Yea not bad thanks mate - here's the latest!

Cheers lads!

Right a few updates tonight....firstly a disaster! I was making a little carbon panel for the alarm sensor in the roof where the interior light sits, and whilst drilling a hole the drill went through a bit too suddenly and dinged the roof a little, it basically looks like a little nipple on the roof from the outside but never mind... I will get it sorted and possibly weld over the ariel hole too as I can't be assed with that plastic grommet! FUCK!

Anyway, that's a small issue. I picked up a full set of OE Rallye decals today from Peugeot - I seem to be graced with a good/helpful local dealer as they only took a few days to arrive. I also bought some more hosing to fit my oil cooler, black stuff again as the braided stuff I got with it was too stiff to bend around the rad etc. Also, big news is that it's been picked up and is now in the Wire Wizard workshop being wired - so if it all goes to plan and it doesnt explode on first ignition then it should technically be working in 2 weeks or so! *fingers crossed* It still needs an exhaust mind so I won't be driving it for a while. To be honest I am shitting it - I just so hope nothing goes wrong and all the plans and hard work on the engine have been worth it!

Im sure it'll be well worth it mate, best 106 ive seen by a while to be honest!!

Thanks for the help with the brake lines by the way

moxy89 · 16th October 2009, 18:30

yeah was simons car... the engine in that feature had 193bhp by sandy brown is it the same engine ?? car is fucking epic

Lewisimo · 16th October 2009, 19:35

Yea I bought it off Simon without engine, brakes, seat, or steering wheel and i've fitted my parts (Si helped with the engine) and i've been adding my own touches. The engine is Bics old one, which I had rebuilt by Longmans - it's 207Bhp

Few more updates anyway. As you know I had that heater matrix hose debacle a while back which Mankee eventually sorted out for me - here are some pics of the wrong type which I kept getting from Citroen (it's due to the plastic housing being different I eventually discovered) and some pics of the right one fitted courtesy of Mr Chang, the Chinese arms, I mean parts dealer!

Also nipped to Earls today to get my catch tank (thanks to Bruce @ COmpetition Supplies for coming up with the goods uber quick) and cheers to Ashley @ Earls for sorting out all the little adaptors I needed to run the pro lite hose. Also got decals too! So no more questions about that please!

Here we go anyway:

Hose from Citroen:

Correct Hose from Mankee now fitted:

New Decals:

New Catch Tank:

Earls Adaptors and hose ends:

Fitted Up:

Thats all for now...just waiting on Bob to finish my wiring now!

Total sex mate. Nice attention to detail wish i had money like that to throw at my sax lol.

CHIP · 16th October 2009, 22:45

I absolutely love this car

Liam_ · 17th October 2009, 10:14

Looks class mate.

That a Mocal catch tank? Where can I get one/ how much?

Cheers

rushy_23 · 17th October 2009, 10:29

Ahh so its Bics old engine. I was thinking that the manifold looked a bit "too" crazy!

Nice work as usual.

Lewisimo · 17th October 2009, 12:48

cheers guys. Yea it is Bics one, was gonna keep it as a 'surprise' lol but never mind! Catch tank is from a supplier in Silverstone, £115. They've gone up in price as they're made in europe and the exchange rate is all fucked up now....

AlexR · 17th October 2009, 13:23

Ghey

Been there with the denting the roof

Forgot how little space there was and put a big screw into the roof panel with an 18v dewalt driver LOL Left a nice dint! Excuse for you to get a carbon roof panel?

Or are you just going for smooth aerial holeage and a roof respray?

rushy_23 · 17th October 2009, 13:26

Shit didnt even read the roof issue update. Ahh. CF me thinks

Lewisimo · 23rd October 2009, 13:38

A few more updates today anyway...Bob @ Wirewizrds sent me a picture message of a few bits, new engine loom is now ready to go in, my fan has been fitted and also the oil cooler. You'll have to excuse the pics but like I said they are phone pics!

Loom (Work of art!):

Fan:

Oil Cooler:

Should be running soon hopefully!

CHIP · 23rd October 2009, 13:46

*Drools* Nice one mate

Toad · 23rd October 2009, 13:58

This is exactly why I don't want to take any pics of my engine bay. Puts my car to shame

turbotom · 24th October 2009, 10:23

Have read this thread like 3 or 4 times now and it gets better every time!! the attention to detail is am-az-ing! this car WILL be a show winner and its quite clear that nothing is been missed out!!

One thing ate, the bolts you use for the P clips on brake lines inside, are they a self taper bolt or are you drilling a hole and using nut and bolt?

keep it up!!!
