Another T5 Autograss Car

[Minordelay]

Hi Chaps

I'm in the early stages of a class 6 FWD autograss car. It will use a Peugeot 106 shell and full tube frame with an all up weight of around 5-600KG.

Power will be provided by the motor from a 99 C70. Will be junking the ETM and using earlier manifold if it fits. Also will use standalone management to get round any other issues. Aiming for a reliable 250BHP with more if I can handle it. It will be my first car, I've had a drive in a Hayabusa Class 8 which was insane and an R32 Golf engined Class 6 Nova equally mad!!!!

Would welcome any advice on what to look out for and potential problems


Cheers for now

Sounds good mate Im in need of a full drivers window assembly if the one you have works ok where about are you ?

I've just read the rules and realised I shouldn't have mentioned the breaking car yet. I can't seem to edit the post though (found it!!!).

Regulators gone sorry.

Hi Nige

I am running a T5 in the back of my class 10, if I can be of any help with anything feel free to get in touch.

I am running Emerald management which seems to handle everything perfectly well and fairly easy to fit and wire up.

Whereabouts in the country are you ?

Hi Paul

Thanks for the offer I've read your threads with interest and watched the Vids too. I'm sure I'll be needing some advice as I've a lot to do yet.

I'm based in Wolverhampton and have a choice of clubs to join STAR is nearest.

I managed to get the engine on the floor today, looking forward to shoehorning it into the 106 soon. Just need to shift a few more parts off the doner to make some space. I hate weighing in stuff that might be useful to others.

I've got a complete C70 which I'm breaking too so I have most bits. I do need a earlier type inlet manifold throttle housing @ linkage etc. Let me know

Cheers Nigel

My mate has a 106 with a T5 in racing down our way, if you need any build info he could probably help out as well, he should be racing at St Neots tomorrow if you fancy a trip out

Hi Paul

Cheers for that. Would have loved to have gone, getting time off is proving difficult with the family at the moment though. Probably won't do loads of racing maybe 6 or so meetings a year. Will be building the car as a college project I teach Auto and have BTEC Motorsport students. I'm lucky to have some good equipment available to me including body & paint, rolling road corner weight scales tube bender. Amazing that the learners take it all for granted though!!!

Is the 106 spaceframed? would like a look at the bulkhead. I'm hoping to run rad/intercooler up front. Supercharger would avoid any bulkhead issue.
