Can go on my bulk head where my header tank is at the minute once I get myself a new header. ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Just found a 106 diesel header tank I might stick on for tge time being if it fits just to get rid of the 205 one what will make room for the 106 EPAS pump on the bulk head. Also just bought some flexi ducting pipe so I can run an air feed from the throttle body up behind the grill. Not too keen it it being right down next to the floor________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

The big pipe from the bottom of the expansion tank goes into the middle of the radiator for the feed and the little pipe from the top of the expansion tank goes into the top of the radiator for the return. I will get you some pics when I get a chance________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Been down to see Jim again today to discuss fitting me a EPAS pump and he turned around and said why not fit a full adjustable electric PAS column from a corsa. Hmm how much is this going to be? £200 supplied and fitted. Costa B rack modified to my car supplied with ecu and adjuster knob. He gave me a go of the one fitted to Paul Swifts mk2 escort rally car and it does feel very nice but do I really want to spend £200 on something I will probably never adjust Then came along David Cox for some work off Jim and has a snoop around my car. Seemed to be quite impressed then asked if I wanted to have a look at his ex BTCC race car. Awesome I will let you decide for yourself.   ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

£200 supplied and fitted for the corsa setup is a very good price  ________________________________________ 306 2.1 S16 Tarmac Rally CarProject thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=143956 |

Well since I am staying home this weekend I thought I would get a few things done on the car today. Finished night shift at 7am so had all day to mess about. 1st off was to fit the 106 diesel header tank. Went on heayer than I was expecting. Moved the PAS tank out the way and the header pretty much slid straight into place. There is a bolt through the chassis leg what I cut off, drilled 2 mounting holes for the header to be fixed to then had to cut a little but of the top mount bridge thing so I had room for the return pipe to go. Then shortened the pipes so now I have less pipes cluttering the engine bay  removed the 205 header from the bulk head and that was that job done.Next job. I didnt like the Omex sitting on top of the gearbox mount so moved it behind the passenger headlight. Still wanting to buy a box to put it in but I will buy one of them at a later date. Taped most of my loom up too to help tidy the bay up. finally my cold air feed turned up today. Stupid me ordered 76mm what is the same size as the throttle body, should have went for maybe 80mm as the 76mm wont fit over the TB luckily I had a silicone reducer what was perfect fit onto the TB and perfect fit so sit inside the air feed. Quite happy with the bit progress so thought I would treat the car to a bath. Off now to hopefully collect my sand blasted rocker covers and engine hoist brackets, then off to pick up a 106 electric PAS pump free of charge  wish everything was free!         ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Been a long day today. Got bored earlier so decided to chop up the spare rear bumper I have off the black 6 I stripped.   Then came across this nice little find in an abandoned garage outside Jakes. Door had no locks on and rusty screws keeping it shut so thought we would take a look!

Suppose I will add a little update. Friday I sorted my electric power steering out so now that works. Had to have a new bit of pipe made up. Not much else been happening, had a drive over the pennines for a few photos. Oh and bought a sparco circuit bucket seat...       ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |
