S1 106 rallye. Restoration time!

[ozonehostile]

Surely that filter on the vacuume line would make the brakes not work right?

That's why I'm really confused by it. Can't think of any logical reason for it to be there Tbh

[Chris_90]

Do the brakes work ok?....... We'll guessing they do if it's just gone though mot it is strange just take it off and block it off to be safe I think

[ozonehostile]

Yeah the brakes work ok, nothing spectacular though. Il try it without the breather when I fit the braided lines and 266mm brakes

Looks like an Ecotek CB-26P

Here is the trouble maker!

Proper job, loving your work there zak

Exactly mate! no point in pussy footing around , go hard or go home

[devils_fuel]

God that clutch is fecked mate, never seen one that bad !!!

FairPlay for cracking on with it and not hanging about

The new clutch is only a 180mm so I expect it will probably happen again soon. Next time il be replacing with a paddle clutch and a 1.6 flywheel

[Dum-Dum]

I think that breather is a case of stupidity of the previous owner

[samass]

Struggling to understand how that ecotech thing is meant to work...

[Piggy]

is the idea that it holds the pressure and allows then then the engine to pull vacuum from atmosphere once brake servo up to pressure...stops it becoming a restriction?

[ozonehostile]

Yeah I'm pretty confused about how it works too :-\

[Piggy]

sack it off and sell it on bummersOC for lots of boost funds

I may have been offered a 300bhp dyno proven 106 turbo for a ridiculously low price today

[Piggy]

just engine or whole thing?

whole car

[Piggy]

oooooooooo

Do it...

once all the running gear is sorted, are you going to track prep it?

[ozonehostile]

Yes :-) already been getting quotes on having a cage welded in

[Piggy]

good lad. you know it makes sense. 150kg ish maybe a lot...but so worth it...esp if you end up with 300bhp!

Hi, I saw your thread on your sedan, looks like you're not having much luck lately!
Out of interest, what sort of money are you being quoted on the cage welding? Is it a pre-fab job with weld in mounts and the cage bolts in or a fully welded jobby?
I soooooooo need a decent MIG. I've done a couple in the past but no-where to do any work under cover at the mo.

[Piggy]

A proper cage wouldnt be migged!

It would be TIG, so much stronger and doesnt warp the cage/car so much when being put in due to difference in heat

I did ask if it was a weld in cage with mounts :p No problem migging one of them.

You can weld pretty much anything you want with a MIG anyway if you know what you're doing and balance the welding. If the welds aren't too hot and penetration isn't a problem why should it be weaker?
I've welded ALL sorts of frames with a MIG and warping's never been a problem.

[Piggy]

I wouldnt want my cage welded in with a mig. no thanks

Have you given up on the truck tub?

[ozonehostile]

Have you given up on the truck tub?

Nope, it's been moved to its new garage this month and il finally finish it. Just got a brake line to replace and put seats in pretty much. Few electric bits to sort too but nearly there

Its about time you finished it! Mines going on the road on the 1st

how easy are these cars to turbo? as the engine bay on these are like metros, every small.
