[trackday_prep] My 205 GTI-6 Supercharged Track Car

[welshpug 1,661]

depends how big your wheels are

[Toddy 7]

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

See how the track day goes

 

Tan 1 degree 0.01746 x 190.5 = 3.3mm

 

3.3mm x 2 = 6.6mm

 

Toe measured by the difference between the front and rear of the wheels overall

 

Assuming you are on 15 inch rims

By the way, do you know the exact maximum amount of camber those top mounts can give?

 

I'm trying to figure out if they can successfully reduce the positive camber GTI-6 hubs give on a 205.

[Spiky 37]

I don't know sorry, as I get most of my neg camber from my adjustable wishbones

Here are some videos from the day at combe

 

[Spiky 37]

Just uploading a video i found from donington 2011, it was the first outing with thre SC kit and the exhaust was 110dB, hence the short shifting down the pit straight

 

[Spiky 37]

put the 205 on the rollers to make sure everything is ok with it, fueling wise.

 

probably a good thing really as the pump in the tank looks to be on its way out, so need to get a replacement, ready for combe next week,

 

still made pretty good power, run was aborted at just onver 6500

 

power was 268 and 221 torque

Whereabouts are they Steve?

[Spiky 37]

western industrial estate in caerphilly

 

1/2 mile from british airways (now gaes)

[Spiky 37]

Took the pug to PUGFEST today, first Peugeot day i've been too, and i've had the car 5 1/2 years,

 

was supprisingly small, was expecting to see hundreds of cars, but turn out was quite low,

 

car was ok, did get hot on 3rd run, but found my exp cap is knackered and not holding pressure and lost a little water, still got me home ok though, ( what a great little car)

 

here are some Pictures and videos I took from the day

[Spiky 37]

[Spiky 37]

a little oops at 2m05...lol on session 3

 

A LITTLE oops.... quite a biggy if you ask me.

 

To much rear brake pressure?

 

What tyres where you on?

 

The passenger in the last video is now saving for a SC kit...

[Spiky 37]

Yeah guess it wasnt a small one

 

Passenger loved it, was supprised the power it had

 

Yeah bias not set quite right and possible turned while still on the brake( unsure though)

 

I have a ap racing brake bias but it's the turn knob type, so going to sell that now and get the ap racing lever type so I can see what the bias is set to easier

[Spiky 37]

My tyres are Dunlop sport wets

[Spiky 37]

decided to paint part of the rear hatch, as there was too much white

 

and paint around the window edge to tidy it up a little

 

what you think?

 

[Spiky 37]

here are my vids from rally day on the weekend

[Spiky 37]

[Spiky 37]

little update, as Inot really touched the car since it's last outing in august last year.

 

notthing wrong with car, just no time with kids, house, and cold weather,

 

decided to replace a few part like track rod's and rod ends, drop links and new rose joints on front wishbones

 

put a new expansion bottle on

 

and paint up the wishbones, anti roll bar and strut brace as they all looking a bit long in the tooth

 

here is a few pics of how the car is at the moment, will drop the bits off for painting this week, clean up the front struts and fit it all back on and get it back on the road and book up a track day
