now to the more pressing matter, as said before I'll be buying some uprated mounts. I've found the Vibra Tecnics/spoox mounts but are quite expensive but on the other hand, I found Jamie's suggestion of Baker mounts on the forum. But those are supposed to be for 205/309 so Can anybody tell me exactly what mounts do I need if I want to buy them from Baker? (and yes I know I'll need to buy the gearbox mount from Spoox.)
Also if I'll be buying stuff from Spoox, I was thinking of ordering an additional rear anti roll bar for a bit of added stiffness. I was looking at these two (the only two I can find):
Is the extra heavy duty acceptable for a daily driver or will it me too much (both of them are adjustable)?

#79: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (page 4 update) Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Mon Aug 16, 2010 6:56 am ---- A few more pics for this thread First of all a package of Motul motor oil from Germany. Including postage it was less then half the price I'd pay here
Tin can
Also received a gift
As said before I managed to break the top engine mount (we later found out that the lower one was torn as well) That lead to another upgrade so I bought the top and lower Baker engine mount and the vibra technics for the gearbox mount (hasn't arrived yet).
We also added an extra aluminum pad to strengthen the top mount as they are prone to breaking.
welds:)
Installed:
the new mounts:
Old top mount:
It all went according to plan until we figured out the lower mount was too narrow....5 milimeters to be exact So for anybody else that was going to buy Baker lower engine mount be aware IT DOESN'T FIT WITHOUT MODIFICATION!!!!!... But we aded another steel bush to the mount and fixed the problem...So I can almost say it's half solid
Old mount:
New one:
O bloody hell
This has really lowered the response time, it accelerates instantly and overall feels a lot more solid. You can fell quite a bit of vibration when starting cold but it settles down after a couple of seconds.
Also regarding my previous posts we've changed the ARB for the GTi180 ARB. 1mm difference but it feels like a light year.
Now I only need to fix the right suspension arm and it'll be as good as new (okay better)

Also what oes the gti 180 ARB look like? is it just like a torsion bar?
#81: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (page 6 update) Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 6:43 am ---- I bought the 205 Baker engine mounts because they're the same (top mounts that is). They don't have anything listed specifically for a 206
The ARB looks just like torsion bars, you just replace the old one with the new and that's it I can take a photo of it if you want? But there is a noticeable difference in the behavior of the car, it's much more planted now. BTW I think Edward wrote a How-to for the ARB if you'll change it as well

#85: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (page 6 update) Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 9:41 am ---- Things are finally starting to move along now
We had a road trip today, picking up a new engine so it can be modded slowly and still keep the car running everyday.
I got it at a very competitive price of 300€, it has done 200kkm (but that really isn't a problem as it's going to be rebuilt) and has spent the most of its life time in a Peugeot 607
So we checked the engine then loaded it into the car and went back home...Quite a pleasant 300km I must say
But there has been a bit of a change if anybody notices...
Almost back at the garage
Did you figure it out yet?
If you haven't here's a clue
Stay tuned

#87: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (page 6 update) Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 3:47 pm ---- Ew12 = 2.2-litre isn't it?
EDIT: The EW12 was introduced to replace the low-pressure turbo variant of the XU10. It has a bore of 86 mm and stroke of 96 mm, for a displacement of 2231 cc. Citroën only uses it on the C8 MPV, while Peugeot, which has more a sporty image, uses it in the 406 SRi, 407, the 607 executive model and 807 MPV.

It's going to be a nice winter project getting it up to the specs I have planned for it. And all progress will be photographed
