[Rallye James]

Looks pretty clean Marcs :) Shame about the scratches and that :(

I like some of the subtle mods like the aerial, the pedals and the spoiler :cool:

[Jimbo]

Smart car you have there mate.

Shame about some of the damage, but nothing that can't be easily replaced. :)

Any future plans for it?

[Marcs]

Well once ive sorted the damage ive got a few things in mind:)

Got some eibach sportlines waitin to go in:)

A gti rear axle is on its way thanks to rich-gti

Along with gti front calipers, and Gti front ARB.

So all that should be goin on in a month or two.

Got some wheels to go on too with eagle f 1 rubber but im waitin to lower it before i put the alloys on.

Lots more to come ill keep you updated

[Rallye James]

Cool :) What wheels have you got?

[Marcs]

Quite old school there the TSW evos
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/marcuscarman/Forum%20Photos/tsw_evo.png

Ive got no centre caps for them tho:(

Ive also got a set of nimrods but im not gonna put them on yet.

I like the idea of 15''s more:)
And ive got all the spacers etc for the evos.

I really want a set of tsw catalunya 15''

But im not buyingthem new so im checkin ebay a lot:p

[Rallye James]

I really like the TSWs :) Different too ;)

[Marcs]

There used to be a Gti round me with them on which inspired me:)

Havent seen it in ages though and as i drive past the guys house alot i can asume its not around anymore so ill be the only one with them around me:p

[Marcs]

As i said i should be putting on a new rear axle and front callipers soon:)

So i was wondering what Discs and Pads should i get for my new GTi brake setup??

I dont really wanna spend too much as i seem to be spending loads on the car at the moment:p

[Marcs]

Anyone????

[Rallye James]

I'd go for Ferodos. Not too expensive, but still decent quality, That's what I'm looking at getting ;)

[Marcs]

Woah james youve jus gone over 3000 Posts:eek:


I was considering them think the package on ebay for front & rear pads and discs was about £140 and dont they make a lot of brake dust?

I was thinking a little bit cheaper than that.

Remember its only stopping a 1.4:p

[jacko191188]

love the gti pedals, sounds like u have gt some gd plans bud, keep it up!

[Marcs]

love the gti pedals, sounds like u have gt some gd plans bud, keep it up!
Cheers boyo!!

Theyre my favourite thing ive done just because ive never seen it before:p

Couldnt really get a good photo of them though:(

[jacko191188]

o yer and how do you post pictures like that?

[Rallye James]

o yer and how do you post pictures like that?

There's a guide in the general chat forum :)

[James.G]

get on photobucket and then copy and paste the link..

look at my post on pgac for my opinion of brakes marcs

[Marcs]

James was nice enough to post a guide a while back:
http://www.106owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=3077

I expect you to post some pics up now though:p

[Marcs]

Update:

Some of you might have read that i had a slight problem getting my wheels on,
First there was a problem that i had fitted studs to my car when i had my nimrods but i had to remove these as they wernt gonna fit the spacers for my new wheels.
Once i had got the studs out i then had the problem that because of my spacers the bolts for the wheels where actually too long!

So after an hour and fifteen minutes oh sawing 16 bolts 6mm shorter each.

I now have my new wheels on YAY
Some pics straight after i got them on:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/marcuscarman/Forumpics044.jpg

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/marcuscarman/Forumpics046.jpg

Gotta love the new tyres:)

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/marcuscarman/Forumpics053.jpg

After a lil drive:

[gazz]

Hahaha, sounds like fun!

What wheels are they mate?

Really needs lowering next I think :)

[Marcs]

Then just to make me happier look what came this morning:)

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/marcuscarman/Forumpics070.jpg

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/marcuscarman/Forumpics069.jpg

And by the time i had finnished sixthform:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/marcuscarman/Forumpics065.jpg

Its just dying to be lowered now!!

Ive got my springs.

Went to the garage today to ask about fitting my gti axle and lowering it.

Im gonna have to wait till gone june 4th but hell be able to do it straight after that:)

So not long:)

[Marcs]

They are tsw evo's:)

Lowerings coming all in good time:)

[gazz]

LOL - I just read about the lowering!

Nice load of bits you've got there :D

[Marcs]

Mores on its way stay tuned:p

[Rallye James]

Looking good! I wasn't sure I'd like them but they are rather nice. Look better without the centre caps ;)

I want your tyres! :D

[Marcs]

The only reason i havent put centre caps on is because i dont have any:(To be honist they could do with a refurb!So if i come accross a set of Catalunyas in 15'' i might have to get them.Im shit at making decissions though!I had nimrods(which ive still got in my garage but without the right bolts and spacers)But then i wanted 15sSo i got the TSWs but then started looking for a set of vts wheelsThen got tempted by some cyclonesAnd i still think id rather another set even after all the time and money ive put to get these on:(

[palmer234]

looks good mate, my missus lives in brizzle and ill be movin down in a month (ish) will have to pop up to weston and see it.
alex

[Marcs]

Yea for sure
I think there might be a little meet going on sometime soon down here in the south-west:)

[Marcs]

My colour coded wing mirrors came through today YAY...



..Or so i thought:@

When i opened the box rather than being just the front caps silver.

The whole mirror is silver and the mount.

Grrr so im either gonna send them back or if anyones interested im open to offers.

[Rallye James]

Where did you get them from?

Swap the caps for your black ones then send 'em back ;) :p

[yt_106_quiksilver]

Car looks good mate :)

[Marcs]

I got them on ebay.And there the ones without caps(the one peice ones)And on my car currently i have one with the cap and one thats the one peice one:(Thanks yt

[Rallye James]

Oh right :( I thought the one piece ones were for the S1 only? :confused:

[Marcs]

Not sure:sive got one of each.

[Marcs]

Car went in to get the clutch done and lowered today:)

Should get it back before monday i cant wait!!:D

[Jack_Pug]

Car looks mint m8. Can i just ask how much you are paying for new clutch, as think mine needs one. cheers jack

[Marcs]

i bought the valeo clutch kit for £90 and the Cable for £20

not sure on how much its gonna cost to get fitted yet?:p

[Luke]

How much you decking her by?

[Rallye James]

Mine was £100 for just the cable and having that fitted :o

Can't wait to see it lower! :D

[Marcs]

How much you decking her by?

Well its going on eibach sportlines so 45-50mm on the gti
Due to the lighter engine im expecting a drop of about 40:p

Mine was £100 for just the cable and having that fitted :o

Can't wait to see it lower! :D

I've already got all the parts so im not bothered about what ive already spent.

And hes a friendof my mum and dads so it shouldnt be too steep:D

Ill let you know how that one comes out:confused:

And i am so excited im dying to get it back.

My Gti anti roll bar came through today as well:)

So im tempted to drop it at the garage and add that to the mix. Unless its pretty simple to do myself??

That and my gti calipers came through too:)

But im not sure how to fit them either?

Anyone got a guide??:o

[James.G]

pretty piss to fit mate, get a haynes manuel :)

[Marcs]

Yea i got a haynes:p

Sorry for all the questions but ive hear good things about these induction kits.

I think i might have to get a 2" i know if i dont ill end up wanting one:p

I wanted to get a new mani as well this month but funds wont allow it:(

Wheres better to order Kam Racing?

Or Ebay 106 parts?

[Rallye James]

I got mine second hand but if you're getting a new one I'd say 106parts (although some people have had the 3" sent instead of the 2"). If you're an RR member you get a discount from them too :D

James = ASW :D

Bit of an issue!!

Today my friend was turning my car round!

And when he went to put it in reverse there was a loud clonk!

And then my gear stick was flapping about like a wet fish.

I thought my quikshift must have popped off.

So i got under it.
Its not the quikshift it was another linkage. the cup the ball sits in has popped off bbut left the joint there!

Im not sure if that makes sense?

But im gonna get under her again tomorro and get some pics.

Any chance the quikshift caused this??

Or did my friend(who doesnt have a quikshift)
Give reverse too much of a yank?

And where can i get a new linkage?

[Marcs]

Anyone?

[James]

should be able to get new linkage from any local motorfactors mate should only be about 15-20 quid

[James.G]

hmm strange mate, cant reeally tell untill you seen pics. dout its the quikshift coz i know alot of people who have had them and never had any problems. yet again not sure if your mate would rip it that hard to pull it off...

get some pics.

if it nakered? or can it be pushed back on?

[Marcs]

Its Knackered!

All the bushings in the cup have come out and stayed on the ball.

Ive jus had a shower so once im dressed im gonna jack her up.
(which i hate doin)

[Marcs]

Problem solved all for £11.87

The reverse gearlinkage bushing fell out so i went to peugeot got a new one and it put it on.

Peice of piss too:D

[Marcs]

mini update
