If i run into any issues I'll shout!!

 

Hope it all runs smoth

[SteveW 6]

Hi Richard, rear bumper is standard, no diffuser. Its a great conversion with the gti-6 engine, done a few trackdays now and its great. If you need any help with your conversion speak to Spiky on here, he can also sort you out a plug and play loom and rev counter loom

[SteveW 6]

Been a while since ive updated this thread, I have throttle bodies. Thanks again to Spiky for supplying them and the wiring job you did for me. Its comming back together nicely now, just the radiator needs dropping and a few tidy up jobs and she will be ready for donnington in march. The wife has the bug now after doing oulton park and mallory park in her dads pug, will be her first drive in mine

[SteveW 6]

Also have 2 sets of very light citroen C5 alloys to go on soon

[SteveW 6]

Sparco wheel that father xmas brought me

[SteveW 6]

Cant wait now, she sounds awesome on tickover, last pic

[SteveW 6]

Ecu now mounted, really happy now. just got to drop the radiator and some work on the exhaust and she's good to go, cant wait til donnington now on the 13th march

[SteveW 6]

bit more work yesterday lowering the rad, just waiting now for the new fan to come

 

 

 

[SteveW 6]

Got round to modding and fitting the pipercross airbox, will only use this if there are noise issues on track

[SteveW 6]

rear mod allowing it to be mounted to the backplate

[Spiky 37]

cool

 

you bought a fan?

 

quite like the airbox on it just need a big flexi pipe now so it gets a cold air feed from the old fog lamp area

Air box looks good but hopefully will get little to no use as its for tracks where i might have an issue with noise. Angle grinder out again tonite as the bonnet wont shut with the airbox on. Sounds frigging awesome with the filter on it, thats the only reason i had it all of you , love the sound of the induction. The airfilter is hanging up in the house drying out waiting to be re-oiled, you should have seen the crap that came out of it when i washed it.

Passenger footwell alot neater than it used to be

 

 

Steering wheel that once graced a lotus exige now will get used in anger in the pug, dont look so pink in this pic lol

 

 

My bonnet mod lol, need to chop a bit more off now so it clears the airbox

 

[SteveW 6]

Bonnet mod complete

[SteveW 6]

Front end all back together, made 2 brackets to secure the top of the rad, cut of the plastic lugs of the original fan cowling and fitted them to the bumper so the grill can be fitted easilly

[Spiky 37]

nice one
