I also ordered torsion bars from Peugeot Sport, but 21mm, because it is my everyday car, and I hope that they will fit well with H&R springs.
@ZiAn- You drive Time Attack in Krško?
Yup, but not as often as I'd like to in the last year or two Come join us next year, there's already a couple of guys from Croatia driving in the TA series
@LiamGTR, thanks

#141: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 11:30 am ---- @Schumi, yup the engine is almost complete I'll be ordering the cams, springs and retainers next week and after that we can put it all together
But I wouldn't be me, if I wouldn't be buying things for the car Even though I don't really need them xD
first off two sets of torsion bars 21 & 25mm:
Those things weight a ton!
And I also managed to find something I've been searching for quite a while now
Just got to love them, they're huge

#144: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: PezHdi, Location: ShrewsburyPosted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 6:23 pm ---- Loved reading this thread :] Looking foward to more updates :] White 206's are the dogs
#145: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:58 am ---- @Schumi, I got them from Peugeot Sport as they had a huge sale last november and were dirt cheap
@Spike, nope not yet, as I just took them off a wrecked 607. But I don't drive the car that much latley (9000km/year), so we'll see how annoying they'll get
@Pez, thanks, hopefully it will be updated a bit more regulary now
#146: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: Slowride, Location: Netherlands/near RotterdamPosted: Fri Feb 15, 2013 6:37 am ---- What a tread! Did you also use the GIT180/RC uprated catcams 804's? Those calipers are so nice, is this a C2 rally setup? And where did you get the needed brackets from?
#147: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sat Feb 16, 2013 7:10 am ---- Nope, we're going to use 805's, but they do require more work and definitely a standalone ECU. The Brembo calipers are off a Peugeot 607 3.0v6 and the bracket are home made but if you can get your hands on a peugeot 406 coupe Brembo (off a 2.2 hdi or 3.0 v6) then it's a perfect fit
#148: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 10:38 am ---- So in the past week we've changed the torsion bars for the 21mm Peugeot Sport bars and the ride difference is unbelivable. This is one of the most under-done mods around and it's so worth it. The car feels more balanced and doesn't squeek over potholes and bumps, not to mention the cornering characteristics have improved significantly. The turn in feels alot more neutral almost a bit tail happy, where before it was quite understeerish. Even though I believe it could still benefit from the 23mm bars.
I also did some research on the calipers and we'll need to fabricate a backplate for the pads as they require 32mm discs and the thickest option are 28mm... That's about it for now

#150: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Mon Apr 08, 2013 2:45 am ---- @heyziq, yes it's been quite a while now, but that's due to some other things taking priority before the project. So now I'm taking it one step at a time, but do hope to have it finished till the end of summer... hopefully
