Hi! (Newbie with Gti6 Track Car...) - Chr1sch - 23-01-2015 Hi all, I'm a paid member over on 306Gti6 but keep getting pushed to threads on here so figured I should introduce myself/join up... I'm based just outside Worcester and own a 1998 GTi6 with a fairly expansive list of tweaks (albeit not as expansive as many on here!) I bought as my toy to keep me smiling on track in a world of diesel powered BMW company cars...It hasnt failed, i bloody love it! The car may be known to some on here, it has certainly been on both forums many years ago (circa 2007-2010 from what i can tell) and it came with gti6 oc stickers on it, so i'd love someone to fill me in on the gaps one day... Anyway, I plan to do 4 or 5 track days this year and would love to meet up with any other fellow 306 owners (seem to meet a few each time but non from the forums), the next being the 16th of February at Bedford Autodrome SEN circuit. So the car: 1998 Bianca White GTi 6 with a very bad respray 159k miles (gulp) Phase 3 Headlights 'Clio' type front numberplate Remap - 174.4bhp (back in 08) Magnex exhaust RichW rebuilt head RichW light weight crank pulley K&N Filter Element Nissens Rad AC Button fan mod Mocal Oil Cooler BakerBM Grp N Engine Mounts 16' Speedline Turini's - soon to be refurbished in white Federal 595 RS-R Track tyres (205/45's) 303mm Hi-Spec Brake conversion Tarox Discs Ferodo DS2500 Pads Braided Hoses ATE Superblue Brake fluid Bilstein B8 Dampers Eibach Springs OMP Strut brace Rose jointed drop links RichW Roller bearing wishbone bushes Fully stripped out bar front carpet Sparco 'Sprint' bucket seats Sparco FIA subframes No radio/speakers etc etc RMD 'OMP' Style wheel - to be replaced with genuine item this week! Plans/Aspirations for 2015: Roll Cage Harnesses Clutch & Cable Accelerator Cable Carbon door cards Throttle bodies Look forward to meeting folk and learning along the way... Cheers Chris A few pics (some are old, first track day was on Toyo's that fell apart, radio has now gone etc): RE: Hi! (Newbie with Gti6 Track Car...) - mattsrallye - 23-01-2015 Welcome to the forum! Looks like a good spec, a nice balance between track and road usability RE: Hi! (Newbie with Gti6 Track Car...) - Eeyore - 23-01-2015 Welcome to the forum! Looks great! Any pictures of the back stripped out? Not sure whether to have the front carpet in mine or just strip it all! RE: Hi! (Newbie with Gti6 Track Car...) - Chr1sch - 23-01-2015 This is the only one i have right now, the net thing lasted about 30 seconds... Stripped out is great, and will look awesome when painted up with a cage, that said its a ball ache in term of resonance on the motorway when driving down to a track day if you have a noisy ish exhaust RE: Hi!
