Well I thought it only right to chuck up a few pics of our Rallye trackday project.

**This thread will be photo heavy btw**

Some of you will remember that Dave and I shared a 106 Rallye a couple of years ago which we had tons of fun with..





But since that was sold a while ago the time came to do it all over again!

I haven't posted any pics sooner because I was actually a little worried we might upset the previous owner who asked us to "look after it"

If you're still reading the forum Pete then SORRY!

Here's what it was like on the day of purchase..






But we didn't wanna leave it like that so we got straight to work..



Using only the correct tools obviously!








Better than a scooter..


We wanted every single fibre of sound deadening destroyed so obviously the dash had to get out of the way..






Reminds me of an invalid carriage


Dash back in for now..


Will continue in a bit with the following days

very nice

i was thinking about getting a secondary horn, where would you feed it through to the button inside the car?

Excellent stuff. Engine staying standard?

I'd just replace the standard twin horn with one like above. That Nautilus is plenty loud enough and has a nice italian supercar PAAAAAAAAAARPPPPP!



The engine is standard apart from PT80 spec cams which it came with. It'll stay like that for now as it saves worrying about an expensive engine and mechanical sympathy on trackdays! Seems pretty rapid and is stronger than my rallye was.

I forgot to mention the 6 point Sabelt which went in soon after the rear of the cage was painted up.

We decided to raise the rear of the bonnet up to allow heat to escape as you can see


However that caused the slight undesirable effect of engine fumes to get sucked into the cabin while caught in traffic etc!

I actually started to feel quite ill so we decided to make a fresh air feed from infront of the fans using the old air intake..

As you can see we already relocated the battery to behind the passenger seat as low down as possible.


Since then we've got some proper conduit to house the main loom from front to back and fully sprayed the cage.

Also the high sided seats made getting in and out a pain in the ass so we sourced a Sparco wheel with snap off boss. Much better and possibly a theft deterant too.

The windows are staying until Dave lets me get some polycarbs to turn it into a sauna

It's inaugural trackday should hopefully be Snetterton next month and then if all goes well it'll be off to Germany

These pics are from last weekend








Cheers for the comments guys! Really makes it worth doing this thread which actually seems like more hard work than working on the car itself!

Cheers Jim! You know the best bit is ripping everything out! Instant performance gains

Working on something like this with your mate (or cousin in this case!) does make it alot more fun. Especially shitty jobs like dash work.

Could easily goo mad tackling a job like that on yer own

Sold the bike an charged rallye an bought a caravan, midlife crisis or what!

It does flex a little more than before while raised up. Once it's latched down it's as solid as it was before it met the disc cutter. I guess that's the most important aspect
