My £150 trackday project

[gaz197]

genuine 75k backed up by history


as you can see the seat bolsters are like new


and its come up well from an hour or so scrubbing

 

[Arran]

It would be nice scrubbed up and kept as standard. I always think it's a shame when you find a good car and mod the hell out of it.

I know! I dont think I realised what I was buying here...I may do the engine conversion/brakes etc then see what I think, then maybe mild weight stripping.... but I want my track toy!!! its taken me ages to be in a comfy enuf position to afford to do it!!!

 

[dotty]

Nice I'm thinking of getting rid of my 197 for a 106 rally as the 197 is starting to do my head in cost wise and fun wise

 

[Peak Performance Tyres]

Fancy doubling your money lol? I'll come get it tonight lol

Haha!

It looks like a straight one thats for sure. Cant believe you got it for £150! Nice colour

 

[Jonesy]

next year this is what i am doing

 

[chris87]

looks like a awasome project

 

[197-F1]

Damn thats got me thinking now! Id love to start track days, but dont want to ruin my 197.

Will you tow this to the track, or insure it as a road car and drive it?

 

[luke3]

Love XSIs, I might get a cheap gti and have that as a track car, used to have a 106 and there so easy to repair etc, parts are so cheap!!

Have a look at bics 106, he has the supercharged 200 on here.

Theres a lad by me who has a he 200bhp throttle bodied s2 rallye, there aint many 106s out there that have made 200bhp n/a, it is fooookin rapid to say the least.

 

[Gouldy]

200hp NA out of a 16v?

ive seen it done once at a rolling road day, the car in question was a full on race car that won its season for the 3rd year in a row.

is the car you mention a proper race car?

 

[Gouldy]

gaz 197;

PM me if your selling it!

 

[luke3]

I will try find it on 106oc gouldy

 

[Gouldy]

nice one matey, id love to see the spec on that!

 

[rupe30]

There's a few that run over 200bhp, they're usually in heavy gti's though! When they come to sell the car they usually sell the engine separately as no-one wants to buy a 106 for £8k.. The engines usually go for around £4k. Gonna put one in my xsi one day, Can't imagine how fast it would be, mine with 145bhp runs mid/late 13's 1/4 mile and feels silly fast!

 

[Gouldy]

i know mate, i have had one my self and been in several ITB'd 106 and saxos including a super charged VTS with 220hp.

i wouldnt get involved with another 16v though, they are worth absolutely nothing nowadays.

including the engines, i have LOL'd a few times at people asking silly money for 16v engines. including the lad who owns "performance on track" forum.

here is a pic of my mates engine which was the first J4 engine to run ITB's on the standard ECU;

 

[quik97]

ah ricky p by any chance?

 

[Gouldy]

yes mate.

 

[rupe30]

I beat ricky P in his Tb'd 106 rallye in a drag race at York raceway.

That was a good day.

 

[gaz197]

This car is now for sale, its had loads of work done on it and stands me a few quid it has loads of MOT left and ive only done around 500 miles in it. Its totally stripped out and I mean totally!! very nippy car.... Offers please!
