Sigma 96 phase 1 306 gti 6

[SKoob]

how did you find that updated front polybush?
fitted a dream on mine. 100 times better!

how did you get the rear bump stops to fit? Mine seem oversized by quite a few mm!

Front fitted like a dream, slid in no messing bump stops I used liberal amounts of copper slip and a screwdriver and eventually they went in. Felt quite sick seeing the break pipe tbh knowing I'd driven it

[Piggy]

yeah I know that feeling. But at least you got it sorted before it went pop!!!

glad about the bushes...nice to see people reaping benefits of all the emails!

[puglove]

Yeah thats what i ment F off lol

[SKoob]

well...no, SHOULD NOT...not should!!!

..good chance to go braided, theres some in for sale section came up today I think.

Got braided hoses already mate. Just taking them off the d turbo

[Piggy]

[SKoob]

Well today didn't got to plan The rad I got needs the phase 2 type bottom hose to fit so have had to order that so more ££££ and in changing the thermostat I managed to break the plastic housing Anyone know if these are available from pug or happen to have a spare?

On the plus side I got the other wishbone on and the other front braided hose on. Just the rears to do then can bleed the brakes

[Piggy]

I'll have a look...not sure I do.

they do get brittle. shame that

[SKoob]

Yeah seems a bit of a piss poor design tbh. Needed to remove the hose to get to 1 bolt and in removing the hose it disintegrated grrrrrr. Means I'll be cycling to work Tuesday lol

[puglove]

Iv got a ph2 bottom hose if you want it £10

[SKoob]

Iv got a ph2 bottom hose if you want it £10

Oooh awesome you about tomorrow? Don't suppose you got the plastic thermostat housing too?

[puglove]

yeah im home most of the day tomorrow, havnt got the stat housing im afraid

[SKoob]

Went to puglove's to get the hose only to find it was the wrong type ahh well, was good to have a quick chat and see his 3 pugs got home and finished the brake hoses and bled the brakes. I bloody hate doing anything that involves brake fluid its horrible stuff







Hopefully the correct hose will arrive from ecp tomorrow and I'm popping to pug to order the thermostat housing at lunch, all being well she'll be sorted Wednesday

[Piggy]

I got a thermostat housing, but it has a connection for the top large rad pipe but also a connection for a smaller pipe.
I also have two bottom hoses, one with plastic clip and one with metal..if that helps at all?

[SKoob]

Its the metal ended hose I needed, all ordered already though. Bugger sounds like a different stat housing to what I need unfortunately

[SKoob]

Thinking of lowering this very soon, any ideas on how much at the rear? My d turbo was about 30/35mm but was a bit to much gap for me, fronts were about 3 threads left on ta tecnix coilovers so will be what the front is down by

[Piggy]

45mm is ideal i think. thats what i am hoping come sunday on mine. anymore and it just looks like you have been to tesco

[procta]

I love Phase1 306s! I think they look the part in sliver or black, with compomotive alloys on in black or a dark grey.

[SKoob]

Parts ordered from Pug, should be here tomorrow morning hopefully bottom hose will be delivered while I'm at work today, will all be sorted Wednesday afternoon all being well. Will hopefully lower this at the weekend all being well

[puglove]

dont put TAs on this


and you need to be tucking a bit of tyre on 50's on the rear

---

& dont listen to piggy's duff advice gis is going to be irish low next weekend!

[Piggy]

no, its not!!! GT is the idea jamie, not dumbass who cant carry passengers!

[puglove]

well you got tue dumb ass bit........ so why not have the cant carry passengers bit??

[SKoob]

Bottom rad hose arrived and fitted, not sure that the spring clip is gonna hold all that pressure though is the metal end meant to go all the way in to the rad? Window regulator clip arrived and on fitting the new clip I snapped it although have had to remove regulator anyway as the cables had wrapped and twisted themselves round. So have ordered a repair kit Thermostat housing was not at pug but will be tomorrow. Being carless sucks

[puglove]

yeah i was a skeptical as to weather the clip was going to hold, but its doing alright atm lol

[SKoob]

Got the stat housing and fitted it, fitted new fan switch, filled and bled coolant and started car. All working lovely now no leaks, the clip is holding and even the fan works

[Piggy]

yay worth all the agro now

[SKoob]

Oh yes, definitely already feels epic even with just uprated bushes and decent front tyres. Once past about 4.5k it just takes off and if kept above that its awesome fun on twisty b roads, oh and the noise

[SKoob]

Gave the car a quick wash as it's all back in 1 piece, here's how she's looking now











Bit of a monster truck at the moment but will be lowering her soon, just finding the motivation to tackle to rear beam

[Jtrigga]

Looks very good glad to see it on the road now. I know what you mean over 4.5k they go well. I need to sort my bushes out still.

[lolsteve]

Very nice, ph1's in this colour are my favourite

[SKoob]

Regulator repair kit finally arrived but.... cable length was different so couldn't fix it
