Latest on the China Cabby - Dum-Dum - 15-01-2012
So the latest is Ive got jonnys white SPs, a wind deflector, Lots of lovely blue hoses, a shiny blue catch tank and a shiny strut brace. The strut feels really flimsy fitted but has stiffened up the front end massively, sadly this has only lead to more understeer.
Coilovers and group N engine mounts are on order and i have a slim line fan sitting in the garage to give me space for a forced cold air feed along with a GTi6 manifold.
Gonna paint loads of the engine bay plastics blue to match the colour theme and im hunting for a silver dash and some crystals.

How much was the catch tank and where from?
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Foxy-jim - 15-01-2012
Nice! Looks good!
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - D@wson - 15-01-2012
Me love it!
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Midnightclub - 15-01-2012
Looks smart now bud, needa get it dropped though!
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Dum-Dum - 15-01-2012
Cheers guys, Itll be dropped very shortly. Just eyeing up brand new top mount parts from peugeot so i dont have to dismantle the standard shocks. Ive got nearly new heavy duty wishbones and droplinks in the boot waiting to go on when the rest of the suspension goes on.

That catch tank is gorgeous
I want!! Haha suppose I should make one soon lol
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Dum-Dum - 15-01-2012
Matt For what the catch tank cost I really couldnt be bothered with making one and it comes with all the brackets, clips, hose and bolts youd need.
Im really tempted by an oil cooler and power steering fluid cooler as the current PS cooler looks a bit vulnerable at the front of the lower cross member and its getting corroded.

Link?
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Dum-Dum - 15-01-2012
Link to what?
If you mean the power steering cooler ill just be using a standard oil cooler.
Latest on the China Cabby - Matt - 15-01-2012
Nah the catch tank
I want some shineyness in my engine bay haha
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Dum-Dum - 15-01-2012

Gonna organise a club dyno day for a few months time when ive got my GTi6 Exhaust manifold and de-cat on
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Foxy-jim - 15-01-2012
I would be up for seeing what mine was putting out before I put cams etc in!
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Ian - 15-01-2012
What are they supposed to be standard? I had a blue cabby too but buggered if I know what it's power was
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Dum-Dum - 15-01-2012
Theyer 135bhp and 132lb/ft Standard so im 4.2bhp up and 3lb/ft down on standard
Just looking at a graph of petes GTi6 from when it was standard (bar exhaust) and made 153.4bhp and about 135lb/ft so im only a tiny bit off that, they both make peak power at about 6200 too
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Foxy-jim - 15-01-2012
Guessing yours is the xsi then?

I've ordered one of the square ones. Should tuck away behind the battery box quite nicely.
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Foxy-jim - 15-01-2012
Thats not a bad result then! I thought it was a gti and was majorly down on power haha.
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Dum-Dum - 15-01-2012
Nope the 135bhp was the most powerful they ever put in the cabby.
I will have a more powerful engine in it one day when i can afford it. I do keep seeing cheap 406 V6s but really need to get converted to LPG before I do that
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Foxy-jim - 15-01-2012
Good man! SOunds like a nice project! Should have a new engine to rebuild in mine at the end of the year!
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Jacko - 15-01-2012
In regards to LPG, you going to be usuing a performance tank or just a general LPG tank? Or is there no difference because I know bugger all about LPG and don't plan too. Lol

Looks sweetas bud!! How much was the hose kit
Re: Latest on the China Cabby - Fozzy - 16-01-2012
At the garage i went to Yesterday to fit tyres, they had a ph1 hatchback with the v6 conversion, there wasn't much room around the bay, but it looked and sounded amazing. Hurry up and sort it out chris.
