106 Track Toy

[Nathan1305]

sounds good! I am starting to work on my centre console for my clocks. already did a bit of trimming down so that the chairs don't hit it.

Nice I'll keep an eye on your project thread :)

So not really any progress since my last post due to work and not having much money for parts. Most of my parts will be bought febuary onwards as I'm treating the 306 to some avo coilovers and Bosch pump so will have more 106 progress in the next month onwards. End of febuary I will have my new GTi rear beam and 50mm lowering springs. And end of this month I will have the plastic to make my door cards and a couple of blanking panels :) 

I actually made a start on your axle today :)

Sweet! Put some pics up on here if you like be nice to see the progress on it :)

Sweet mate 

I'll be at action day so get some pictures of you on track and if your on different times you could use my go pro if you pop in your own sd card in.

Just read the whole thread, so.e great advice here in track prepping the car. I have just bought a 6 purely for track use so have subscribed to this for reference. I'm recovering from my operation at the moment but give it a week or so and I'll be cracking on. Just ordered brembo discs all round, ds2500 pads and mocal oil cooler. Good luck with it

So got a set of wheels for the 106 super cheap they are raptors off the GTi and are actually really light all tires are good which is a bonus.

And to make things a million times better I was given these Silverstone semi slicks for Free! These are just under £500 new! They have a little life in them so will be great for FCS this year! Really happy with them

Any tips of getting the spare wheel cage out? I can't unhook it so is it easier to cut the bar and unhook it that way

[procta]

never removed one, is it not bolted into something on one side, or something?

Possibly I'll have to have a better look tomorrow, need to see what's next to do now

[Toms306]

If its like the 306 one, there is a 13mm bolt holding a plate on the 'non hook' side of the cage. It will be rusty as hell and probably shear off...

Ah fair enough if it shears off then I'm cutting it out haha 

[Toms306]

Make sure you spray it with penetrating fluid first, should be ok, I've only sheared one so far lol.

Yeah it should be fine, more weights coming out  only bad thing is it's getting higher as it gets lighter haha

Nice one with the free bee's

Careful driving in the rain,if they not warmed up.

Yeah I'll most probably get another set of rims so I can change at track if needs be 

[7057sam]

Ah ok maybe get a set of studs and nuts will definitely make changing wheels that little but quicker and easier and of course more RACECAR

That's the plan not sure what stud length is needed or how to work it out
