#1: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Digger115, Location: HampshirePosted: Sat Jan 24, 2015 10:30 am ---- My new project. '52 GTi with 62k on the clock. Air filter done, getting an oil service this week. Also removed the spare wheel and bracket from under the rear to reduce weight and got rid of a slight squeaky noise! Exhaust system is next...

Get a 90 degree bend on it and have it actually soaking up the colder air from inside the box. You're only losing power with the way it is now, in fact the only thing your gain from that is induction noise even when seated correctly.

#5: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Digger115, Location: HampshirePosted: Sat Jan 24, 2015 3:39 pm ---- Cheers for the advice Vexs...have seen the 90 degree pipe so that could well be a job soon. Is it easy to take out the rest of the air box from the engine?
With regards to exhaust systems, any advice? I have had a look at the Sportex kits and they look well priced?? Going for the full system rather than just a back box.....
#6: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Digger115, Location: HampshirePosted: Tue Jan 27, 2015 12:28 pm ---- My OEM exhaust with the Ripspeed air filter. In the garage for a service this week...
#7: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Digger115, Location: HampshirePosted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 12:48 am ---- Work I have done so far:
Changed front seat belts (still OEM)
Oil change and new filter
Bosch spark plugs
New rear brake pads
Both wing mirrors changed (still OEM) as both had cracks in the bottom
Few minor bits cleaned up
Sportex race pipe and back box ordered...gets fitted in the next week.
Car has done 63k miles and not sure when the cam belt was last changed....should I get it changed just to be safe??
#8: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 1:24 am ---- I would recommend getting the cambelt done. I believe the Peugeot recommended service interval is 80k or 10 years old for the cambelt (whatever comes first) but many advise having done around the 60k mark.
Entirely up to you really but a costly mistake if it does go now. If you have no history of it being done then get it done, especially as you are in the process of fixing her up, would be shame to see your hard work go to waste
Other than that it's coming along nicely mate.
#9: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Digger115, Location: HampshirePosted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 8:47 am ---- Cheers Vexs. My mate runs a garage so I'll get him to do the cam belt while he is also putting on the new exhaust...heard real horror stories about cam belts breaking etc!
#10: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Digger115, Location: HampshirePosted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 4:06 pm ---- Vexs, quick question. You said in an earlier thread above to get a 90 degree bend on the air filter to get it soaking up cold air from the box...do you know where I can get one for without buying a whole new induction kit? Any help much appreciated!! Cheers...

If not just search on eBay for 90 degree bends with the correct diameter you need. Ideal if its a think rubber as you can get a nice air tight fit using jubilee clips :
Or if you want fancy pipework then Samco or Forge do some decent stuff, at a price of course.

#21: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: ECB93, Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2015 4:29 pm ---- I bought some originals for £25 so seems a decent price and sold my old Lexus ones for £23. Looks loads better with standard lights in my opinion.

As long as they're the phase 2 lights then go for it, will look 10x better if you ask me.
#23: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Digger115, Location: HampshirePosted: Sat Mar 07, 2015 2:16 am ---- Vexs...they are standard OEM lights off a 51 plate...would that make them phase 2 lights?

The phase 2's are the clear lensed ones using H7's known as crystals, where as the phase 1's are the frosted lensed using H4's.

#30: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Jun 08, 2015 5:01 pm ---- Yes they do and the project looks to be coming along well!
#31: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Digger115, Location: HampshirePosted: Tue Jun 09, 2015 12:53 am ---- Thanks Addaz. I'll put some more pictures up soon. It's been great fun working on the car...nothing major as at this stage I am keeping it as original as possible with a couple of slight mods like the sportex exhaust (oval shape tail so similar to original) and now changing the wheels to 180 wheels....just need to get hold of 2 more wheels!! The rest of the work has been upkeep and maintenance.....well worth it as the car runs superb!!

#36: Re: My 206 GTi (138) project.. Author: Digger115, Location: HampshirePosted: Thu Aug 06, 2015 12:51 pm ---- Hi All
Due to a change in circumstances, I am looking to sell my 206 GTi (140). This has been my pride and joy over the last 6 months since I had it and is a great car which runs superbly and it’s never caused me any running problems. There is no electrical problems either with this car. It’s a ’52 plate and just over 64,200 miles on the clock. I have had the car since January this year (added just over 2200 miles) and have done the following –
Oil change and new filter (Mobil 0W40 oil)
New Bosch Spark plugs
New front and rear brake pads
K&N panel air filter (I also have the original)
Sportex race tube and oval back box fitted (original had rusted away)
Cam Belt changed in February
New right side engine mount
Phase 2 rear lights
Xenon front light bulbs
Rear mud flaps with blue Peugeot badge
New windscreen wipers front and rear
It’s been run on Shell V-Power/Esso Supreme fuel since January
MOT till November 2015 (can check at www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk)
The Sportex exhaust, cam belt and engine mount was fitted by my local garage (Elkins Motors, Stubbington) and the rest was myself as a project. The brake pads have also been checked by the garage for fitting! I have driven the car on the motor way once or twice a week to keep her running and she is a great runner. There is loads of tread left in the tyres. Please note that there are a couple of scratches on the car that I inherited and have tried to fix myself while I have had the car and I have included this in the price. The car is a cat D but has been repaired (before I had it) and all clear on vehicle and insurance check. Car is based in Hampshire on south coast (near portsmouth.)
