Finally decided to start the 206's conversion into a dedicated track car.

This is how it started out:








So this week I've invested in some Bilstein B8 dampers and Eibach pro springs



Brembo 4 pots from a 406 V6 Coupe









I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

You can tell when I've been there, compare the bench between the caliper job which you did alone and the suspension job which you did with me

No not coming to Trax, OE wheels don't fit over the brakes and the Pro Race 1.2s that we picked up this morning have the wrong centre bore.

Put the OE brakes back on after that pic.

Plus it's still Stes daily drive so nothing too crazy yet. When the Hood actually goes he's planning to get another road car and go further with this one.

As soon as I get another car for my commute then this one will get the full hit. Bias pedal box, Cams, TB's and let it sit at 200bhp. It only weighs 1040kg now with a full tank so it's going on a diet and try seeing about 850kg.

Then I have some thoughts of a full cage over the winter and maybe impreza turbo engine and 4wd system, but that's a pipe dream at the minute.
