hugh_106 - 106 Quiksilver

[hugh_106]

Everyone seems to have one of these so I thought I better do one too.


Bought my Quicksilver back in late 2004. Nice and standard and so much nicer than my old Lazer Green Phase One 1.1 (don’t crucify me for it, lol)

Over the next half a year I got quite a few mods, and it ended up like this in the Summer of 2005. 15”s, Lowered, Pugsport, Pipercross Filter, M3 rear lights, Spoiler.

Did this boot build during the summer, my first solo attempt at something like that so I was really pleased with it.

Spring 2006 and I was strapped for cash so the next mod was some HID Bulbs for the front. During the summer of 2006, I managed to get my Raceland Induction kit and Manifold fitted, adding a nice grunt to my baby, and a strutbrace.

Since then I’ve got a Green filter inside the Induction Kit and I’ve recently finished doing my new boot install, although I still need to wire the screen up (and position the front one!) and get the 2 vibe subs that the boxes were designed for. Also started messing around with mounting my crossovers, but that’s a definite work in progress.

Designed the install so I can still get all my handy tools underneath as well, quite pleased with the result.

You might hate it, but I’ve also got nice little green lights inside.

This is the beast from the garden of my flat block and in more detail.

Next plans are some little interior mods. I’ve got some 206 GTi pedals, that just need screwing on, and got a new gear knob and handbrake handle to get, along with designing something for the handbrake gaitor to attach to. At some point I also need to get my clutch done, as its starting to be a pain. I also need to buy some tyreweld stuff, so I can get rid of the spare.

Longterm Plans: Corbeau Carreras (wanted them for years!), Powerflex Bushes/Mounts etc, Different Alloys.

Just for a laugh I might also strip the seats and install out for a bit, just so I can rag it around.



Hope you like it!!!

I've decided (probably) to remove the screen actually, and make the middle bit thinner, so the angle of the sub boxes will go further back. To keep it looking nice, I'll mount a Pug Lion on there instead of the screen. Can't be arsed to do it all, don't really want it.

Here's the latest mod. Little touch but I'm really happy. The pedals from the 206 GTi.
