Comming along very nicely mate

Personally think you should keep it flat arch.

Yeah I've been looking at it and keep thinking it would be better as a flat arch. Saves me cutting the arch up

Yeah I'll put the arches up for sell Smile really undecided on what wheels to run, really like the 205 GTi wheels or cyclones

What are the plans for the heater matrix? That's going to make it really hot in the cabin in the summer.

If you bypass it, remember to restrict the flow so as to not encounter heat issues within the cooling system Smile

what you want to do pal, is rob an MGF for the battery cables, as the engine is in the rear on those and the battery is in the front.

yeah, see if you can get the negative one too,  not sure where that went, as it was a long time ago when I broke my donor car.

It says it's the positive cable and negative cable from battery to starter motor. So I guess that all I need to move it to the boot

My mistake it is just positive so what negative cable will I need?

you will need the positive, I think you will need a Univeral Negative lead, that will go on the earth side of things in the boot area, But you will need to earth what ever is on the negative lead in the engine bay.

must be one of the first 106's ive seen with out seat mounts cracked! talking of cracked when you drop your axle asses the beam mounting areas as the body likes to crack and fail, ive seen it on so many just thought id pass it on.

Dunno if it's already been said or done but take the spare wheel and the bracket for it off, take the inner arches out and blast out all the mud behind them to save a few grams

205 gti wheels are fairly heavy BTW might want to consider lighter wheels if your going to the effort of stripping the car

Looking good and moving quickly at this speed when do you plan to have it finished?

Stripped as much as I could out, and it's kind of sorted haha I changed the plugs and it's helped, once it's been running 2-3 minutes it's fine but still revs lumpy on start up

Cool thanks mate I'll check that out once I take the beam off

The spare has already gone and that's a good Idea about the inner arches. What wheels would you recommend? And I should have it completely ready for FCS where it will get its maiden voyage Smile

Be great to see it getting hammered at combe,it's nice curcuit where car's with shorter ratios really thrive so you may get a few passes/keep with a lot of cars.

Yeah I've been watching a lot of videos on YouTube and the 106 seems to love it round Combe

Getting a recon GTi beam from Stefan205 soon and some 50mm lowering springs for the front. That should give it some nice handling, then the brakes will be updated to 266mm. Unsure what I can do engine wise. It has a induction kit and a full pugs port system already

id look out for some c5 steel/alloy wheels they are one of the lightest wheel combos out there at little cost.

the c5 wheels are lighter, if you go for 1.2's buy direct fit ones with the correct offset. Bloody spacers hate them with passion
