keep it up mate, if you do think of changing the brakes and stuff definately consider the 283 conversion. i've just done it on mine and now they are pretty much bed in they're awesome!!

Have you got any plans for suspension and braking in the pipeline?

Yeah, brakes and suspension are on "the list" lol. I'm gonna get some berlingo brakes from the scrappies and recon them. Then after my birthday i'm gonna save for a full suspension kit after my exhaust.

Cheers mate, i was thinking 283's but they are properly heavy. The gyro forces on the car are massivly higher under braking. I'm probably gonna go for a 266 setup under vtr alloys.

Thanks. I've only just had a massive surge in progress. Give it time mate, no point in rushing it

brakes are something that save your life. i have noticed no difference in weight under driving/braking conditions. the brakes are simply unreal, you should go in a car with or have a go in one buddy.

I have the 266mm brake setup from a 206 GTi, and it's very good.
Got the calipers, discs and pads for £50 too, so not much money at all

Did you get them from the scrappies?

adamskiTNR · 23rd April 2010, 16:58

I [U]had[U] to clean my car today. It was filthy, Far better now though.
At the same time i fitted my dash surround that i had painted

adamskiTNR · 23rd April 2010, 19:09

Electrical bits still haven't turned up. Waiting on that delivery for progress to continue

adamskiTNR · 23rd April 2010, 21:37

Ok, gonna be securing some vtr alloys soon hopefully. From one source or another. I'm going to refurb them black. Should finally finish the car outside aand get rid of the grim 106 temp steelies on the back lol

raunchz · 23rd April 2010, 21:41

Cars awesome mate, cracking work!!

Beats fitting a show cage

a refreshing progress thread to read!!

I think 266mm brakes with good fluid and pads should be plenty!

What sort of plans engine wise? Keep the 1.4 with nice brakes and suspension and give some 16vers a run for their money?

newqs36 · 23rd April 2010, 21:46

clock surround looks really nice with the cage, nice touch

Cheers mate, nice to be appreciated. Yeah i'm gonna keep the 1.4 in it and just trick the handling to perfect. Keeping the furio stickers on it just so they know what passed them

Thanks, i haven't seen it before, thought i'd give it a crack to see what it looked like. Would look a bit shit without everything else

I get the odd funny look with Westcoast badges and drums on the rear !

Sounds good!! Will look forward to seeing the suspension being tweaked !

adamskiTNR · 23rd April 2010, 22:01

It's on a nice fat list of things. First is vtr alloys, then kam exhaust, then 266 brakes, then apex 40mm kit or spax adjustables. not sure yet

adamskiTNR · 24th April 2010, 13:00

Tweeks have emailed me saying they are happy to replace both of my harnesses with new ones. They will be picking them up wednesday and then about 21 days for stock waiting. ggrrrr. more parts waiting. I hope it's not another 6 month wait lol

Wayne · 24th April 2010, 13:29

Car looks nice bud

cage looks tidy

you not going to paint the interior?

adamskiTNR · 24th April 2010, 13:35

No, i though about it, but it would just be a bit of hassle that i can't be doing with. I'm not after show looks anyway

Yeah, just thought about that and it would actually be giving them a run for my money lol. considering you can pick up a vts for a quarter of my project. anyways, should be fun
