i brought a 206 rc from work that was the old security car. it didnt have the proper interor but had only done 10000 km. so when we now to the new bulidings i brought the car and stared to make it in to a track car.

i sorted out some wheels and tyers, lowered on ebaick springs,lowered rear, ds 3000 front pads and removed air resontor an had a cold air feed from the fog light to the bottem of the stander air box with k n panal filter.
i then took it too snetterton and malloy park.

lol well i said it dint have no inteor so most of it is from the scrappy. it came from the factory an was never supsos to be jused on the road so security used it then they moved an i got parked up an the inteor went missing an wheels swapped. lol. the car has changed a lot since the pictuers.

A hell of a lot seemed to get changed for it being used at a security car then. Even the steering wheel got put on the wrong side Laughing

umm.. why did the car have the wrong alloys and interior? did the company spend money to make it worse?

The engine isn't the same as my 180 either...

Doesn't look like a gti180 engine to me either oil cap is in the wrong place for a start. The button that locks and puts the hazards on is just a single were rc/180 has two buttons. Steering wheel looks wrong.

lol so he tried to make it sound better than it is?

Oh well, with enough additions, you'll come close to the 180, then surpass it!
Keep it up because it looks really good. It's just a shame you lied/didn't realise about the RC thing.

thats what the 180/rc engine looks like without the engine cover on Smile
think all the trim and stuff is mismatched because it was an internal car just used on site there was quite a few at the old factory when i went there on a college trip years ago Smile

Silver centre console and lack of spoiler gives it away too.

I also really like the door cards! Very Happy DS3000 pads are also the way forward - shame they're not recommended for road use! Laughing

Hi. Which suspension do you have. Is it AST coilover. And what is brake disc size of ap racing calipers. Do you have closer pictures of brakes.

no it has leda suspension 350lbs front an peugeot sport 23mm tb. the brakes are 330mm.

the interior is wrong becaus it was nicked when i was at the factory donig nothing. so the wrong trim is just from the scrappy lol.
Any way i'v bin bussy over the winter fitting throttle bodies. all the orginl wireing has ben removed and wired from scratch to a DTA s60 ecu. stll needs a few bits finshing off.

Hi Simon.

Very good project. Please update constantly.

How did you convert your wheel nuts to bolts. I wanna do that but as you know standart peugeot nuts for rc wheels is slightly different. They have a washer on nuts. I think without this washer maybe wheel get in damage around nut holes.
#25: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventry PostPosted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 11:12 am
    ----
The studs are from pug sport and the nuts have a flat face with a built in washer. I dont know realy i haw done all the wiring myself but it stll need a few little bits befor its finshed (rad, oil cooler, fuel/brake lines, airbox) so i havent worked it out.

#27: Re: RC track car (update) Author: Edward, Location: In the garage PostPosted: Tue May 03, 2011 1:51 pm

I missed this topic. Don't know why people would think it's not a 180 because you can see the VVT solenoid and the oil drain from the end of the head too.

The brakes look lovely. The AP Racing websire says the brakes will fit behind standard 16" wheels but they looks quite tight behind the 17" wheels.

What length trupets are you fitting to the bodies? I've got 50mm trumpets at the moment but I want to go for some 90mm trumpets with a custom shorter radiator.

i had the brakes custom made they are 330mm discs i dont think they would fit under 16's. the trumpets are 30mm i think i'm goning to try them an see how they work first. i will get a pictuer of them with my custom rad.

Jenvey website wrote:


What is the correct overall system length?

A guide figure, from the face of the trumpet to the centre of the valve head is 350mm for a 9,000 RPM engine. Other RPM are proportional i.e. for 18,000 RPM the figure is approximately 175mm.

ye i have seen this, i think my setup has a total lenght of 340-330mm. So was think of trying 70mm trumpets i will have a play with them when its on the rollers so i can see how much difrence it makes.

Just looking at your ITG filter. What sort of back plate does it use? A flat one or the deeper box like plate? How much clearance is between it and the power steering pump?

Do you have any pictures?

no it dosent use one, it has four holes in the back of it an you strech them over the bell mouths. Not perfect but there good for tight spaces.

Good effort..... but it seems a little shy on the power for this set-up. I would have expected over 200HP.... probably looking for 205-210 realistically. What Management are you using??
#51: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventry PostPosted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 12:21 pm

It's on DTA Management, its still on the standard exhaust and i think the trumpets are a bit short. An you know how different rollers can be in there readings.
#52: Re: RC track car (update) Author: macj, Location: Essex PostPosted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 12:49 pm

Try 90mm trumpets and a four branch manifold.... The exhaust will not give you the extra but the trumpets will modify the way the power comes

When you mean standart exhaust is the cat still fitted. Smile Please install MADAC Group N style exhaust. Or straight pipe and freeflow backbox.

Don't you need a 2.5" exhaust system for over 200bhp? What size is the standard system?
#56: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventry PostPosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 3:22 pm

The standard 180 system is about 62mm O/D (2.44") so it’s not far off, i am thinking of a new exhaust an manifold any way.

106 power steering fitted, very similar feel to original pump just need tidying up now.

Nothing wrong with the standard ex manifold. Mine made 202bhp with 90mm. My exhaust was a 2.75" downpipe going into a ashley 2.5" group N system. I'd change your exhaust first.

I think 106/Saxo pump will be heavy on parking moves with 17 alloys.

I will let you know what its like with heavy wheels, as ive done the conversion too (but with a saxo unit (same difference))

Im running 17" RH ZW1's (8j fronts) and weigh an absolute bomb Laughing

Ye the pump is very simple feed an earth with a relay, that’s the reason I choose it over a 307 or 206 pump and there cheap.

The inlet manifold has a bend in so it misses the PAS pump which isn’t the best design, I’m getting a new exhaust over the winter so just thought about an ex manifold as well.

It’s not heavy at all when parking possibly a little lighter
#62: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventry PostPosted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:10 pm

i have found that the downpipe/ cat is only 2" i.d so i am going to change this to 2.5" i.d as i think its holding it back abit, and new exhaust cat back aswell. ill let you know if it helps
#63: Re: RC track car (update) Author: Edward, Location: In the garage PostPosted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:46 pm

Sounds like a decent idea. I believe for 200bhp you need a minimum of 2.5". There was a feature in a magazine I have that states the required exhaust sizes for particular power outputs.

Could that Saxo PAS pump have sat on a bracket on top of the gearbox mount? Would mean there would be no need for drilling the car for a new mount.
#64: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventry PostPosted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:48 pm
    ----
ye hopefully, would like a proper manifold like yours really but I think a diff would make a bigger difference for the price.

Ye I think you probably could mount it there and just get the original pipes modified to suit. That’s where the coil is on mine so had to go sum where else so put it down low to keep the weight low to the ground

A couple of interesting articles on exhausts and manifolds for power outputs, do these figures agree with those in your magazine?

It was in Practical Performance car ages ago. I'll dig through my archives and see if I can find it. If I remember correctly it was written by an engineer who works for Jaguar.

Just looking at your 106 pas pump if you've converted to the elec pump why have you still got the old one piped up? As I thought the elec ones have there own resivor? Or has it been taken out after your up date?

As I'm planning on doing the same but just need some info before I order the bits
#69: Re: RC track car (update) Author: simpsonrc, Location: coventry PostPosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:02 pm

I’m not using the electric pump yet as I haven’t changed my inlet manifold so I left mechanical pump on whilst I was testing the electric one. The electric pump works well and is all ready to go when/if I change the manifold.

spike_202, there’s some pictures of the rad mounting a few pages back.

Did you have a change to compare Quaife and Gripper ? I have quaife but i really want plate type lsd. And which brand of flywheel. Is this from pug1off ?

It had a standard diff before so can’t compare. The flywheel is from TTV I think it’s the same as the pug1off flywheel just much cheaper if you buy it direct from TTV

yer i had a good look mate thanks just looking around for a rad for mine atm, i have a pug1off L&B fly wheel on mine, had it put on when they did all my work.

also i don't suppose you could give me the measurements for your rad would you mate? as im trying to get one that fits under the trumpets

Spike hope you got the rad sorted

After two track days this year I think the car needs to lose some weight so I have made a new back box and got some TD 1.2 wheels. The original back box was 15KG an my new one is under 5kg. The new wheels a about 3kg lighter each so that’s a good saving on un sprung weigh. Hopefully I should have some plastic windows soon an the passenger seat will be removed. Not got any good pictures yet though.

The gripper diff is brilliant by the way.

Nice project... Sorry to hijack, but looking for uprated drop links for my own 180 and rather than p*ss in the wind with the universal jobs, can you let me know where you got yours from...

Many thanks

Thanks. The drop links were custom made, there only a bit of aluminium bar with threads tapped in the ends then some male rose joint bearings wound in. They don’t last very long though.

beware of those TD 1.2 pro; they tends to crack quite often

Ye I heard that some of the old ones cracked but I’ve also seen the standard 180 wheels crack and the 207 GT wheels crack. I think they be ok lots of people use them in competition and there should be no potholes on the track.

What size wheels an tyres are you using and how low is the car?
When you wired up the ECU to the race tech dash via can, does this use the normal connection which is used for mapping or can you still connect up a laptop and map the car with the dash working?

I saw you racing at combe on Saturday in the tin tops and it looked good.

17 x 7 wheels and 205/40/17 tyres standard gti 180 size

The dash is wired to the ecu’s can stream (2 wires) so you can still map through the rs232 port (like normal) with the dash working. You can use rs232 port to run the dash as well but then you cannot map it with the dash working.

Thanks mate was my first race, all went well just a few things need sorting an need to practice the pit stop lost so much time there

Thanks for the reply. Do you have the ecu reading all settings sunch as water/oil temp and engine/car speed or do you take some data from the ecu (revs etc) then wire others directly to the dash? To connect car speed did you have to rig up a new sensor or use existing? Do you also have the race technology data logger connected up to the dash?
Sorry for all the questions just been looking to do this but not found much info on fitting to a 206.

Cheers

Just looking through the thread (can now see pictures on home omp) what radiator and oil catch tank have you used?
Are you still running a cat in the exhaust?

Cheers

Why don't your drop links last long? Have you made them shorter to accomodate the lower ride height?

Revs, oil presser, oil temp, speed, air temp, coolant temp, battery voltage, throttle position are all wired to the ECU that then sends them via the 2 can wires to the dash. The fuel gauge and indicator signals are wired straight to the dash. I use one of the original wheel speed sensors at the back and a converter to convert the signal to digital (like a Hall Effect sensor) this then goes the ecu where you can set it up an use it for launch control and a speedo. No I don’t use a dater logger. It doesn’t make any difference on what car it is if all of the standard wiring/ECU’s have been removed. The rad and the catch tank have both been custom made. Yes It still has the standard cat.

Andrew

Yes they are slightly shorter but they are also adjustable. They work well but you do get a small amount of play in the rose joints but this does not affect the performance of them, I don’t think they would last very long a on a road car because they have no rubber boots to keep the grease in an the dirt out. But you could probably fit some

I’m using the standard tank and pump with fuel line inside the car, It works well as long as it has at least 3L In the tank to stop it getting fuel starvation.

A few pictures from Castle Combe, qualified 12th and finished 17th had a terrible pit stop an then the interior mirror fall off which made It very difficult to drive as it was getting stuck under the pedals.

Who ended up making your custom rad? Does it have the inket/outlet in the same position but lower? Interested in one for mine and if someone already has template would save effort.

A local rad place made mine, the inlet an outlet are on the N/S. Just tell them what size you need and how you going to mount it an they will make it for you

No videos yet.

I had some top hat shape spacers made that fit inside the towing eye then just bolted the strap to the spacer through the towing eye

Nice! wonder why they used an 206 rc for security! Very Happy

You may laugh but my mrs got her 206 from andrews family garage in coventry and when its really dirty you can vaguely see securicor on the drivers door,so there must some use other than womens shopping cars!!!!

Have you got rid of the front crossmember all together? Of so was it for weight saving or ease of fitting the rad and cooler. This looks like a very good project. I hope mine gets to his standard soon. Just without the trumpets.
