106 Rallye 1.3 8V
Discussion
I sold it to a chap in Ireland then it ended up back in the uk. I tracked it down a few years ago after someone had attempted a 16v conversion, it was in a state! It was then bought by a chap who brought it back to original condition and it was sold on. I was so tempted to buy it back but I knew it would never be the same as when i had it.
Just came back from a short blast. what a cracking little thing.

Just found this old photo from back in the 90's.
This is the most expensive car I have ever owned !
Sold it a while later for an xsi. I travelled down to Ashford from Birmingham for that Piper exhaust. It was the Rallye they used to produce the Piper exhaust from. I called them up asking for an aftermarket exhaust and was told they are too new and don't exist but if I wanted to come down they would happily use my car to design and fit one and I could have the resulting exhaust for free.
A few days later I travelled from Ashford to Hull !

So, I finally gave into the voices in my head and ordered the following items:
- Peugeot OEM front brake discs 247mm vented
- Mintex M1144 front brake pads
- Replacement front suspension top mount kit inc. bearing & nuts
- Bilstein group N tarmac front/rear dampers
- 165lb Faulkner springs
- BMC air filter element
- Peugeot Sport group N exhaust system
I just need them to hurry up and get here now!

Still watching your thread with interest; as I mentioned, you got me enthusiastic about my project again!
Although I am going to try and do a track day this summer, the car is really about spirited B road driving on a Sunday morning whilst everyone else sleeps. I am hoping that the brakes and suspension will improve the control side of things, whilst the exhaust will add to the drama.
