcentric spacers, which should be here Friday :D)
GTi 180 discs, drilled and grooved (going under my secret 15" wheels)
Brembo calipers
Uprated braided hoses
Master cylinder from the 406 coupe/Xantia V6/GTi-6
5.1 brake fluid
(standard pads for the moment) Im poor
Enjoy... (and yes that is FOUR BREMBO CALIPERS Got the second pair stupidly cheap, so I sold them to a friend

#9: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - brembo this time Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:21 pm ---- What size discs you go for? 283mm?
I tried this project, with 283 (gti 180) discs everything fits/lines up perfect, the only problem was spacers with my 17" vortex wheels.
I didn't want to change the wheels so quit the project
#10: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - brembo this time Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:51 pm ---- As matty states you need spacers to fit these or aftermarket wheels. What sized spacers did you find out you'd need matty?
#11: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - brembo this time Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:56 pm ---- I think i attempted 20mm spacers, lead to problem 2, peugeot do not sell wheel nuts that are long enough to account for this.
Definatly do a dry run before bleeding brakes etc like i did lol
#12: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - brembo this time Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:57 pm ---- Oh that's heafty spacers It wouldn't handle all that well i'd have thought? They'd stick out a mile from the arches too i'd have thought which is illegal too...
#13: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - brembo this time Author: Mike, Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:59 pm ---- Looks good. As said 20mm spacers are what's needed, which I think is what he's bought, along with longer bolts! They look sweet! Maybe one day..
#14: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - brembo this time Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:59 pm ---- I know, the 406 have very wide wheels, i feel with the right aftermarket alloys all should be fine.
#15: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - brembo this time Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 6:02 pm ---- 20mm spacing isnt that much at all and won't affect handling, especially if they are hubcentric, big wide stance... more grip theoretically lol
#16: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - brembo this time Author: Mike, Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 6:02 pm ---- I'd personally just use longer wheel bolts
#17: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - brembo this time Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 6:08 pm ---- Can you find OEM 20mm longer pug ones that have the floating washers? I found some random ones but as i tightened them they were pulling through the holes.

Brakes have been on for a week, but due to me breaking the bleed nipple on the rear caliper, I cannot bleed the system 100%, so i STILL haven't felt the power of these bad boys
Going to my local scrap yard tomorrow, to purchase a nice old caliper for 25 english pounds. So should give you an update on the weekend with regards to how powerful the brakes are

My wheels have arrived Only problem being now is that the rear tyres won't go onto the rim, too much of a tyre stretch at the moment :l
Ill try the old, bike inner tube trick to try and get the tyre on.
Archs are being rolled on Saturday at midday!!
Then the car will be sprayed the following Saturday, and ITS DONE :D:D:D

I haven't put any PSI in, there's not even a valve fitted yet.
The rear wheels are an inch wider that the fronts. Currently only the front tyres are on. Ruffy come and help me fit these god damn tyres, I don't know how to do it And I'm scared about the sudden bang. (I've been watching videos on youtue)

Excellent, if you could that'd be great.
If you have a look at the youtube video I posted, you can't just wack air into it, as the tyre sits completely loosely. I'll give the "fire trick" a try
How much am I looking at for a garage to fit a new valve for 2 new wheels? £5 each at a guess I'm hoping?
(As you can see, the tyre is "on" the rim, but sitting loose, as its obviously too small. Hense once fitted, it shall be stretched
#56: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - UPDATED 05/05/2010 Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Wed May 05, 2010 9:54 am ---- ill fit 2 new valves for a £5 could knock that off them archs when you find them for me.
and i see what you mean but i would try air first all tyres sit loose when on but not as loose as urs. by all means try the fire trick but im not lol

google bead seal u will defineatly need one to hold the tyre on
it basically means when u stretch it and it catches on the two embossed lines on the inside of the wheel it will hold it better and not leak air . but the bead seals can go easily if u put stretch on your front tyres

You may get lucky but i didnt. I used style dynamix because they have a good amount of experience stretching tyres and will at least attempt most things.
Not exactly local to you, but they wernt to me either. They had my tyres fitted without any problems.

I think in halfords you can buy rear fog lights, for imported jap cars etc, i'll buy one of those bad boys. £10 max
Can't you just whack a fog bulb in one the of the reverse holders and wire it up from there?

Gonna have to accept the old fines, and try talk my way out of them etc.

Although, Im sure I saw on eBay once, just a 501 type bulb, that you stick onto your number plate, its got a tiny battery inside that last ages or something.

Common fault on 206 with the doors not lining up 100%. Just needs the hinges adjusted slightly. I'll have front banded wheels soon

I know the coincidences of everything that I’ve done bodywork wise. And I’ll be the one accepting responsibility. I’m not have ago at you in anyway, but this place is always extremely quick is blabber crap about police this police that.
I’ve had these French plates for more than a year.
I’ve had no front number plate for 7 months
I’ve been pulled over twice, which both times were regarding speeding.
And the police officers just mentioned,
POLICE: “why don’t you have a front number plate? These plates are not legal by the way!”
ME: “The number plate literally came off today, I’ve just bought some number plate sticky things from Halfords see, *show police man packet of number plate sticky thingy”
POLICE: Well you’re going to have to get these changed to normal plates, and get the front number plate on ASAP”
ME: “Yeah of course, that’s no problem” Last edited by EuroPeugeot on Tue Jun 15, 2010 4:19 am; edited 1 time in total

Lol... it's easy to put bits on and take them off again for an MOT. Temporary popper for the door, temporary rear light stuck by the plate.
Think you're going a bit overboard there tbh.

as you cna probably tell i like modified cars but i also like them to be road legal all of the time

#104: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - COMPLETED 14/06/2010 Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 8:08 am ---- This is the part of the MOT for the doors....
MOT reason for rejection
A driver’s or front passenger’s door cannot be opened from both inside and outside the vehicle from the relevant control in each case
#105: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - COMPLETED 14/06/2010 Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 8:29 am ---- Relevant control being a handle or a popper?
#106: Re: EuroPeugeot's WIP - COMPLETED 14/06/2010 Author: 206T16, Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 8:34 am ---- The best thing about a well executed Euro car is the attention to detail and how they get round certain problems i.e foglight into rear lights. But on this car I feel its lacking a few things for example you’ve still got the exhaust cut out, still got the front and rear towing hooks, haven’t bothered to relocated the foglight, have just stuck the numberplate on instead of actually building it into the existing bumper where maybe the foglight used to be and your stretched rear arches don’t match up with your rear bumper. Its all these things that let the car down.
You keeping mentioning that you’ll just pay the fines if your stopped but would it not be alot more sensible to spend the money you’d actually waste on fines to get the work done to make sure you don’t get stopped for anything illegal on the car?

Hi mate, not too sure JUST the boot smoothing to be honest. But all in, it was nice and cheap as the guy who did it, was a friend from school about 3 years ago
To be honest I'm thinking about setting a little business thing with him

The car is not 100% done yet. As said, I'll be improving the odd little things.

Thanks anyway

It wouldn't handle all that well i'd have thought? They'd stick out a mile from the arches too i'd have thought which is illegal too...
