Default What spares for trackdays?

Well we've just bought our track car and the first outing is Croft in 2 weeks time so I'm getting some sort of spares "package" ready, was thinking...

Pads
Plugs
leads
oil
brake fluid

probably loads more but minds blank

I always take a spare set of pads and oil..........TBH the little beast is faultless in all other ways

I just give it a service before i go, Plugs,Oil and filter, fuel filter ect and she is fine.

Has it gt the 206 GTi brakes on it????

The 309 front end is much better, that is what i have on mine

But the 309 brakes are the same as the 205 ones, See if you can get hold of some 206 GTi brakes

well i say 206 GTi.......................

They are EXACTLY the same as the 307 2.0l calipers and discs, same part numbers and everything
You need the calipers, carriers discs and pads

They are 283mm discs so they JUST fit under the 1.9 rims, and i mean JUST. I had to have the wheel weights moved as they caught them

Get that set-up and run standard discs and pads and it will brake AWESOME I have done 4 trackdays on the same pads and only now do they need changing. That is braking from 130mph to about 40mph every lap at donno too........NEVER FADED ONCE

Best mod to date on the 205 Scott

Fun track!!

Just be careful as the run off on the first 2 corners is seriously lacking, elsewhere you can run off into the local farmers feild and have a good mile to stop if needed!
