[trackday_prep] My 205 GTI-6 Supercharged Track Car

[Spiky 37]

Ordered. Set of hubs off here now

 

As for wheels, think they 7", they are et 15

[Spiky 37]

Car is all ready for it's MOT next week

 

well apart from some road tyres as i dont think the slicks would go down to well

 

[Spiky 37]

need a new mechanic, this one is always slacking

 

[Spiky 37]

took the 205 for an mot today, and to say i was nervous was an understatement

 

it did seem to cause a little attention at first, well, as soon as the mot tester removed the bonnet ...lol

 

stayed with the car the whole time as i getting paranoid now

 

indicators decided to randomly stop working ...DOH, thankfully was was a wiring plug, so will remove that

 

he found a loose nut on the bottom rose joint... OOOPS,

 

but it Passed and what a relief,

 

went to post office and got it taxed

 

fully road legal now

 

 

took the mrs our and she crapped her self....lol so thats was fun

 

roll on the 23rd now

[dcc 855]

here is a badly film'd video of the 205

 

but you get the idea

 

bit of slow lauch at 4m20'ish but fairly impressive

I was only counting in my head, but was that sub 5 seconds to 60?

[Spiky 37]

On a atop watch it is low 4, might try launching it one day and see what I can do

 

Also I'm running a 2" exhaust at the mo so not full power

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

Awesome

 

I gotta go out in it at Donington!

[Alastairh 47]

That isn't slow. Good work!

[rusrallye 1]

very nice spikey, pretty sure i already said this on six forum :lol

 

That isn't slow. Good work!

 

Alastairh, if you could reply to me im starting to getting desperate for the torsion bars now

[Spiky 37]

yeah i'm on a few forums

[Masekwm 2]

Spiky, how do you run the charger pulley? Have you had to change the alt tensioner set up back to standard?

[Spiky 37]

well not dont much as i got married last month, so proper skint..lol

 

still not sorted an exhaust yet,

 

been getting some quotes, but as no one can gaurantee it will be quiet I'm a little worried of spending so much

 

decided to add a light weigh to the car now

 

if anyone has some of the missing parts of the central dash i would happy purchase them off them

I can probably get you the dash parts from my local scrappy, and post them to you with my loom if you can do it for me

[joel2005 0]

I,m going tomorrow and they have a complete cabriolet in.

[Spiky 37]

Be great if you can get the parts

[joel2005 0]

Went back to the scrappy today, and the only parts that are gone are the bits you want and the mirrors,sorry .

[mattg 3]

Having done my first trackday in my Pug on Friday i've gone from thinking about leaving it standardish to a few google searches, to this thread and now quite a large shopping list.

 

This thread is inspirational, superb build and spec!

[Spiky 37]

Cheers

 

Saved pretty much enough for the exhaust now, so will get it booked in, in January

[rallyeash 155]

torque technique?

[Spiky 37]

planning on using local company "PROSPEED" as it makes it easier if i need to makes changes and my mates know them, plus the idea he has is ideal

[welshpug 1,661]

sideways silencer?

 

Heard good about Charlie at Prospeed, pretty local

[Spiky 37]

no, normal exit,

 

just the way we going to mount the box underneath and the size

 

it wont be like an OE setup

 

nothing fancy, just getting the biggest size box i can under the boot floor
