106 Rallye 1.3 8V

[t4thomas]

I am loving all these Rallye tribute photos too!

Just missing a cherry red example - anyone?

[neilbauer]

Love these on their original steel wheels

Cool car, I've got a 1.6 XSi in Cherry Red.

I absolutely loved mine. So much fun for such a little engine.

Looks like this one ended up in Northampton with a 1.6 8V conversion (2011).

[VRSAndy]

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.

And definitely, definitely do not need another car!

Currently looking for a new house so this will all be drive size dependent... And whether I want to be single! Two Clio Williams and a Clio 172 have been and gone already this year!

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 !

I borrowed an XSi for a few weeks in the mid 90's and it was a cracking little car. I've remained a fan of light cars, with moderate power, which reward the driver and are actually great fun!

[t4thomas]

I didn't use the Rallye much over the winter having broken my foot, but took it for a blast on Saturday morning following a fresh MOT.

I had forgotten how absolutely analogue the experience was; the car is so focussed!

Buy one and drive it.

Just checking but i think know who owns this now!

[t4thomas]

I hope it's you.

If not, make him an offer ASAP!

I sold it in 1999 with 55k miles on it needing 4 new tyres and a new cat !

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!

This post pleases me

I'm determined to attack my front suspension and brakes this weekend but we'll see...

Cheers Dom.

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.
