Thanks mate  cant help but smile as soon as it gets past 5k

[Pebbles167]

Shouldn't really rev to 8000rpm though should it? Cut out is at like 7600?

Most probably is I just glanced down and it looked around 8k haha going to quick to stare at the dials

Is this running the standard MA gearbox? If so avoid too much craziness in first. It's a known weak point.

I think it is and yeah first time I've done it in first. I don't like hammering it to hard. Have to much mechanical sympathy haha

[Pebbles167]

The feel of the gearbox is great I just know them to not be especially strong, the BE box is superior but I'm not sure how common conversions are.

Only had my 106 gti 3 weeks! Had my XSI in the family for 10 years though.

Hopefully it holds up, if not there pretty simple to change

So noticed at motorway speed and under heavy acceleration it's a little unstable. So guessing it's worn bushes and so on. So do you guys think it will be worth upgrading it. I'm thinking of getting Powerflex poly bush black editions. It's £150 for the front set (wishbone bushes and anti roll bars) and £80 for the rear set (4 rear beam bushes) so about £230 for the lot. Would you guys say it will be worth it?

[Nathan1305]

Or found Pug1off do an 'ultimate road/track kit' solid rear bushes, poly front wishbone and anti roll bar bushes and vibratechnics front bushes. These are £204 +VAT so similar price

I've had a lot of feedback from customers regarding rear bushes, baker bm group a mounts are the preferred bushes or flow flex have a good feedback. Powerflex seems to die quick I've one here that had them fitted for 3 months and has died already customer has now gone onto a good quality oem bush and finds it better.
My opinion would be baker mounts and as for fronts a good oem bush polly bushes have far to bush movement from my experience.

Interesting  might get the bm baker rear bushes and see what happens with the front

So bit of an update, went to Matt's yesterday and fitted S1 Rallye manual window mechanisms, Door cards and grab handles. I think it looks a lot better than the big GTi door cards. Also weight reduction bro. Only thing I need to do is try get a couple of spray cans mixed up so I can spray the centre of the doors because being typical Peugeot they only sprayed part of the doors

Haha peugeot,tight bastard

Looks really good mate, what else do you plan on doing before pugfest ??

[Piggy]

nah, dont paint them...do you know how much paint weighs!?

[Nathan1305]

Thanks mate  and before Pugfest will be a good clean up inside and out, new wheels  and little bits like that. After Pugfest is when most of the work will take place. New bushes all round, new rear beam finally on, fixing the rust on the inside arch, weld in harness bars to the cage and save for some decent tyres. Unsure what to go for. They will be on 15" wheels

nah, dont paint them...do you know how much paint weighs!?

Haha I need to find a place that mixes decent sundance yellow. Plan on respraying the inside so it's all yellow not just parts of it

[Niall]

Good luck getting a decent mix on the paint. The original paint was lead based which is not allowed any more. Even the closest of water based mixes don't match perfectly.

Ah well anything close will be fine  not looking for show quality. Any recommendations on places to mix paint? I imagine halfords matches wouldn't be the best 

[kentiiboii]

If your doing the whole inside, personally I'd just get halfords or something as it'll be close enough and doubt it would be noticed on the inside.
If it was outside I'd get matching.

Yeah could be the easier/cheaper option 

[kentiiboii]

If you do it up to the door shuts (not inside them) I doubt it would be noticeable

Was thinking of blending it into the door seals. That way it looks more seamless

Yeah probably a much better idea :-)

Gonna need quite a few cans I think haha

So I got some S1 manual mirrors off Matt when I went up and got the window mech. I was planning on fitting them but didn't like the all black casing and didn't want to spray them as there textured. So I had a bit of a brainwave and thought about swapping over the manual internals into the electric ones. I had a look on line for a guid but couldn't find anyone that has done it, they just seem to buy whole new units. The main reasons I swapped it over is 1. It's lighter 2. Electric ones didn't work 3. I like a challenge  

I took some progress pics so you can see what was involved. 

Step 1 is to remove the mirror itself

Then remove the motor unit

[attachment=23927]

---

Then remove base plate and wiring 

[attachment=23928]

---

Then fit the manual base plate

[attachment=23929]

---

Then fit the manual mechanism 

[attachment=23930]

---

Then refit the S1 Mirror and it was done  so it's and S2 body with S1 manual internals and S1 mirror. May seem like a simple task but I'm really proud of it. Managed to do it without knowing if it will work or even what was inside. Never taken one apart. So have manual mirrors and windows

[Nathan1305]

Decided to start taking the sound deadening stuff and headliner off today  it came off pretty easy around the boot but I'm struggling to get it off the footwells. May have to use a heat gun. It's coming along though  got some plans for it in the next few months hopefully it all goes well

Looks good man. Always wanted one of these. Had an xsi back in the day with those same door cards.
