Any pics of the V6 cars?

[C2V6]

Thought I'd best make a heatsheild.


Intercooler mounted. Wanted to keep everything hidden but still have the potential for decent power for a later date.
Pipe work was very fiddly.



I think with some decent black mesh it should be less obvious.

Drivers mount and expansion tank now complete.

Today's job was install the leon gearstick and selector mechanism to the c2
Fits well. Possibly the only 6 speed c2??....

[C2V6]

Tbh I have no idea lol
I built my 1st one purely as a mess about but not I seem to keep getting guys from the c2 communitie coming for conversions. No one else offers the service so naturally I'm not going to turn them away.
I really wanna build something smaller. Perhaps a C1??.....

Loved your twin V6 C2, this looks pretty cool too.

If you don't mind me asking, why C2's?

You mean this one?
It's currently sat at the bottom of the drive looking sorry for itself. Soon as get time I'll be back on to it.

[C2V6]

Started trimming out the parts of the engine loom that's not needed.
Very teadious word

[C2V6]

New driveshaft bars arrived today.
To take the 1.8t gearbox cv joints and a heavy duty citroen hub end joint.

[C2V6]

Not 100% sure on price yet until I'm complete and know exactly what's needed.

[C2V6]

wiring almost complete now. Just to tidy up.
Found I need a trigger wheel fitting to feed the c2 dash so waiting for that to arrive now.

My gut reaction? All that hard work, dedication and labour time, and you've still got a 1800cc 4-pot?


And quite a dull one, IMO of course....


All credit to you for the skillz etc, but the V6s are much more impressive in my eyes.

Yes very true it is just a 1800 4 pot but tuning potential and parts are very available for these very tried and tested engines.
I finding there a lot of interest in the c2 community for a turbo charged engine conversion. I'm starting yonthinkbrgere could be a good market for it but time will tell.
Nothin ventured nothing gained as they say. Be interesting to see how well a 210bhp v6 fairs against this 210bhp 1800...

[C2V6]

Tuning parts for the v6 are rare so very expensive to tune over 260bhp.

[C2V6]

Slowly getting there.
