Hi all I have a 2002 206 GTI 138 that’s pretty rough so we are thinking of making the car in to a track car, I see on AF that some of you partake in motor sport and I was after some advice on the basics to get the car ready to use so here are some of things I was thinking about;
The seats do I need a proper race seat or can I use a GTI 180 seat.
Do we need to fit a roll cage I’ve been looking at a 6 point bolt in type but no one ships to Australia.
The front suspension needs new lower arms and shocks so we are thinking of upgrading so to improve handling.
The interior is going to be stripped to a certain degree.
The engine we are going to leave std to start with but would like to increase the power at some point ( I have a spare engine to play around with)
Exhaust: I have a complete 180 system including manifold but would we lose power by fitting this.
Wheels do we stick with the alloys or use still rims?
Brakes we are going to fit 180 front brakes and change the rear pads and fluid.
Do we need to fit an electrical isolator, fire extinguisher.
If anyone can give us some advice on these topics and anything we need to get started would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
