Hey Mabz, great project and awesome 6 you have there, definitely one of the nicest on the forum. Quick question thou, did you took the rear parts of the recliners of for the wrapping?? I have the same seats in my six just in black and without the holes for the harnesses. Is it complicated to take them off?? As mine look shit and i would fancy respraying or wrapping them.Thanks in advance and keep us posted :tumbsup |

Well after Friday I would recommend it for a track car no doubt, but I will say that the camber can play havoc if u use the car regular as a road car. Mines great until u get in the old wagon grooves on the motorway, then it just pulls u all over the road lol. Urs was lookin real well mabz I'm just peeved I never got to grab u for some pax laps in it.... Next time maybe!? Have a word with Martin for the camber (crf450 is his username) he's a real nice bloke and really knowledgeable, he'll sort u out no worries! :-) ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

whoop, fitted the hybrid ARB today.  The difference is night and day. Wish i had fit it before oulton park as the back end feels alot more planted even at low speed. Thanks for the tips lee, top man Managed to get a rare KD strut brace on today as im back on std front top mounts. Forgot how well that helps change in direction. Coming soon... Custom rear shocks and front springs.. ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

A stiffer rear end means more understeer, but its all about balancing the rear to the fronts. At the mo coilovets and roller vushes means the front ends pretty tight. Will be sourcing some shocks for the rear as the rebound is way too soft on the kws. ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

right... got some 16" TD 1.2's being made out of fresh alloy as we speak... Direct Centre Bore and custom offset... would i be shot if they were being painted gold?track orientated tyres, am thinking YOKO AD08's, A048's, or Toyo R888's? Got a fresh strut brace on front and a lower phillipm special in the post.. rear end will be getting some custom GAZ shocks as the KW ones are way to soft  Oh and i should be getting DAVEYBOY to weld in a rear harness bar as a off the shelf cage wont fit with the seats in. So another call to phillip should be in order for a custom cage! ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

Do you still want a harness bar if you are going for a full cage then? Seems a bit of a waste if you are fitting a proper cage in the not too distant future.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I think they would look good painted gold to be honest. Why the custom make?Would i be really rude if i asked for a passenger ride come the next meet. In my mind i want a low boost conversion. In reality i have never been in one so dont know?  ________________________________________ owain wrote: A GTI-6 with a good dashboard and the seats down can outsprint an E46 M3 in July. |

well, after oulton i started to get a vibration at high rpm... and a click off throttle which lead me to believe the upper engine mount cradle was cracked...but driving it this week it got worse and the engine seemed to drop a little.. mount off to find the culprit  the remaining stud!  I'm guessing this will be a hammer and chisel job.. does the new mounts come with the washer/spacer too? ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

The new mount will be just that. There is a captive nut underneath the cradle the mount screws into. Usually the chassis cracks with the captive nut still attached. Check out daveyboy's engine/ mount/chassis repair thread. ________________________________________ Standard Black 6Black HBSC6  |

In my honest opinion the spacer washer is one of the primary causes of failure as the edge of it forms a stress raiser and mort of the cracks seem to propegate from the area directly under the edge of the washer.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

A little update, thanks to puglikcer i received my new gauge pods, i had similar ones fitted last year before i moved it into the benign passenger airbag.well heres the gauges in for a test fit..  scrub and primed the rest of the console..  and sprayed in the best colour known to any 6 owner!  ASTOR and finally fitted... looks well neat..   Glovebox and passenger airbag will be blanked with some carbon! ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

Fitted a BAKER BM upper mount with buffers.. removed the washer. A very good upgrade and theres minimal vibration.Looks like the weld job will have to wait daveyboy.got the beast to a weigh bridge today.. 1100kg with half a tank.. Got a feeling its slightly less than that though That equates to 255 bhp/tonne.
