#1: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Domparrott, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Fri Oct 28, 2016 10:10 pm ---- Hello all,
I'm new to the peugeot scene, had a variant of different cars in the past, from turbos to v8's but wanted a capable and reliable track car, was originally looking at Clio 182's but fancied being a bit different then come across the Gti 180's.
Spent a few months and a few wasted views looking for a half decent one when I came across this decent Aegean Blue 180. Seemed good enough and was close enough so I brought it, it needed some love but overall was ok.
So plan to start with was to get it back up to a decent standard, changed rear lights back to standard, fix the rear boot lock, etc

#4: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: spud_gti, Location: NottinghamPosted: Sat Oct 29, 2016 7:26 pm ---- You will probably have most things or will be removing some to make it more track friendly but if you need any spares let me know, got a aegean blue 180 im breaking.
Looks lovely though, got some ph2 rear lights if your interested lol.....
#5: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Sun Oct 30, 2016 9:01 am ---- Looks mint fella (especially after your detailing and SP arches), but what happened to your GTi 138?
#6: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: RoweY, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Sun Oct 30, 2016 2:08 pm ---- Looks a cracker mate, you definitely picked the right colour but then i'm a bit bias
#7: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Domparrott, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Sun Oct 30, 2016 9:07 pm ---- Thanks everyone, done quite a bit to it over the last 3 months since I brought it,
changed the rear lights back to standard,
removed all interior,
added 2 bucket seats,
Removed door cards and made replacement blanks
Neaten up all wiring
6point fia approved harnesses,
safety devices cage ( which is actually getting fitted this week)
rear anti roll bar,
gas coilovers,
15" track wheels and ad08r tyres,
yellow stuff pads all round,
5.1 brake fluid and drained out all old fluid, ducts to cool front brakes as found they fade under constant breaking while on track
Looking at fitting a 19 row oil cooler when back from getting cage fitted

The 138 Gti I used for one track day, decided I loved it but needed a 180, so sold on eBay and replaced with the 180 when a nice one came up

There's my cage all ready to go, hopefully that's in by the end of the week as at Bedford autodrome on Saturday!
#10: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Oct 31, 2016 6:56 am ---- Wind deflectors on a track car? Wheel arch extensions need to come off too.
#11: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Mon Oct 31, 2016 7:30 am ---- Looks very tidy!! But is true what Edward said as well as cooling efficiency through that SP grille as per my concern here: www.206info.co.uk/Foru...tml#653095
But probably you want to keep balance between looks and tracks
Will definitely be interested in your lap times and how they improve in months to come!

That was Gaz
And I am busy reading up on it and drawing more ideas.
I start to understand what Gazza was saying and I do agree with him. Hence I am going to make a custom shroud likely which covers most of the bay (even more than the current one). Still thinking and learning on the best way to do it.
Also want to make a duct from the front to the inlet; to provide additional cooling directly on the inlet itself.
#13: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Oct 31, 2016 8:29 am ---- Has it got one of those clamp on rear ARBs on it?
#14: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Domparrott, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Mon Oct 31, 2016 10:44 am ---- The deflectors came on the car but is nice to have the windows cracked open while on track, as I believe your not supposed to have windows open while on track.
At present it's a hobby track car and I've only done 2 track days in it, I am trying new things as I go, my most recent add was the brake ducts as first time I used it I noticed the fade as they got up in temps.
Yeah it had a white line clamp on rear arb .
#15: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: pAvax, Location: EssexPosted: Mon Oct 31, 2016 12:05 pm ---- Get plastic windows with the slides you can open. Also takes weight down, as glass is heavy. Poly carbs are about 70 quid I believe.
#16: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Oct 31, 2016 2:21 pm ---- Starting to look very good, im hopefully out in mine on the 9th of November at snett if your about!

I was going to look into these over the winter, any names of company's ? Thanks
#19: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Domparrott, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Mon Oct 31, 2016 8:48 pm ---- Just finished photos of pre cage prep, removed the small amount of sound deadning from the rear footwells so I can get the floor painted once back.... and to save a couple kg's haha

I will be sure to get some decent pics up, the mounting points are front floor roughly inline with edge of dash, back of rear footwells and third of way down boot floor. Will report back at end of week with plenty of snaps

No sorry, only what Google tells me. They don't fit my car, so never really looked into them I am afraid. I only know of them and that at times they are required.
#22: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: PezHdi, Location: ShrewsburyPosted: Tue Nov 01, 2016 10:31 pm ---- Do you weigh all the black tar stuff next to the coke can?
Looks good so far.
#23: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Nov 02, 2016 5:11 am ---- Still got all the air con stuff fitted? That's 10kg.

Sorry to hijack!
Removing the air con stuff... does that trigger any issues with computer/BSI systems?
#25: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Nov 02, 2016 9:44 am ---- Not on my non multiplexed car it didn't. All the wiring was also stripped back to the ECU to tidy it up.

Awesome.
As it will get rid of a radiator too, so space for a pulling fan. Who needs an aircon in a convertible anyways?
Will consider this as an opportunity too. Thank you Edward.
Edit: And thank you Pez! Seems like a nice next step to tidy stuff up and increase my mpg Last edited by pAvax on Wed Nov 02, 2016 11:12 am; edited 1 time in total
#27: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: PezHdi, Location: ShrewsburyPosted: Wed Nov 02, 2016 11:11 am ---- Iv removed the air con and all gubins on my HDI and had no issues or warnings and that's a multi plexed pAvax.

Keep the standard fan. It won't leave room for a different fan.
#29: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Domparrott, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Thu Nov 03, 2016 8:36 pm ---- Just been and collected the car, too dark to take pics of all of it so took a few snaps of the welding just to show you all, will take some better ones tomorrow.

I would recommend tylah motorsport. If you look on Facebook the guy builds and fits them for a living. Great work!
#36: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sun Jan 29, 2017 10:33 am ---- did you pain the inside of the car? been thinking about what's best way to do this
#37: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Domparrott, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Sun Jan 29, 2017 10:59 am ---- As yet I haven't painted them, I intend to strip the car out and pint all floor pan black just having the time to do it that's all
#38: Re: 206 Gti 180 Track car project Author: Domparrott, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Wed Dec 06, 2017 5:39 pm ---- Been a long while since been on here, loads has changed and plenty of use too,
adjustable top mounts, lowered rear, gaz shocks reconditioned, cage is in, seats lowered and plenty of track days complete
