106 Track Toy

[Nathan1305]

As I've said to you in person, awesome car

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

I d definitely stick with 15's if you going to run track tyres  which are thicker(probably still scrub them)

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

[Eeyore]

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 

[Nathan1305]

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

Also trying to figure out what the wheels are from. They're 16" Michelin wheels

[Dum-Dum]

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

If they're 16 inch they're not C5's....

[Dum-Dum]

Some C5s came with 16" steels but they arent the lightweight alloy steels.

[procta]

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

nice to see you finally have it! I bet you have had some right old fun with it!

Definitely! Used half a tank in a couple of days  luckily only takes like £40-£50 to fill it up haha

[procta]

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  

[procta]

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

[procta]

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 

[procta]

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 

[Nathan1305]

So made some progress with the car today, sadly found rust on the front right arch which I'm sure can be fixed?

On the plus side I've stripped the carpet and sound deadening out  saved a good few kilos the sound deadening alone weighs 5kg

Yeah I swapped it for a trailer in the end  

[Nathan1305]

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
