Hello to everyone smile

I thought i'd actually signup seen as though i frequent this site so much. A few weeks back i purchased this 106 Rallye and haven't stopped smiling since biggrin It really is a great handling hatch especially thanks to a few changes. I originally was hankering after 16v power in the form of a GTI but i could not find any decent ones! Looking back though i'm glad i went for a rallye as i feel it has a bit more character than your average hot hatch being quite the rareity that it is smile As i'm young Insurance still cripples me so the Rallye is a good compromise, but i'm so glad i have a foothold on the ladder to owning some great performance cars driving

Spec:

- 8v with heatwrapped Raceland 4-2-1 Manifold and Pugsport 2 inch decat system
- OMP 40mm Springs and Bilstein B8 dampers all round.
- Goodridge front braided hoses and red stuff pads.
- Chris Astley Motorsport Quikshift
- Sparco upper strut brace
- Fully stripped interior; no rear seats, trim or carpets :P
- OMP bucket seats and Sabelt 4-points
- OMP Steering wheel
- Streamline Carbon Fibre interior Pack
- Carbon Fibre exterior mirror caps

She probably weighs about 840kg and has roughly 110hp so from owning a 1.2 clio beforehand she feels quick!

Fantastic car! You should get yourself (if you havnt already) onto 106 forum. A mate of mine has the same in white (thestig) he ran the 8v 'til it dropped its guts and now runs a 16v with high lift cams, megasquirt etc etc.

You got a seriously quick road/track car there - Im driving a Cliosport RS200 at the moment and his outruns mine from almost standstill til 3 figure speeds ***on track*** cool

Have fun in it!

Well she really looks the business in that French Racing Blue and even the steel wheels don't detract that much!

Am I right in saying that the 106 is the best handling Peugeot ever?

How much extra do the insurance companies charge when you strip out a road car?

Love the car mate!

It's no set amount it's all dependant on your details and the car. I have the strippage marked under interior modifications.

You can always drop a valver in it like I did to mine when the 8v lump gave up the ghost.

Much fun to be had.
