My Indigo Blue Throttle Bodied 106 Rallye
Discussion
thanks guys!
Right a few more updates tonight... I finally had time to upload my other pics onto photobucket, with the initial progress, so i'll get those up and then put the latest updated after that....
Steering wheel fitted:
Quick Shift fitted:
All bolts replaced with aluminum one's (where safe to do so of course):
Jubilee clips banished and replaced with proper fasteners:
OE cable retainers on pillar banished and replaced with tidy ones (you can also see i'm in the process of fitting black roll cage bolts instead of the stainless ones):
Stainless Steel Engine Mount bolts fitted:
Stainless bolts fitted on brake balance bar:
Gold bolts on engine all swapped for black aluminum ones (decided it's a cleaner more subtle look than the gold type!)
Before:
Take these:
And you get this:
Still a few to swap in this pic - not quite done yet as I ran out!
Also ground off this random stud in the bay using my good mothers dremmel (amazing tool this!) and touched it up with paint - looks better than a stud sitting there doing nothing but may get it smoothed over professionally eventually but it will do for now - no pic of it painted but it does look nice, I did a tidy job of it!
And that's about it for now - doing all the small detailing type jobs for now until I have enough dough to crack on with the exhaust and wiring!

Right lots of updates today. I fitted my AP's (total arse of a job) achieved with the help of 5mm spacers and a little grinding. Also installed my fuel lines in the bay, replaced my bonnet lifters as they were creaking, and removed my rear caliper as it was leaking like fk (only realised when I pushed the car out of the garage and saw the stain on the floor from brake fluid, so that will need to be replaced at some point. Also perfected my throttle cable as it was a bit gammy before, and took a pic of my group N wishbones fitted too. Also fitted my carbon number plates, as the old one's were a little haggard! I will let the pics do the talking anyways.
Good morning little Rallye:
Old Bonnet Lifters removed:
New OE ones from Peugeot:
Linkage was fouling my fuel line fitting so i ground it down a little bit with a dremmel (such a handy tool!)
Before:
After (tiny corner ground off for clearance):
Throttle cable sorted:
Throttle cable secured to bulkhead:
AP's brakes ground down a little (still need to touch them up):
Pads in (very easy) At this point the caliper was upside down so I swapped it after - doh!):
Tight like a tiger!!:
All fitted:

All fitted:
Mint new Earls Black fittings:
Fuel lines and filter installed (using hole already present in the bay, didn't have to drill anything!):
Return Line:
Group N wishbone:
New Carbon plates off Bic @ Streamline Carbon (thanks again!):
Leaking Caliper (Now removed):
New coilpack badge (there is a piece of paper on it here but you get the idea!)
Bay as it stands now:
Lol we all make mistakes!
Hmm I hadn't considered a little space for expansion when hot...I may zim them down a little more with the file. I don't fancy spacing the wheels any wider, they'd look odd more than anything too! We'll see how she goes as they are (maybe ground down a mm more or so) then go from there. Makes you sweat taking a grinder to £1500 brakes I tell you!
More updates today anyway. I have done a hard days graft today again on the Rallye. Hank must have driven on a road that was recently resurfaced (in fact he told me he did) as the front wheels were literally COVERED in black tar spots and they wouldn't come off for st, so i had to buy some 'muc off' tar remover from halfords to clean them up. It wasn't much good, and I had to spend an hour (per wheel) painstakingly cleaning each wheel and scraping the spots off with my finger nail...my hands are now killing me, but the wheels are like new again! I also P clipped in my clutch cable so as to allow room for my return fuel line to run along side without the risk of chaffing it etc. I also put a threaded insert in the back of the P clip fixing the fuel filter for ease of removal if i ever need to, as it was fiddly as hell with a nut a bolt. I also fitted a black bolt to it too, looks better now!
Some pics of the updates, and random shots too. The wheels look like they protrude loads in the pics but it's just the camera!
Engine bay:
Brakes (prior to wheel clean I might add!):
Overall snap:
Clutch cable P clipped in (bh to do with engine in place - enter the dremmel again!)

Yesterday I did some more work on the Rallye. I fitted my pug sport High tensile stud and nut conversion, touched up the calipers that I ground down (probably will redo them as they're still not 100% perfect). I fitted my new wish bone bolts too, so they're all hunky dory now.
I also finished P clipping the brake liness in with Stainless P clips. Added one more on the rear bulkhead to secure it more tidily - no pics of that as yet but will sort some soon.
Here's the pics anyway.
Wheel stud kit (front only until I can afford the rears!):
Bit of thread lock on them to ensure they don't work loose (they are screwed in very tightly but this is how you're meant to fit them):
All done:
Masked off the caliper to paint it (you can see the finished result in the pic above):
New wishbone bolts:
All fitted:
Will get some snaps of the brakes lines soon!
