My dad used to own a 106 and the build quality was not very good, just wondered how these older pugs stand up to being used on tracks

I've seen one for sale near me but it is fitted with the 2.0 16v out of the earlier 306 S16 are these engines the same as the 306 gti 6 ?

Nice vids,very impressive car for the money, missing doing track days since i sold my 3dr nearly a year ago
