WTF is a LAMBRA?
Do you mean lambda?
I suppose you are lucky that the back pressure blew something easy to replace rather than building up in the cylinders and causing engine problems.

It blew off the back & ive lost it .
Sound wise it had the middle section with silencer on & it was loud .The pops was not crispy it sounded real nice letting off the throttle, it also removed that deep vvt grunt you hear on the standard setup .
Ive since put the standard exhaust back on not through choice but i can say i like it better For the sweet notes (Not the weight).
When the Demon was on car it felt flat . No back pressure seemed to affect it . Still going quick as Just lost the low down rpm torque .(thats what it felt like ).
I also mixed normal fuel with v-power left garage booted it off into 4th 6000rpm let off to listen & it goes POP BANG BANG BANG POP POP very loud a car was flashing me coming towards me .
Thats when it blew 02 sensor out & stubby off the back ..im sure i was flaming out the back for awhile it was dark and the rear view lit up a few times . Also why was i being flashed quite rapidly until me passed me ?..i later put it all together on what happened .. boomb bang pow !

#16: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: JordHaze, Location: WarwickshirePosted: Thu Apr 09, 2015 7:02 am ---- Looking nice mate! Got to either go all black or throw a bright colour in there for a colour coded magnificent piece of car
#21: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:57 pm ---- Not a good idea to start the car with the accelerator floored
Need to re apply the silicone around the top & tidy it up.
Nice idea, poorly executed. Looks terrible sticking out to be honest.
Looks a bit shoddy
#23: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Tue Apr 21, 2015 9:21 am ---- Can't be that bad if he's making 200bhp!!!

#31: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Thu Apr 23, 2015 1:45 pm ---- It's so nice to hear 200bhp in action. Was expecting it to be a little more pop and bang though!

tell me about it .. It's not like the gti (( low rpm pops ))) it pops off like mad in 3rd/4th off the throttle at 4/7000 rpm ..
I've brought a hd camera to film so good stuff .
But I need to move house asap and I've had other issues to sort ..
I've decided not to sell my baby & when time ,dyno & videos !!!!
Pop bang !!! Living the dream lol .
Hopefully a track day event at some point . Waiting for My r888's
#33: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: Steve137, Location: BasingstokePosted: Fri Apr 24, 2015 8:03 am ---- Will pop and bang big time when hot mate trust me ! My 137 pops and bangs!
#34: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Fri Apr 24, 2015 9:16 am ---- The pops are not to clear on the video . Il try again
I will be gutted if it has less . I easy pull on a standard 180 as Mateys was before he stacked it .
I thought that the 180's where not actually 180bhp I am sure I read a lot of people had there 180's on the dyno and they only received around 163 -172bhp?

What have you done to it so far?
The only ones that are anywhere close to 180 are the ex-demo cars, I think.
Most of which don't excist anymore and if they do most owners are blissfully unaware. (Side note: is there a way to find out??)
I believe someone from here has one, I want to say danlouie does but I maybe wrong. Most UK spec 180's are 163-172 give or take a few bhp.
Second note: Project I bet your 180 doesn't even get anywhere near 200 with what you've done so far. Even a cammed up 180 barely scrapes 200 with decat, exhaust and induction kit / panel filter of your choice.
Take it to a reputable dyno not Joe Blogs from down the way who marks up to please customers. Last edited by Vexs on Tue Apr 28, 2015 8:46 pm; edited 1 time in total
#38: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: 206gt160, Location: BlackburnPosted: Tue Apr 28, 2015 4:49 pm ---- I would say that even the demo cars are not 180 or even relativley close to that, if they where then Peugeot would have a law suit on there hands. You can't just uprate demo models and say each car will be to this standard and then send out cars with 163bhp.. False advertising and possibly even fraudulent.
It doesn't state what he has done to his car just states what a 180 with such and such would receive.
#39: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Apr 28, 2015 8:57 pm ---- Personally I'm not sure if I believe it to be true or not, but I'm sure it wouldn't be the first case of dealers using better spec demo cars. Was always some suspicion in JDM cars being used in UK showrooms for test drives, still advertised the specs of UK models, just test drove the better spec JDM versions.
#40: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: 206gt160, Location: BlackburnPosted: Tue May 05, 2015 5:43 am ---- Project I noticed your car was up for sale while checking for parts through ebay.. have you gone off the 206 already
#41: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Sat May 23, 2015 6:07 am ---- Pop & Bang 206 180: youtu.be/OHzl2U8hwuU
#44: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Mon Jun 22, 2015 3:53 pm ---- Recon axle fitted straight though back on .
New rubber ..
No sway bars or rear seats
That sounds fooking great! How many people have you scared so far? :lol:[/quote

#48: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Sun Aug 02, 2015 11:51 am ---- This is the exhaust i have fitted if anyone wants 1 .
#49: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Sun Aug 02, 2015 11:55 am ---- Update new clutch (luk ) & new pads all round .
Need a new box and drivers side driveshaft as ive gearbox leak .
Is fine for now , been damaged before i brought it .
The housing the driveshaft sits in with the plastic mph spondooly on the diff is damaged .
Ive changed the seals but the taper edge the driveshaft sits in is badly damaged .
As if the drive shaft has been pulled up into the top right of the arch and ran . Strange as there is a fixing (guide) on the bottom of the engine mount & it looks fine . Driveshafts not bent but has marks from grinding the alloy housing away .
The box holds about 1/2 a litre of fluid ..;(

#54: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Mon Aug 10, 2015 5:03 am ---- Colour match! I was threatened by the police !
Stated it they would arrest me for careless driving if I parked half on the path a again.
Also stated they had photo's.
Basically someone didn't want me to park out side there house. I pay my road tax & i needed to park for work + it wasn alwsys in the same place. Only 2 week job aswell .
Jealousy !!
#55: Re: Projects 180Gti reincarnation Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Mon Aug 17, 2015 10:19 am ---- Serious bearing fail i think in 1st & 2nd. New gearbox ordered off eBay £140 81, 000 miles on it. More than the one on the car.
I suspect damages caused form an impact(previous owner) & has created play in the diff/box..
Going to stip it down tomorrow & get ready to install the new box . Hopefully its ok .
I do get a slight torque steer. I wonder if the play in diff/box has any control over the torque steer?
Only thing I've not replaced so far is the engine & Windows.
& a few bushes. .

As the fragments of alloy were pushed to the outside of the housing .creating a ruff lip. I'm thinking it's internal play causing the drive shaft to move.
