Needs to be lower :p

[kentiiboii]

This looks so set for a 106 nad. Good lad

[306GT30]

Looks good, needs coilovers though.... for the finishing touch

[Birk]

Needs smaller tyres and more lows to pull it off.

[Chris_90]

Thanks for the comments guys but its a daily car and if it i had a lower profile tyres and even lower suspension it would be un-drive able round here, tbh im gonna struggle as it is might not look low but ive only got about 3-4cm from the front pipe hiting the floor

Im happy how it sits, the ride quality aint bad at all to say how low it is, not sure what it will be like on the lenso's tho. All in all im happy with it, be better when vtr axle is fitted and its lower on the back.

P.s bought a vtr axle last night lowered 50mm just gotta get some bits so i can adjust brake lines and 2 new hand brake cables then should be ready to fit it :-D

Loving the thread mate! Good to see her coming along so well! Had an S1 XSi replica myself and it was the saddest day of my life the day i had to sell her ! Had full XSi exterior/interior but the giveaway was the 3 stud wheels! Handled better than a go kart!

Back end needs lowering a good 40mm though!

I may have missed a lot, but what engine work are you planning on doing?

im gonna look for a better interior eventually, but focusing on the out side. The rear axle i got is lowered 50mm apparently so see how it sits when that is on, hoping its bang on so save messing with having to lower it more. Engine work nothing tbh well not at the min any i would like to either turbo it or d turbo engine but weather it happens or not is a different matter lol i can dream tho

The red interior with the black bolsters are such a nice interior! Ahh, you'll have to upload some pictures of the car once it's lowered! You should try and modify and inlet manifold and exhaust manifold to stick a GT15 on it or something! XUD's will do in, just you have to give it quite a lot of work...

Looks really smart that mate!

Yer i been speaking to some with a turbo'ed 1.5d and they used a gt15. It dont look like a massive amount of work to do but its how the engine take the boost plus the fitting a 306 bosch pump so got the compsator on

Looks really smart that mate!

Thanks mate

Probably a similar set up to a XUD NAD tbh... Not sure if you can run a TMIC though as there isn't a lot of room under the bonnets on these... Run on standard boost and i bet these fly!

[Chris_90]

i would look at front mount if i was to boost it.... see how it goes tho as its just a dream to turbo it so if it happens i will be surprised

Any way bit of an update got the vtr axle ready to go on now, removed the brake compensator fitted new flexi's and got new hand brake cables so hopefully as long as the brake lines come off ok on the old axle should be pretty simple swap if not got brake pipe and connectors at the ready just in case.



Hoping to do the axle Sunday all being well.

Give the bleed nipples a got WD40 and wire brush there a bastard on the rears. Is it already lowered?

Have you got a front anti roll bar? My 1.0 didn't have one. I used the VTS front set up.

I got them free with out any wd40 was piss easy, pain with the brake lines tho ended up grinding one off, sorted now tho with the flexi's and yer lowered 50mm im told. No front anti roll bar but no need for it now with the lowering springs up front its amazing the difference its made in handling before used to use its wing mirrors as stabilizers in corners lol now its goes extremely well round corners, Thats before fitting rear axle and having a rear anti roll bar carnt wait to get it on the cornering will be epic

[306carter]

Well worth upgrading to VT/GTi quicksilver ect front suspension. I paid £100 for rear axle and front set up 5 years up so should be cheap. And it's a easy bolt off bolt on jobbie.

Making me miss my 106 man!

[Jonny b]

Loving the new look of this fella!!!!

I think if I had an anti roll bar it would just understeer like mad, don't think it's worth the hassle not like I'm gonna be going round any tracks just for day to day use its great as it is but thanks for the info

Loving the new look of this fella!!!!

Thanks mate

[ozonehostile]

i think it needs some color on the center caps, hence why i left the blue film on originally, they look too silver, needs a tiny bit of contrast imo

[puglove]

Coming together pretty quickly, is the VTR beam lowered?

Also couldn't find that pic if you hadn't guessed lol

I was thinking different colour centers not sure what would go with green tho, have to think about it once the wheels are on can get some one on here to do me some photoshops of it

Lol no worrys mate and yer told its lowered 50mm will see when I get it fitted how it sits hopeing it sits ok as don't really wanna be messing around trying to lower it more

[ginge191]

In love with this!! Such an awesome build! Focus on the visuals, then drop a lump in when you're ready.

[Piggy]

looks awesome...perfect profile n height
what lowering springs did you use?

I would have thought you wana keep the brake compensator otherwise you be locking up them rears under braking quite easily! 106 rear ends are silly light!

They were saxo vtr apex -50mm springs but pretty sure they dropped more than that like 60-70mm, And yer i am thinking about the rear end locking up but it just so much easier with out it in, plus the fact the axle is lowered what will be making the brake compensator think there is a load of weight in the back what will be applying more force to the rear anyway. If i do have issues with locking up i can always just put one back it wont be a massive job just means messing with the brake lines.

Thanks mate and hopeful something like that will happen eventually but time will tell, cos i can see me lowering rear and getting wheels on the be bored of it

[Seid']

155/55 looks better.

[Chris_90]

So fitted vtr axle today one of the brake lines rounded off so ended up cutting it caused nothing but trouble finaly got it sorted after spending my time watching you tube videos to work out how to flare brake pipes lol got there in the end brakes are amzing way better than they were before lost the sponginess of the peddle Few pics here any way




Parked on a slope and with load of tools in and old axle so lower than normal




On the level with all the crap out of boot lol



Just need to get 2 more tyres sorted then i can test fit the wheels

Comments welcome

[aggyj17]

Looks good mate seen this on fb earlier

[Piggy]
