What tyres is it runinng? If track spec, might not want to use it as a daily.
It's running Toyo Proxes 4. Really good tyres, I was hammering it into roundabouts and it just kept finding grip

Also they a hell of alot cheaper and widely available second hand
Yeah 15" 1.2's is what I'm after but love these wheels, fill the arches nicely
RE: 106 Track Toy - Eeyore - 12-06-2015
Looks good. Glad youre happy with it. So what exactly are the plans? track or fast road?

Thanks man
and to be honest I'm not 100% sure at the moment. Thinking fast road because I enjoy driving so much. That way I can just swap the car on my policy and enjoy it for a while then go back to the DT. Not stripping it out as much as the other one
RE: 106 Track Toy - Nathan1305 - 13-06-2015
De-wipered the car today
makes the back look a lot cleaner, next is to de badge the back. Still unsure how much I'm gonna strip probably just carpet and head liner and go from there[attachment=23766]
Also trying to figure out what the wheels are from. They're 16" Michelin wheels

RE: 106 Track Toy - Dum-Dum - 13-06-2015
They aren't the same as what ZX Volcane is running if they are stamped michelin.
Could be an older version of them i suppose, what do the rest of the markings say?

Mostly just numbers I'll have to have a proper look at them, I like them anyway
have 4 almost new Toyo Proxe 4's on them. Just need to find some 1.2's for the right price
RE: 106 Track Toy - Anton - 13-06-2015
If they're 16 inch they're not C5's....
RE: 106 Track Toy - Dum-Dum - 13-06-2015
Some C5s came with 16" steels but they arent the lightweight alloy steels.
RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 13-06-2015
nice to see you finally have it! I bet you have had some right old fun with it!

Yeah I think they are just standard 16" C5 wheels. Kinda weighty but oh well

Definitely! Used half a tank in a couple of days
luckily only takes like £40-£50 to fill it up haha
RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 13-06-2015
be only a 30 litre tank or something, mine takes about that too to fill it up.

Yeah well worth it
the smiles per gallon are off the chart. Probably take the carpet and headliner out tomorrow

Yep! Was contemplating using it as a daily but I don't think it's feasible haha so will have it as a fast road/track car. That way I can still use it on the road if I want to
RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 13-06-2015
no harm in having it as a back up mind, my little egg beater is there for a back up in case all else fails.

Yeah I was thinking I could just switch the car on my current policy like I've currently done
I'm gonna be using this as a daily for about a month before going back to the 306
RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 13-06-2015
I tell you what, you will forget what the 306 is like to drive! I did last year, after nearly a good month!

Will probably feel like a boat to drive
tempted to change the beam tomorrow
RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 13-06-2015
for me the 306 was like a Rolls Royce, after stepping back into it. I did miss it mind, even though the egg beater is a scream to drive.

Yeah I'm having a blast with it. Found something useful if you hoon it past kids on scooters they scream
gotta love a 3" pugsport
RE: 106 Track Toy - Nathan1305 - 14-06-2015
So made some progress with the car today, sadly found rust on the front right arch which I'm sure can be fixed?
[attachment=23795]
On the plus side I've stripped the carpet and sound deadening out
saved a good few kilos the sound deadening alone weighs 5kg[attachment=23796]
Also really happy with the engine. Good strong pull and oil cap and cams look really healthy

RE: 106 Track Toy - procta - 14-06-2015

Yeah I swapped it for a trailer in the end
RE: 106 Track Toy - Nathan1305 - 16-06-2015
Gave it a bit of a clean today
went round all the seals as well as they were covered in dirt. Going to clean all the inside just before Pugfest. Loads of dirt and rubbish that was under the carpet. Luckily now I can just scrub it down with a wet sponge now it's a pare interior so easy to keep clean[attachment=23831]
