#46: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (page 3=extremly pic heavy) Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 4:52 pm ---- So over the weekend we've installed the new manifold. Had quite a bit of trouble fitting the new one in but in the end everything worked out well...
As for the gaisn, it might just be a placebo effect but I think the car accelerates a lot easier. It got a bit louder but has a nice sound. Especially when you let go of the throttle If anybody is interested in the measurements, it's 61mmthick and the hole is 57mm wide (2mm walls) the outer part of entrance to the cat is 52mm wide, so a bit of welding and adjusting was necessary but it's a good foundation for future upgrades regarding the exhaust system.
The original manifold a.k.a. the pretzel
Old vs. new:
Push it in, push it in
Jeaka doing his thing..
another angle:
Well this is it for now, more updates coming up in the next few months
#47: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (page 4 update) Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Mon Mar 22, 2010 8:28 am ---- New tires are home In the end I've opted for the Bridgestone Potenza Re050A, I don't think I'll regret it.
I just need to get the wheels back from the powdercoating and let the summer tire season begin.
#48: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (page 4 update) Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Thu Apr 01, 2010 6:44 am ---- And the wheels are back I just need to get the center caps colored as they're plastic and couldn't be powder coated. I'm also getting some spacers for the back wheels so that they will be spot on with the arches
So this is how they look now (they look a bit bright because of the flash, photo nr.3 shows the most realistic color):
I think they'll look nice Any comments?

#52: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (page 4 update) Author: plan_D, Location: Alderley Edge, CheshirePosted: Fri Apr 02, 2010 10:52 pm ---- That's a very nice car. Wheels look gorgeous.
Those manifolds are a ball ache aren't they? I had life a bit easier because the entire system was changed at once, manifold, cat and cat-back.
#53: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (page 4 update) Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sat Apr 03, 2010 1:52 pm ---- Thanks, yes that manifold did make my mechanics swear quite hard But when finished its so much more pleasing than it would have been if it was easy to fit I'm going for a catback this month, I'll probably take the Janspeed GTi180 one so I know we'll have a lot of fun modifying everything so that it fits (again)
