#19: Re: Mods vs Maintainance Author: Luke, Location: LeedsPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:05 pm ---- Green Cotton panel filter, performance HT leads, decent spark plugs, new rotor arm and dizzy cap, high grade oil, K&N oil filter, EBC Green Stuff brake pads, new discs and brake fluid, new soft compound tyres, lose the back seats and any excess weight.
That should set you in good stead with just service parts.
#20: Re: Mods vs Maintainance Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:06 pm ---- Luke he doesnt on a porchse
No HT leads, rotor arm or dizzy cap
#21: Re: Mods vs Maintainance Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:11 pm ---- why do you need new brake pad, disc and fluid for 1/4 miles? lol
#22: Re: Mods vs Maintainance Author: Luke, Location: LeedsPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:12 pm ---- Stupid coils! Tells you the last time i did any work on the 206.
Buy some anyway!!
#23: Re: Mods vs Maintainance Author: wardie_206, Location: Rayleigh, essexPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:33 pm ---- accidently drop a 1.6 8 valve in urs, everything will be standard just the engine size has increased :D!!
serious note: all of the above to be fair, try to make it as light as possible and get your start off to a tee.
could also look at taking the restictive part of the airbox off, the part that goes up and over the wheel arch, and putting a small pipe on the bottom of the airbox. might give u a little gain.

He is right. I took that pipe away and ran a plasic pipe to the corner of my bumper over the ledge of the wheel arch, it does give a noticable improvment, cost me £5 for the pipe from B&q. You will need flexi pipe too though for the bend. Don't put it to the front of the bumper though as it just causes over-pressure and makes the fuel run lean. Cotton pannel filter needs to be included with the service. they are only like 30 quid.
I would also lower your tyre pressures a bit
#26: Re: Mods vs Maintainance Author: M60SHW, Location: CarlislePosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:46 pm ---- decent tyres are a must see if you can get some good make part warns for a few quid and a spare set of front wheels to use for race day paint them in luminus green adds 24.3 bhp "proven"
#27: Re: Mods vs Maintainance Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:53 pm ---- why lower the tyre pressure, thts just going to make the tyrs a bit more flat and mean there will be more resistnace. you want to up them a bit if anythinmg as there will be slightly less friction on the road which will help out

wider surface area so they will be grip better on the start.
