No didnt notice, it was a while ago on south west french cars

God its a pita trying to find out anything on the 106 forums, so il just do it myself and publish it on here lol

306oc ftmfw!!

Anyway, I'm currently in the process of trying to find out what gains are to be had from modifying a clio 172 throttle body and injectors or if I should stick with the current j4,maybe just tweak the fuel pressure regulator then get it mapped on a rolling road


Basically I'm attempting to build an ultimate n/a setup rather than a flat out power build, as I'm sure if you've ever driven a quick 106, over 200bhp in such a tiny car is just a sure way to kill yourself...


Anyway, lots of custom shit and shiney parts coming soon haha

Sounds like it will be epic if you can pull it off Big Grin

It's certainly a different experience from tuning a Dturbo, feels so much more..... I don't know, precision?

Like having to map in all the little tweaks to get the optimum results rather than just welding something on and seeing what happens haha


Too easy to spend money on though :-\


RE: S1 106 rallye. new manifold time! - Piggy - 21-01-2014

Its a cool way yes but ruddy expensive too...

Just get them blowers on her, keep it low boost and you'll see 200bhp/200ftlbs and still be reliable


RE: S1 106 rallye. new manifold time! - ozonehostile - 21-01-2014

Decided to go for a mini winter restoration while I was taking stuff off, took some pictures of bits to sort. Mostly just cleaning and painting, plus new radiator, new fans, coolant hoses, gear linkages, engine cleaning, welding, new seats etc etc etc

See how it goes :-)

Pictures of some of the bits that annoy me

So that's all the rust that needs sorting and repainted/cleaned

Stripped the front end off, going to clean the bay and catch any surface rust starting + repaint

Painted the ecu tray, scuttle panel, wiper arms, fuse box and wiper motor covers satin black

Had a dig through my dad's horde of rally car bits and unearthed these carbon fibre floor trays, almost a perfect fit! Just need to shave the sides down a few cm, but apart from that I'm happy with them

RE: S1 106 rallye. new manifold time! - Piggy - 21-01-2014

Cool find...

Yeah those rusty bits would bug me too...great chance to get it all sorted


RE: S1 106 rallye. new manifold time! - Craigus - 21-01-2014

Looking good! Cant wait to see this at pugfest Smile

Yeah Pugfest is what it's all about :-)

Natural territory of the 106 rallye haha


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - ozonehostile - 22-01-2014

Soo tonight was a fun job, dropping the fuel tank out...

And I definitely don't trust the fuel gauge now haha, apparently it was at the bottom of the reserve fuel but still managed to fill up two petrol cans and spill alot of v power on the floor :-(

Ah well lol
[Image: 20140122_190633_zpseobu8tco.jpg]

About an hour of inhaling fumes later I had the tank off and was pleased to see a relatively clean rear bulkhead
[Image: 20140122_192320_zps5ekxlyqe.jpg]

This hadn't been out in a loooong time

[Image: 20140122_192308_zpsdoyqjw8d.jpg]

Ready for welding now, oh and the rear beam has alot more play than I thought, yet another thing to buy for the restoration :-\


Ooh and I was donated a nice thick slab of aluminium to make an adapter for the throttle body

RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - ozonehostile - 25-01-2014

Decided to attack all the dirt, so starting off in the engine bay then working my way back using a mixture of wire brushes, super strength degreaser, cream cleaner etc.

Anyway, couple of hours scrubbing and the bays already looking smarter :-)
[Image: 20140125_194006_zpscgdm1xwe.jpg]

Started soaking the block in degreaser too, coming up pretty well, taking the exhaust manifold off soon to clean, Polish and heat wrap

Another day at it tomorrow


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - Carlos182 - 25-01-2014

That bay's starting to look nice!


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - Piggy - 25-01-2014

Looking fab...satisfying work

Get that rear bulkhead all cleaned and coated...seen them rust away there


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - ozonehostile - 25-01-2014

It's going to take so long haha, the one inner wing took me all afternoon haha. But definitely worth it though. Get it all grease free then start attacking the rust and repaint :-)


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - ozonehostile - 26-01-2014

Starting to look a bit better :-)

y u no cambelt cover?

This. I don't see why people don't have cam belt covers!


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - Tom - 26-01-2014

All it takes is something as big as the gap between the teeth in the pulley :/

The full cover doesn't fit because of the top engine mount, most S1 16v conversions are missing the cover because of this.

I plan on fitting a cover though, just have to modify it to fit over the mount


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - ozonehostile - 27-01-2014

Started attacking the dirt in the arches and underside
[Image: 20140127_181406_zpstoxeh199.jpg]

Pleasingly no major rust

However I found this when I ventured underneath :-(

[Image: 20140127_180814_zpsqsej823t.jpg]

Bottom engine mount/steady has ripped away from the body. More bloody welding to do :-(


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - Piggy - 27-01-2014

Woh!!!!

Flipping ek...not seen that before Undecided

I guess that explains the difficulty getting it in gear too


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - Tom - 27-01-2014

It doesnt even make much torque! Only a bit more welding, doesnt take that long.

I was pretty surprised to see that too, I expect that kind of thing on a Dturbo, but not on a petrol 106! The engine mounts are all a bit worn, so I expect the increased movement has stressed the metal until it broke


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - Tom - 27-01-2014

Sounds pretty plausible to be honest! Shocking at that though!


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - Piggy - 27-01-2014

Are they standard mounts or uprated??

Standard knackered mounts.

People on the rallye register have experienced this with solid mounts, but never on standard before


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - Craigus - 27-01-2014

Time for new mounts then? Big Grin

Yeah definitely, il get a picture of the gearbox mount when I change it, it's definitely f*cked haha


RE: S1 106 rallye. Restoration time! - Matt-Rallye - 12-02-2014

just read this in its entirety, my friend in shobdon has a 167bhp jp4'd S1 rallye (white one with cage, black wheels and private reg) absolute animal with the 1300 box, i used to have a black S1 rallye that my other friend now owns Smile

If you ever need a hand with anything give me a shout, i know these cars inside out.
