#32: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 4:53 am ---- I will be jealous. Very beautiful.
Looking good.... how long do think the build will take?
Im not really sure how long it is going to take to finish it off. I dont think it will take too long to do all the standard parts but fitting the ecu and electrics may be a wee bit more complicated. I am hoping to have it done before the year is out though.

But anything would be a help, many thanks, pm and email them if you like instead of hosting here, whatever is easier for you.

#36: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 6:16 pm ---- What's the lever for? Hydraulic handbrake?

#38: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 6:33 pm ---- Yeh Jamie it is the hydraulic handbrake. I need to keep the standard one to comply with the road traffic act sadly. Unless i can get it tp look like the hydraulic one pulls the cables
#39: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 6:49 pm ---- Yeah you need a machanical handbrake for MoT or RTA like you said!
How's the progress regarding the engine coming along?
#40: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 7:02 pm ---- Just got the sump to put back on and then i can put it in place. I will need to order uprated mounts before that.
I will call emerald tomorrow as well and remind them they owe me a discount off my ecu so will get that ordered up as well soonish i hope.
Do you know when yours is going in to be done yet?
#41: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 7:09 pm ---- Where are you getting your mounts from?
What are you doing regarding cooling too? What rad do you intend on using?
Mine should have been going up this week but haven't had a response from Sandy for a while...
#42: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 7:11 pm ---- Also have you managed to source any kind of baffle for the sump?
#43: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 7:31 pm ---- I will use a mix of the Baker and Vibra techcnix ones i think. That seems to be the cheapest option anyway.
Ooh i havent thought about the radiator yet what are you fitting?
The only baffled sump that i have found was on the Peugeot Sport France website but i dont think it was very cheap tbh. I was considering fitting one but i havent had a problem really with oil surge before on events. May be a good idea if you are doing a lot of fast track stuff though?
#44: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: spud_owen, Location: ashby de la zouchPosted: Wed Jul 21, 2010 7:00 am ---- cheeers for them them mate, got a couple of questions if thats ok? does your sump guard cover the entire underside of the engine bay, ie does it extend to cover the gearbox as well? the one i have been given will cover the sump and I can make some side plates up for it how much further do i need to go? also is that a metal strap you have around the rear beam to stop the tank guards from 'flapping'? last one is a query aboutt he hydralic hand brake, my car has one fitted but it is in the postion of the standerd handbrake and it also has a locking falicity which enables it to act as a normal handbrake, to your understanding to I need another mechanical lickage as well?? again many thanks much appericated.

Apparently a good one for bodies is a Toyota Corolla one as it is shorter than the standard unit. I think a baffled sump is a good idea, ie prevention > cure!
I have a mix of the Baker/Vibratechnics items and you only need the gearbox mount from VT, however the Baker engine mount (called RHS mount iirc) will require some of the thread being taken off as it is too long as standard!
