Thanks man
I'm really happy with the progress. Want to do a single wiper conversion but struggling to find an AX wiper mechanism

Still trying to work out a plan for that, riveting in a panel is the easy option. Other option is to get a non-sunroof skin. Not sure how easy that would be. I've seen a few pop up on Facebook but not very often.

I managed to single wiper mine with the standard mechanism and some playing. I went mental on the weight loss thing. Lol

Yeah looking at options now, probably just hold out till I see an AX being broken. Feel a lot better progressing with this car over the old one

Carbon Roof skin, You know it needs doing

I would absolutely love one but over £1000 for one isn't cheap haha. Found a new skin for sale for £150 considering it but it's 4 hours away

Nathan, what the metro cup lads do, is buy a second hand sunroof, and rob it for its fittings. They cut a piece of alu or sheet of steel, the same shape and size as the sunroof panel and install the fittings off the sunroof. Then fit the panel in place.

Yeah it seems like the cheapest option, tempted to cut some carbon to shape and making a insert for it and just bond it in
RE: 106 Track Toy - 306Dan - 24-06-2015
I saw on one thread a guy got a piece of 10mm thick lexan and had a grove machined in all the way round that matched the sunroof lip

That's a pretty clever idea. Really trying to figure out what would be best. I can get hold of a non sunroof skin but will be quite pricy to get it fitted and sprayed
RE: 106 Track Toy - 1616six - 24-06-2015
Sheet of metal, tiger seal & a rivet gun. Get it done.

do it, as it would look neat!

seen that done too, looks a bit shoddy if you ask me, but if your not planning on removing the sunroof ever again, then tiger seal that bastard in place.

skins are easy to change on them, they are spot welded down through the channel and it lifts out.

RE: 106 Track Toy - Matt-Rallye - 25-06-2015
Pics aren't working for me
but i was really impressed with this little car when nathan popped over to mine! i have always had 106 gti's and this is definitely a good one 
Regarding the 8k limiter, that's just a soft unlocked ECU with a raised limit. standard limiter is 7200 and they can take the 8k limit if your not on it 24/7
The MA box is adequate if you have some mechanical sympathy! BE conversions are incredibly expensive but do-able
Nathan if its of interest too you i have some polybushed wishbones and polybushed rear axle mounts
should eliminate your wandering feeling! Always welcome to come down and use the workshop, doesn't take long to strip and fit them

I really do love it and it must have that because it reaches 8k pretty easily. I'm definitely interested in those wishbones! If you could message me some pics and details on Facebook that would be appreciated
RE: 106 Track Toy - Nathan1305 - 25-06-2015
Took more of the sound deadening out today
these things are right lady gardens to get off just the passenger side to get off now Only thing I'm struggling with is someone has glued the badge on previously and struggling to get the glue off. Any ideas on how to remove it?
RE: 106 Track Toy - Matt-Rallye - 26-06-2015
Just like i said mate, tiny amount of petrol on a rag too remove the glue then wash and polish bootlid!

Yeah I used a glue remover and the 106 badge came off fine it's seems like someone used actual glue for this one the glue residue is solid I got a bit off and it chipped some of the clear coat

Only if you buy a proper cage to weld in at the same time!
Do you really need a smaller battery? for now couldnt you use the money else where and it have a better effect on the car? Even a micra battery would be a cheaper alternative for now after all you do weight the same as a leaf!

Haha I guess so, what would you do next?
So the time has come, I've got the wheels I've been after for ages! They are pug fitment which is even better so no spacers needed! I got these for an awesome deal, just swapped my purple sleels and £70 his way and they were mine
tyre wise they have 2 Proxes 4 which are close to limit and 2 new budgets. I'm really happy with them. Need a clean and eventually a refurb. RE: 106 Track Toy - Stef205 - 26-06-2015
save it for a set of wheels some correct fitment ones no spacers etc Decent tyres, suspension etc

Look at my post just before yours
so decent wheels are covered. It has GAZ coilovers upfront already. I'll be getting GAZ adjustable rears to go on your beam. So just decent tyres and rear shocks are needed
RE: 106 Track Toy - Stef205 - 26-06-2015
ah must of posted at the same time haha. Brakes either upgrade your pads and discs or fit some 6 calipers like we did on ours.

I've got gti6 brakes already
but the discs and pads could do with upgrading to be fair. Not as powerful as my 306 ones
RE: 106 Track Toy - Stef205 - 26-06-2015
ive great success with brembo max discs or even plain brembo tbh i use them on my 4 pots
