#1: 206 GTi track car project Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2021 2:09 pm ---- Hi guys after what has been around 6-7 years i have finally got myself back into 206 ownership.
our last gti was sold on as we were expecting our first child so something a tad more practical was required.
anyway iv had an itch to get into trackdays for a while so started the search or something suitable and not bank breaking to purchase, straight away i just thought id love track a 206 and within 48 hours i had fount a motor under an hour away and at a good price.
so today i headed out did all the relevant checks and struck a deal or £1100 i will be collecting the car next weekend and then the fun can begin.
got alot of plans in the pipeline which will see it into a very capable and fun track car, it will certainly be staying n/a and be an absolute screamer
first jobs are to get it stripped out and fit a set of coilovers

Or copy and paste the link to the post (which I think you did on post #2)

#8: Re: 206 GTi track car project Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Fri Oct 08, 2021 4:26 am ---- Already i have the first few mods arriving, the plan is to get the car stripped/handling/stopping better and give it an extra bit of grunt before getting it out on track asap.
i will then be adding bits as we go to improve things before the big engine build etc
OMP front strut brace arrived earlier this week
BMC cda induction kit should be here within next couple of days
Vmaxx coilovers will be here within next couple of weeks (no stock)
I did a little bit of research on the vmaxx set up and they have got alot of very positive feedback, but rest assured i will be swapping over to a much better known brand down the line and just want to get these on so i can hopefully get a couple of track days in before the year ends.
the next mods will be uprated discs and pads and a short shifter then ill move onto the whole exhaust system
#9: Re: 206 GTi track car project Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Sat Oct 09, 2021 4:25 pm ---- Went to collect the car today and took my main co driver with me, needless to say he approves.
Had great fun coming back and can't wait to get stuck into the task ahead.
When we got home I instantly ordered the following
Going to give the car a little freshen up and also do a coolant change whilst were at it.

hi fella no reason in particular but i did get a very good deal on the uprated one so thought why not.
#12: Re: 206 GTi track car project Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Fri Oct 15, 2021 9:45 pm ---- I managed to get a job squared away early yesterday so come home and had a quick couple hours on the car.
Rear seats etc removed
Spare wheel/Jack removed
BMC cda fitted
New wipers fitted
Cabin filter replaced
All fluid levels checked and sorted
A total of 33.4kg removed from the car, air con to be deleted next which is around 10-11kg and then I'll be looking at polycarb rear 1/4s and rear screen which should be half the weight of the glass.
Anyway here's a few pics.
#13: Re: 206 GTi track car project Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Fri Oct 15, 2021 9:46 pm ---- I have also had a fair few amount of new parts arrived that will be going onto the car soon.
These are the following
Stainless 4-1 exhaust manifold
Lightweight crank pulley
Short shifter kit and uprated fork bush
Steel gear linkage set
Baker engine mount kit
All nice little mods I think you'll agree and will certainly give the car a more positive feel.
Lightweight flywheel will be the next purchase and then it can be fitted the same time as the new clutch
#14: Re: 206 GTi track car project Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Fri Oct 15, 2021 9:49 pm ---- And a couple that my son insisted that I took when we had a little drive upto truckfest in knutsford last weekend.
#15: Re: 206 GTi track car project Author: andy83, Location: stoke on trentPosted: Sun Oct 17, 2021 8:18 am ---- I last night secured a deal on these
we estimate losing another 21-23kg by removing the oe seats and putting these in place
just have the small matter of driving 3hr 20 mins to colchester next weekend to collect them
