S1 106 dturbo (sleeper)

[Martin306]

i am after some uprated mounts as the inlet sits very close to steering rack :O

that's not the steering rack

That's the brake bar for the master cylinder.

Bash that and you'll have no brakes lol

[procta]

Christ that's close!

[Teddy]

You sure that's the brake bar ? Seams to go to struts

got some parts this morning swap a lad some 306 parts for this tidy lot fully polly bush bottom arms, gti6 brakes, bucket seats with runners and harness do need a gd clean 2 intercoolers and loads off boost pipes

[Teddy]

seats fitted

[Martin306]

Definitely, 100% that is the brake bar.

Press the brake pedal and watch it

good progress mate but those banded steels look crap tho would look better on a silver estate haha

cheers chap tbh 9j is a bit wide for the 106 really need 8j

[ash23]

they do look very wide lol get them on with some arch extentions

[Piggy]

banded doesnt suit the theme to me...too much "look at me and my chavvy tyre shredding, tramlining car."! imo!

Need some C5 steelies to keep it sleeper and light!

like the buckets though

be interested to see how you get on with those lower arms...need to do the mrs, and havnt lifted the carpet to find the bolts yet!

[Teddy]

i do like banded steel they just stick out the arch about 2 foot

[Teddy]

going to have a go at fitting front mount this afternoon its going to be tight as there is f*ck all room

[Martin306]

No room for a fmic?

My S2 has LOADS of space in front of the rad, is the rad still in it's original place? Maybe the s1 has less of a gap? I never really noticed.

[Teddy]

the bottom off the bumper sits very close to slam panel so really hard to get a pipe between it with out cutting bumper cant move rad as there no room to move it back

[Chris_90]

If you fit the Renault oil filter that might free some room up, what radiator is on this? Nor still on the 1.5d one is it?

[Teddy]

made a start before it chucked it down with rain left side is fine it right side i got problems trying to make it fit round bumper

[Chris_90]

Run it under chassis leg can see this over heating on that radiator tbh mine gets quite hot some times, so being a d turbo bet it will get mega hot would look in to a bigger radiator if possible tbh

thats the plan lad there hole cut in the wing to run it through i bet it propperly will had it running for about 10mins the other day when setting pump it didnt really get that hot

its running a smaller oil filter but its about 1/2 away from starter motor and alternator

[Chris_90]

Probably won't get on tick over but boosting around I'm sure it will start to rise

[Teddy]

True chap will might have to look at a 205 rad might be bit bigger

[Chris_90]

It's longer but shorter and not as thick looked at putting one on mine other day, think I'm gonna try a ph2/3 rad but not sure yet

[Teddy]

gd idea that pal

[Teddy]

there we go done well chuffed just need to make some mounting brackets for intercooler

[Piggy]

Nice one.

Not sure if it helps, but on my mrs nad, doesnt matter if you rag, cruise or sit in traffic, temp never goes above halfway...
Only thing going for it is its got a 12month old gen rad.

[Teddy]

not much to update really got some 30mm springs today drivers wheel bearing is shagged to got to order a new 1

[mr_fish]

Adds to the sleeper look being a complete shed

[welshpug]

pipes look a bit big, what i.d are they?

[silverzx]

I'm voting 2.5" (Xantia inlet is 2.25").

[Teddy]

2 1/2 hole setup cost me £20 so cant grumble
