[trackday_prep] My 205 GTI-6 Supercharged Track Car

[welshpug 1,661]

yeah that's what I was meaning, like a 206 gti180.

 

(or a 306 touring car)

[GilesW 41]

Nice car and build.

Is the box under the steering column a video processor? If so what model is it and do you get on with it well (worth getting?).

[Spiky 37]

kinda of

 

you have multiple camera plug in and you can arrange them various ways, then that is outputted to the dvr

 

its the third one i have bought (35 each)

 

not sure it likes the shocks and cold garage

What's the price if you don't mind me asking? I run a modded gti6 205 and its very loud especially at 8000rpm. Want to start few more track days and worried about noise limits. Thanks Dave.

[Spiky 37]

had a new exhaust made for the 205 today, 2.5" bore, with optional 3rd Silencer

 

just hoping now it's all ok,

 

what you think?

 

 

 

 

and the optional 3rd Box, if it's still a little loud

 

[welshpug 1,661]

looks like it'll do the job, have you tested the sound level?

 

 

what colour did you have those C5 wheels painted by the way? going to paint another pair to match

[Spiky 37]

prospeed said their tester isnt calibrated(his words not mine), so not taking thier figures , and it's 6DB quieter than when he tested the std

 

though he has said, if it's too loud he will sort it , nice bloke

 

did you have the white ones? will ask my mate

[welshpug 1,661]

yeah they were white

 

how many Db did they say?

 

If you have a reference reading from previous track visits for the old system, so as long as its lower than those by enough you'll be just fine

 

when is it out next?

[Spiky 37]

100 I think it was, he says it's about 4 db over, got a mate sending me his db tester so will see how it goes

 

Looking to book Combe 31st march

[Spiky 37]

here is an idea of the difference in size of the new and old exhaust

 

[BusEngineer 7]

Great build, and a very enjoyable read

 

Its going to be epic!

[Spiky 37]

the car is taxed again now, so took it out for a little blast, definiatly sounds quieter now, so thats a good thing

afr gauge is looking a little lean to me , so not sure if its the gauge or the map as now it has a 2.5" exhaust

aft was looking around 12.9 from 5500 or onwards, below that it's 12.5

certainly picks up better and pulls well, stack dash now has a peak of 142 and was still pulling (private road test)

I feel your pain on exhaust noise, I'm having issues with the local police at the moment as they want it under 90db. I'm having a 3rd box fitted tomorrow.

[Spiky 37]

On tick over and potting around its silent, it's only higher up the rev range and the fact it has a supercharger that's hurting me, but it's much better now

[Spiky 37]

selling my bullet camera setup, if anyone is interested

[Spiky 37]

Tool the car ti combe last saturday for a sound test

 

At 4500 rev's it was 87dB....... Result

 

Oddly with the 3rd box on it was 88dB ar 4500

 

 

Was getting fed up of untidy dash , so put it back as it was before

 

Possibly get it all flocked later

 

The silver section at the bottom i will wrap soon

 

 

 

[edbar 6]

You even kept the clock! You spec whore you

[Spiky 37]

i know..lol

 

though is handy to have a clock at track days, to actually know what time of the day it is

[edbar 6]

I use the sun to gauge time when im on track that and the fuel gauge lol.

[Spiky 37]

took the car to have it's front end setup

want to have neg 2 camber, and 30 degrees tow out and lots of castor

 

well camber we didnt need to alter as i got it pretty much spot on with my guess

 

tracking is well out...lol

 

using my new camber gauge,

 

passenger side

 

 

drivers side

 

 

 

 

also bought a glove box to tidy up the rest of the dash, need one fitting before i can it it

 

but here a preview

I take it you mean 30 minutes toe out c.3mm not 30 Degrees, would have thought 1.6-2mm would be sufficient, as it may start to pull left and right under power with too much toe out, did when mine had 3-4mm, that was with a quaife diff.

[Spiky 37]

Yeah I did mean 30 minutes

[Spiky 37]

Will see how I get on, can always adjust that quite easy

[edbar 6]

Is that the first set up it has ever had? Cant believe you left it this long lol. Any difference so far?

[Spiky 37]

Isn't 30 minutes about 1mm?

 

 

1 degree is 60 arcminutes.

15" is 381mm

one degree is: 381mm*(tan 1deg)=2.11mm

 

So 1mm= 0deg+28minutes

 

 

 

 

Yeah first proper one and my camber guess was bang on lol

 

I can never get toe right

 

Drives straight with ease, before it didn't feel right

 

See how the track day goes
