#1: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Wed May 05, 2010 2:48 pm ---- Picked up this little beauty last year. Plans are to do a few track days as I build it up and hopefully start rallying again in a few years after a long break.
Started off with a few creaks and knocks so so far has been treated to a reconditioned rear beam. Full set of Mintex discs and pads, new clutch kit, new group A lower wishbones, drop links, top mounts and bearings, new set of T1R's, new engine seals and gaskets.
Old beam:
New seals and Clutch:

I've heard the ATPower bodies aren't great by the way mate
#7: Re: Ste's Project Rally Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed May 05, 2010 3:14 pm ---- The only come from Peugeot Sport normally. I suspect it is possible to make your own, all the are is GTi wishbones with a 2x metal bushes instead of 1x rubber and 1x metal.
#9: Re: Ste's Project Rally Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed May 05, 2010 3:40 pm ---- How much? £157+VAT each? Even with the poor exchange rate they aren't that expensive from Peugeot Sport in France.

#11: Re: Ste's Project Rally Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Wed May 05, 2010 5:02 pm ---- yeah the wishbones are from peugeot sport in France. I have also got the rear tie bars to fit but they will have to wait until Ashley build an exhaust to clear them.

#18: Re: Ste's Project Track Slag Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:12 pm ---- I'll get some pics up when it's back on the track wheels. Still using it as my daily commuter until i sort a new car out.
Ordered this last week. Sportex competition exhaust. Got the mid section and back box this week, the de-cat should come next week as they had to make one.
Need to centre it a bit better :rolleyes:
That's all for now.
#19: Re: Ste's Project Track Slag Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Fri Oct 01, 2010 11:11 am ---- Seats, side mounts and harnesses arrived this week
Also the de-cat got delivered,
And on the same day the steering wheel and boss arrived. I opted for the OMP WRC suede semi dished wheel
#20: Re: Ste's Project Track Slag Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Fri Oct 01, 2010 11:11 am ---- So I started fitting the steering wheel as I'm getting itchy feet with all the goodies building up in the garage and the car not off the road yet to really start work on it.
Bit blurry sorry
Drove to work with it and it feels so much nicer than the standard wheel
Roll on next week when hopefully a nice parcel from custom cages will be delivered.

#23: Re: Ste's Project Track Slag Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 6:00 pm ---- Bit of work on the loom, re-routed with a shorter path to the rear of the car. Original spec goes across the car under both seats then winds back again around the back of the boot. This one is trimmed down as well as having less wires in it. Save save.
Seat mounts. Sits nice on the OE mount points so bars are welded to those. You can also see the loom, now wrapped in kevlar protection.
40mm x 3mm angle iron for the seat mounts.

#26: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 1:55 pm ---- I have no spacers on the front. I'm using Team Dynamics Pro race 1.2 wheels with a 15mm offset.

#28: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Fri Oct 08, 2010 5:43 pm ---- I've hacked the heater box up and got rid of the climate control unit. All the servos have gone and the flaps have been set to demist permenantly. The two wires going to the fan will now be switched via a relay. It is now just on or off which is all I need. I split the unit in two to get the heater matrix out and aircon evaporator. I'll keep the rest as it's really light now.

So in the future if i decide funds allow me to start stage rallying again it's ready set up for it. I know what you mean. It's totally not needed on a track car but I have in the past needed the handbrake to correct a bit of understeer and the gti cable hand brakes are so s**t it was a struggle. With the hydraulic one it makes it so much easier and controlable.

#57: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 6:26 pm ---- When I say lowered 1 notch, I actually meant, the rear ride height was measured, the rear beam stripped, bearings/stub axles checked and greased then reassembled but with a new ride height 30mm lower than previous. I didn't realise that was such a crime! What is the correct way of doing it then?

Its a 350mm OMP WRC. 70mm dish

#59: Re: GTi Track Car Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Fri Oct 22, 2010 4:12 am ---- Cheers mate
To do the ride height correctly you want to:
1. jack the car up at the back.
2.Remove both rear wheels
3. Measure with a tape measure from the center of the rear hub to the middle of the arch and record the measurement.
4.Remove the torsion bar for that side of the car.
5. If you want to lower 30mm then move the rear arm up that amount i.e if it was 150mm you put it up to 120mm from the arch
6. Attempt to slide the torsion bar back into place rotating it one spline at a time as it will only for on the correct rotation.
7. Do the same for the other side of the car.
The rotate one spline damages the bars if you run it like that.
Hope this helps
#60: Re: GTi Track Car Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Fri Oct 22, 2010 7:12 am ---- looks good but surely would of been better to remove the clip on sp arches before painting??
#61: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Fri Oct 22, 2010 9:25 am ---- The arches are bonded on as the wings and rear quarter have been rolled. It's only a track car so I don't want it too mint or I won't drive it hard enough

#63: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 11:42 am ---- Ok, so I tried to start it and it wouldn't. It appears the BSI unit is f****d. Probably due to me cutting so many wires out the loom and alarm. Didn't have any of the functions that the BSI does like wipers, indicators etc.
So I ripped everything out. Every last wire on the car was cut out and I'm starting from scratch with a custom loom I'm going to make.
First off, seeing as I had it in on my shelf at home was fit the OMEX 600. I bought it from Northampton Motorsport at PPC in the Park this summer. I wasn't going to fit it until I started tuning the engine, but what the hell. So called up NM and booked it in next Wednesday to go on the rolling road.
So the past few days I've made the engine loom up. I had the semi assembled loom off OMEX so it was all laid out in the bay, labelled and cut to length. Then the original connectors were soldered onto the loom protected with Raychem DR25 heat shrink and over wrapped with military spec kevlar protection.
I got a wiring diagram for a rally car and bought all new equipment to make the loom. a nice modular fuse/relay box for inside, waterproof main relay box for under the bonnet and loads of high quality toggle switches.
And seeing as the old clocks are as good as useless now I referred to my kit car magazine from last month where they reviewed dash clocks and this unit come out very high. So ordered one of these which should be here tomorrow.
#64: Re: GTi Track Car Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 11:46 am ---- love it! makes me want a project even more!

#66: Re: GTi Track Car Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 1:21 pm ---- Really impressive mate but you have now got me worried as i have cut a lot of wires out of the car aswell. I was going to use the standard stuff to do the lights etc so cut everything else away You dont still have the wiring diagram for the rally car do you? Would you be able to email me a copy?
I looked into the handbrake thing. The blue book doesnt state that you need one however the road traffic act requires you to have a mechanical system and so scrutineers will fail you for not complying to the RTA
#67: Re: GTi Track Car Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 1:55 pm ---- I quite like those clocks? Are they expensive?
#68: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 2:31 pm ---- No, they are really well priced. I had an ETB digi dash lite in my kit car that was £450 but this has the same features minus the GPS and was only £250.
and you can order all the parts from them. I got it all for £230, minus the wire which I've got in stock.

#70: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 10:55 pm ---- Got this done last night. Looks a mess, but once all the wires are present I can then loom them together and wrap them.
The stalk controls for the lights are into the fuse box so they will need connecting up to the front and rear looms.
The wiper stalk is ready to be connected but I need to order more terminals for the fuse box. Stupid me ordered 20 seeing as it's a 20 fuse holder. but each one has two
My wiring diagrams
Centre console switches
It looks a right mess, but I have all the wire i need right to hand

Have you just adapted the basic guides on that site you sent me to the 206 or was there a specific diagram?
Did you manage to get the original terminals apart without breaking them or did you have to buy new ones?

Yeah, I've got the list of all the bits you need to build the loom. The biggest problem I'm facing is the hazard switch. The 206 one doesn't work like the old fashioned style one, it is just a momentary on-off to trigger the bsi. I'm not sure what to do with it yet, still working on that and seeing as I have 6 days till the car has to be running then I'm not too concerned and I'll sort it over the winter.
The only thing i really changed on them diagrams was to ditch the navigator horn switch and change the heated front window to operate the blower on full which I've already butchered and set to blow on the screen. Some terminals come apart ok, some didn't but you have loads left over like the fog like plugs so it's all good. Just buy new pins for them and I've crimped and soldered them. I think it will take me about 4 evenings to do the whole thing from scratch, but I am an aircraft electrician!! so if you can get your head around how to wire it you will be fine.

While you're down there
6kg, bon.
We felt the job of detailing the radiator needed a variety of screwdrivers.
Rear body loom is basically finished now. The observant amongst you will notice that it was originally fitted to the OS with a view to reducing the wire length from the body control unit behind the dash on the OS which then trailed over to the NS before going rearward. Then we realised we could reduce things yet further by re-routing everything NS via the glove-box fuse-box. So this is the final fix now I hope
Window job while we've got the sheet there waiting for the cut. Really nice stuff to work with.
Actually fitted in that last pic, shiny.
Holes are repainted after being drilled, don't worry the door was masked at that time
Other window in tomorrow as well as the backs going back in. Hopefully got some brake pipe jobs on as well if we finally get a bias valve

#101: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 1:14 am ---- Off to Oulton Park now for a track day. Car made 167bhp and 162 lb/ft on the rollers yesterday. Not too shabby for a standard tune engine. Just shows what proper management can do for you.
#102: Re: GTi Track Car Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 4:08 am ---- 167bhp aint too bad for standard no. have fun on the track!
#103: Re: GTi Track Car Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 4:19 am ---- I have a question. Thats KOSO dash is our next project on 206gti. But that speed sensor need a cable operated from gearbox or hall optic sensor installation over wheel hub and a transmiter over brake disc. How did you connect speed sensor ?

This backs up my theory about the new Cat Cams... They boast an increase in power over the standard cams using a piggyback management system. This is the proof that you dont need £400 odd in cams.... Just good management.....

I connected the speed signal wire from my gearbox to the speed sensor input on the dash but it didn't work. To be honest I haven't even had time to get into the settings and set it up so it still may work fine. It wasn't on my list of priorities for getting on track today. The only thing i had working was rev counter and oil pressure light. I'm going to sort all that out over the winter now and get it set up right.
What I can report back from today is that Oulton Park is brilliant fun! The car ran like a dream, the handling was nearly perfect, I had nice lift off oversteer, it was predictable, consistent and fast. Could really feel the difference from when it was in road trim.
The brakes are amazing, even though I had a leak from the bias valve and had to put half a litre of fluid in over the day I can see how people get p**sed off using 4 pots and ds2500's on the road, they are noisy as hell till you get them hot, and once they are, they really bite hard and you are literally held back by the harness.
I'll get some pics up soon

On a differrant note ive just put a sparco race suit up for sale which is ideal for track days and fire proof just incase.
#108: Re: GTi Track Car Author: T_bandery, Location: East londonPosted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 2:46 am ---- Have you done any other engine tweaks or is it just the standalone managment on its own producing more power?
#109: Re: GTi Track Car Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 2:49 am ---- Pics look really good mate!! V tidy car well done
I have just bought the leaxn for my windows. What type of blade did you use to cut it?? Also where did you get the stickrs made up as I have been looking for something similar but cant find anything for a reasonable price.

Just management for now, but it does have a de-cat and competition exhaust.

I used a new "fine wood" blade in the jigsaw. trick is to not let it get hot and start to melt the plastic as you cut it. The stickers we made ourselves. My mate has a vinyl cutter so we borrowed it and already had the designs done off my other mates Puma. These ones are coming off though as they were a rush job and They are going on again but black and red.
Thanks for all the positive comments. Things will calm down for a while now as I have a few other projects on the go that need finishing off over winter but I'll keep this up to date with the engine rebuild.
#113: Re: GTi Track Car Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Thu Nov 18, 2010 4:18 pm ---- Sorry to copy you again but where did you get your dash from? How does the speedo work does it take a signal straight from the gearbox?
#114: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 2:01 am ---- Dash is from www.digitalspeedos.co.uk I haven't got the speedo working yet as I didn't have time before the track day and haven't been in the garage since! If it won't work off the standard speed sensor you can use the one which comes with the dash and just point it at a drive shaft. There are loads of different settings in the dash though depending on what type of speed pulse it receives so it will probably work ok once set up right. I also need to sort the fuel gauge out too, again, probably just needs setting up on the dash.
#115: Re: GTi Track Car Author: st3v3n, Location: Liverpool Drives: 206 GTiPosted: Wed Nov 24, 2010 10:22 am ---- Wheel stud kit arrived from Peugeot Sport a while ago, but only just got round to fitting them. They are far better than wheel bolts and make life so much easier.
Group N competition engine mounts came yesterday so started fitting those. Only doing the top mount and gearbox mount for now as the lower one can be done once the diff arrives and I have the shafts off.
New one on the left old on the right
