Probably just pop rivet them and when I eventually get poly windows I'll bond some new door cards in

As for the boot, id leave it as it is. As you may want to be in there to put your wheels in the boot. Some racers I have seen have left theirs a lone, and fitted pins for the regs. But it all depends on how far you are going to go with this.
As you could buy little rubber grommets and fill in the holes. In side the car.

ebay will be your best bet, give the breaker a email and ask. they could even do you a discount on a second set too.

I'll have to mail a few Smile want some 106 xsi wheels for it. 

RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 06-03-2015

Could come in handy when it's parked up actually. That way I can have the raptors and a set of xsi wheels for track tyres Smile

RE: 106 Track Toy - Stef205 - 06-03-2015

I'm dying to put it on lol need a rear brake setup and some front lowering springs

RE: 106 Track Toy - Dum-Dum - 07-03-2015

For securing the door cards rivets will be the lightest and cheapest but self tapping metal screws like I used on my GTi6 is the easiest if you ever need to get behind it.

Yeah I ordered some rivets on eBay Smile got a decent rivet gun here so will secure it that way. Hope they get delivered soon. Can't wait to get them on.

Brakes are next then suspension and seats.

Stripping the car has made it super high haha, it's defying gravity

RE: 106 Track Toy - Eeyore - 10-04-2015

Thanks man, yeah I'll be at Action day Smile

RE: 106 Track Toy - Stef205 - 10-04-2015

Is that with the new axle on?

(10-04-2015, 07:10 PM)Stef205 Wrote: Is that with the new axle on?

Not yet, need front lowering springs first. Think I'm gonna get 60mm lowering springs to hopefully match the back 

RE: 106 Track Toy - Nathan1305 - 14-04-2015

So buying lowering springs today but undecided weather to go 50mm or 60mm lower. Now it's stripped it's sitting very high. I measured the gap between the arch and tyre and it's around 90mm so what springs would you put on it? 

RE: 106 Track Toy - Dum-Dum - 14-04-2015

I suppose it depends how low you want it.

Have you considered coilovers?

Bit pricey at the moment thinking of dropping it about 50mm when I get a cage it will add a bit of weight so will drop the suspension slightly 

RE: 106 Track Toy - Dum-Dum - 15-04-2015

Cage is only about 25kg though mate, put 25kg of weight on the back seats and see how much it changes (2 alloys with tyres will be close to 25kg)

Personally I'd be going for the 60mm

Good point, I'll get 60mm apex springs

I bought half-decent coilies needing a refurb for £180, refurbed them for about £80. So that's £260, a half-decent shock and spring set will cost you more than that new...

Gone for just springs for now then I can develope it more over time. Hoping to get it all fitted for FCS. Need 266mm brakes and rear disk setup
