Turbo Goose Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hello peeps, About 2 weeks ago I went halves with my brother on a VTS track car. Did a track day in my cousins Peugeot 306 GTI-6 at Cadwell the previous weekend and needed a track car after that, its a lot of fun. This very clean example of a VTS was available about 35 miles away from me so went to look at it with my bro one night in the week then picked it up the following weekend. Spec when I bought it: Fully stripped, 4-2-1 stainless manifold and straight through exhaust, Corbeau Forza bucket seat, Dunlop Formula R tyres, 'apparently' cammed, standard suspension, standard backbox. Plans are: Check over car, rear axle, engine etc. (done at a garage the day after we bought it)Purchase roll cage (done)Purchase Bilstein B8 front dampers (done)Purchase Bilstein B8 rear dampersPurchase lowering springs (done)Purchase passenger bucket seat (done)Purchase polycarb windowsPurchase new backboxPurchase brake upgrade, possibly 406 brakesPurchase cambelt coverChange seat mountings to turrets rather than on the floorLower rear axleTake inner door skins, boot skin and bonnet skin outStrip engine to check camsLots of other things I will think of later! Also, making up some nice suspension made from a set of mitsubishi coilovers to eventually replace the bilsteins and springs. Rear axle is spot on, looks like it been serviced recently.Also engines got fresh oil and recent cambelt kit on so guessing it recently been fully serviced prior to us buying it.Tyres have got lots of tread on so got a few track days left on them. Pics of my on track: Chasing an MK indy Pics from the advert: Bought a bolt in cage which was welded in! Was in a sundance yellow 106 shell.Picked up the whole lot from near Peterborough, cut the cage out which wasn't much fun, then scrapped the shell. The cage is an OMP 6 point (its down as a 10 point on their website) Picked up this seat off Glanza Mac, its a Cobra Monaco Test fitting the cage to the saxo, spraying it white when its all marked up and making some mounting points. Bar rear bar isn't fixed in this pic Heres the struts I bought, there is some bilstein B8 inserts hidden in them! currently on 60mm springs but taking them off and fitting 25-30mm Going to work on the car today, get some mounting platforms made up for the cage Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone I no had one just like this It came from a bloke at Wisbech, just as you get into Norfolk, but he didn't have it all that long so couldn't tell you where it was from originally Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Don't suppose you'd know anyone after a set of Xsara VTS alloys Dan? I have a set here (and a 15" spare) two have rainsport 2's on them and two have Advan A032 Semi's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 What you wanting for them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'd let them go for £60 but open to offers, haven't advertised them yet. The alloys are in okay condition no buckles or anything, rainsports are quite worn but the advans have a bit of life in them yet. I bought them for the advans but I might be buying another set of wider tyres instead.If you need any pics let me know, just gave them a clean haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Stick sum pics up mate, id be after the advans as well tbh. Im running 14s atm but 15in tyres are cheaper so I might be interested Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep82jm Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 And then you can run 306 gti6 brakes as well ;)Breaking a vtr at the minute if you need any bits and peices Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 They look alright on a 106/Saxo as you can see. Any good for you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Possibly interested come payday, them advans look like they have a couple of track days left in them. Do the centers pop out of the wheels? some citroen ones dont so gettin them balanced is a pain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 As in the centre caps? I haven't tried to be honest but can check if you like Finishing uni next Friday so I'd ideally need to sort something out by then as I'm going straight home to Cardiff and leaving the wheels here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
