#1: Lukesaunders91's GTI 180 Project (UPDATE: 04/05/12) Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:49 am ---- Hiii
As I’ve owned my new car for about 5/6 months now I thought I should put up a project thread :D, So here it is
Ill start of with the car I had before, It was a 307 1.4 that caused me a lot of headaches! So after the gearbox went then got that fixed a month after the cam belt snapped! only had 45k on it aswell, But as it was my first car I guess I could say I could have treated it kinder however lesson learned so now with my new car she is my pride and joy
Here’s my old 307, now in my local scrapyard!
So here it is 206 Gti 180! here’s a picture afew days after buying it.
Soon after I removed the silver alloys and fitted the gloss black ones it then looked like this.
After a couple of months I got bored of the standard exhaust and wanted something with abit more rawrrr! So after a lot of people recommending the janspeed exhaust on the 180 I went for it :), it then looked like this and in my opinion it is one of the best looking exhausts for the 206
Then I went into sensible mode, When I brought the car it had the common clutch judder so ended up taking it to Kyle (gti180boy) to fit a new clutch and check the car over for me.
New clutch….
He then found afew other bits gone on it for example the droplinks wishbone & top engine mount, heres what the engine mount looked like it was completely broken off
So after that the car was driving a lot nicer and smoother
But then I got the modding bug so more
I firstly removed the rear tints as I felt they just made the car look over chavy and made the car look weird, Also the same day my Heko wind deflectors arrived in the post so I also fitted them.
I then changed my badge from silver to gloss black to match my alloys ?
But then came the big mod……lowering :), I had been looking for a set of coilovers for awhile and along came these
Spax RSX Coilovers
Here afew pictures of them after they was fitted
I then made a trip down to the DVLA to get my private plate registered to my car and to tax my car ( £260 for 12 months tax )
Afew days later I received these in the post
Metal Pressed Plates
So I wasted no time and got straight on to fitting them
Soo off with the old…
And in with the new…
Got afew more bits planned for it but ill keep them quite for now
Let me know what you think guys
