[Spiky 37]

[hatemgti 4]

[Spiky 37]

cheers for comments

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Very very nice This is something in the long term plan of the Rallye

 

Would be very interested in the details and main problems you come across with this.

[Spiky 37]

problems

 

 

 

i bloody hope ZERO....lol

 

 

joking aside, i will have to keep an eye on a few things

 

water temps

drive shafts

braking

 

 

and see how it holds out

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Haha, 'hope it hold out'

 

Obviously there is some jiggery pokkery with the intercooler but is the rest just bolt on with as you said GTI6 management?

 

These are rather pricey so will have to keep an eye out for a 2nd hand set up next year! As for the brakes I will have to go to some 15inch steelies with GTI6 brakes under. And as you say hope the shafts hold up! Water temp? = big radiator / fan!?

 

Edit ; I see theres always a fair few kits knocking about on the GTI6 forum. Will have to save up for next year!!!

water temp, as now there is a big fat intercooler infront of it,

 

so may need to get alloy rad which is a bit thicker

[Garry 1]

Welcome to the club Spiky

 

Water temps should be fine, since plumbing mine like yours (T piece) mine has run nice and cool, although I do have one of the low rad tec radiators.

 

Watch out for your noise output, with the charger your car will be much louder than before, not good with strict noise regs at circuits these days.

 

Power wise you will be very pleased, no need for high boost in my opinion, but you will have to look at the rest of the car and upgrade accordingly, ie bigger brakes, suspension, geo etc. Never ending cycle I am afraid!

[Spiky 37]

I will be making a nice exhaust might even have two tail pipes, one each side, so I can have a third silencer or STD setup with big boxes and a pre made bung I can bolt on if need be.

 

Brakes done

Suspension done

Geo is to do

 

Hopefully I have sorted all the other bits for new

Power, time will tell

i enjoyed reading this very informative anymore happened??

[Spiky 37]

no change yet

 

awaiting some parts and free time

[Spiky 37]

done a few things with the 205 over the weekend

 

had the car running briefly friday, which was nice

 

now just need to put it all back together

sorted the drive shafts,

wishbones

n/s Brakes plumbed in and bolt up

o/s brakes bolted up but not plumbed in

intercooler and rad brackets made up

 

so here are some pics

 

had some alloy pipe welded

 

 

but wasnt happy with it (after i had painted it ...DOH!)

 

so have made up a new pipe which is in the pics below

 

 

the bend on the left hand side, gets sucked in when the engine is running, have two bends and didnt realise the one i been using is the softer of the two, so will cut that to use and put some reinforcement inside. i think once the car is road legal i will take it to a fabricators and get a proper pipe made once and for all

 

but at least it's starting to look like a car again now

 

some more pics

 

 

 

 

 

still a few things left to do, but light is getting pretty bright at the end of the tunnel now

[Discostu 6]

That looks bloody smashing mate

 

Coming together very nicely, and also looking very tidy

[Spiky 37]

even gave the grill and valance for you ...lol

[SteveW 6]

Looking great Steven, cant wait to go out in it

[Spiky 37]

i'll stephen you

[Spiky 37]

mrs popped out, so any chance i get i dive in the garage ...LOL

 

so little more progress

 

 

 

 

 

 

pulley is a little close, so looks like i have to take a chunck out of the front panel for safety

 

[SteveW 6]

Looking great Steven, wont be to long now

[Spiky 37]

had another boost pipe made, and this one fit's perfect,

 

 

 

just need to get one made for left hand side now

 

 

 

[Spiky 37]

bought some more wheels now

 

bought two sets of these, one set came with some slicks

 

 

[Spiky 37]

well the car is pretty much done now

 

just need to get some air out of the brakes

 

and for someone to sell me a passenger front hub

[Spiky 37]

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

wheels look good, what size and offset?

 

shame about the ballache with the hub though. have you pm'd the usual big 205 breakers on here about another one?
