The wiring is the fun part, if you need any pin positions for re-wiring it let me know as mine is fully running now with my homemade loom.

#78: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Wed Nov 24, 2010 2:12 am ---- Yeah BSI is a pain in the tits tbh. It does things like hazards, indicators, wipers. I think in a rally car you are best ditching the original loom as there is so much crap in there you don't need. Once it's out it isn't to hard making a new loom, if you work through it in stages and do a circuit at a time it's less daunting.
#79: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Wed Nov 24, 2010 5:11 am ---- Yes that is what the plan is.
I was going to trace the original wires from lights etc and where they go into the BSI etc then trace where they go from there. Then I will modify so that they don't go through the BSI.
Is this a good idea or did you just start from scratch? How did you find what the wires from the stalk controls for the light/ indicators did?
Could you possibly send me what you ordered from the electrical suppliers as I presume that I will be ordering something similar?
Cheers

I started from scratch.... it was easier than I thought and you can lose all the earth points that the french use and run in a common chassis earth. You are right to seperate the cabin loom and find the rear light wiring... you will junk a big heap of useless wiring that way.

Its better wiring from scratch. And I think you have to go preplexed stalks.

#84: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 3:06 pm ---- I have the same problem... I just put in a dash switch and the co-driver has to get the timing right.... but if you find a way let me know mate
#85: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Sat Jan 01, 2011 6:52 pm ---- Quick update. I intended to post these a while back as the car has moved on again since these pics.
Seat mount positions finally sorted and drilled. Kevlar tank guard fitted. Proflex suspension fitted all round. Lexan windows installed. Brake lines in. Engine timing belt changed.
Got the gearbox back with the quaife gearkit fitted, new 4.9 cwp and tranx diff. Now installed on the engine with helix paddle clutch
Still working on the wiring loom which is a pain in the a$$ i hate electrics.
Waiting for the Throttle bodies to arrive now and then i can start on the engine loom with the emerald ecu system which arrived just before xmas. Thank you santa

mind me asking a price for the Gearbox setup your running
#87: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Sat Jan 01, 2011 7:37 pm ---- I got the gear bits with the car but i think the gearkit is 1600 then its about 650 for the tran x diff, The lad that built it all up for me said its a cracking kit so we will see when it goes how good it really is
#88: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 5:33 am ---- Can you do me a massive favour.... post a picture of your poly tailgate window..... I am going to have to fit one.... not happy with mine after the spoiler issue.... cheers mate
#89: Re: 206 GTI 180 Rally car project Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 9:38 am ---- I havent done the tailgate mate as you need to thermofom the shape of the glass in order to fit it. I just used the standard glass tailgate with the film
