[trackday_prep] My 205 GTI-6 Supercharged Track Car

[Spiky 37]

tombo, you''ll be no6 then

 

so you buying a pug or taking the clio on track?

[SteveW 6]

You getting another 205 Tom?

[tombo 0]

well it has been in serious consideration.... the old man wants to go halfs on a track car, he really wants a caterham/westfield type option, im trying to talk the 205 efforts into him with affordable track day fun being the strongest point.

 

hmmmm i may need all your assitance to get this to happen, im thinking possibly a miami blue gti?

[Spiky 37]

well been a while since i did and update, few little changes

 

took the engine out to change the gearbox back the 1.9 and change clutch

 

 

though after i took the clutch off, i found it was brand new, so didnt bother

 

 

 

first of all i sold all my light C5 steelie wheels,

 

so far i have bought 2 sets of replacements

 

set 1

 

 

set 2

 

 

 

the main reason for the change, is for a slight change of calipers that i'm trying

 

 

need to get some decent pads but will use whats in there for now

 

i have bought a new steering wheel, as i thought the car deserved one , so bought this

 

 

also decided that innacurate speedo just doesn't do it, so have decided to ditch the standard clocks and the SPA gauges

and bought a stack dash , got a it for a good price and it's the 8310P so does pretty much everything

 

oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, fuel level, fuel pressure, oddometer and various other features

 

so i have bought some carbon fibre to mount it, but here is a trial mockup useing cardboard

 

 

 

you think thats enought?

 

well no..lol

 

one last update to all that

 

i have sold the ITB's and DTA ecu bye bye sound

 

and bought this setup

 

 

 

all hoses and silicone will be going black (awaiting deleivery )

 

 

can fit the panel back on to, so it's kinda back to standard

what ya think ?

[Batfink 201]

I think you are going to have some serious fun

I've just got a digi dash myself. They make sense once you look at the full cost of buying multiple high quality dials

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

What do I think?? It's brilliant and I'm jealous

[Spiky 37]

Should be a laugh lol

 

One complete dash just makes sense, ESP as this does everything

[309PUG 2 1 Cars]

Hi,

That's the same dash I had, great bit of kit, what management will you be running ??

 

Chris

[Spiky 37]

Yeah ,always wanted one

 

It will be using a standard gti6 ecu

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

Surprised you didn't keep the DTA to run it to be honest, I know Rich does the ready mapped ecu's for low boost but every engines different at the end of the day

Looking very good Spiky. We are now using the same front elise brakes. I am using padgid ceramic pads with mine i highly rate them although they are circa £150 a set. What ET are the wheels your using iirc the elise brakes require a 12mm spacer for clearance. Im looking into some alloy belled disks for the elises as the only thing that lets them down imo is the weight of the hdi disc.

[Spiky 37]

Would have been ideal, but needed to get back as much as I could to fund the sc conversion

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

Ahh fair enough, should still go like the clappers!

 

Any plans to beef up the drivetrain? I think Garry had trouble with his driveshafts and now runs modified 306 ones.

[Spiky 37]

Both wheels have good caliper clearance, so hoping I don't need spacers, not tried them yet, do that on the weekend

 

Undecided on pads for now

 

As my engine sits at correct angle and most of the 306 guys have little issues, I'm hoping I should be ok for a while, else I will look at sorting it

 

The inlet is the same as a 306 so it gives you an idea how much angle changing does

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

Yeh hopefully they'll be ok then, if they're decent quality shafts to start with I'm sure with mechanical sympathy they'll last.

 

Hoping to get over to do a few more Combe trackdays this year, plus I like the look of Pembrey! You got any booked?

[Spiky 37]

No plans yet, just trying to find time to get it finished

 

Just had twins so time isn't on my side lol

Pembrey is ok, was a little disappointed, as I thought it was bigger, bigger than landow, and would do again

[james28 0]

just seen all the work gone into this car its awesome and the car certainly goes well

where can i get a diff from for my gti spiky ? and was it expensive.

[Spiky 37]

todays progress

 

fitted dash

 

fitted the MOT requirements lights

 

fitted AFR gauge, though due to wheel, slightly hidden but can still see it

 

and fitted the switchs for the stack

 

also fitted replace hub and fitted all the brakes on

Looks really cool that fair play

[james28 0]

as said that looks ace

[Spiky 37]

did you click the video below the picture?

 

like a kid at christmas..lol

 

 

james, i bought my diff second (but was unused) but rallydesign, and several places sell them, for around 600'ish

[james28 0]

does the diff make a big differance? before and after the cars are quite nimble and grip well.Thought about this on mine but i am only a novice track day driver been to snetterton a few times donnington a few times and mallory.

[Spiky 37]

Depend how you drive, if you drive like miss daisy it probably won't make much difference, I certainly noticed the extra grip

[hatemgti 4]

what gearbox you are going to use with this new setup?
