S1 106 rallye. Restoration time!

[ozonehostile]

Gave the rallye a wash today, polishes up pretty well :-)



Can't wait to drive it properly, just waiting for parts to arrive

[Piggy]

I dont think you will need a forged engine...std internals see 300bhp

do they now..........

see gt30s link to his mates new 106 turbo...its mental fast and has standard block and pistons/rods. thats like 300bhp

[ozonehostile]

Oops

[MRiches]

Oops

Woah what the hell happened? You do that today?!

It looked shweet... did lol.

[Piggy]

holy crap!!!??

you wind up you!!!

going by the different steering wheel and passenger seat and that its dark at 9:58pm...you're pulling our chain!

was this why it was resprayed?

[Curt]

...and the vanishing bonnet pins

[ozonehostile]

Trolllolo.


It's a picture from about 2 years ago, the beauty of having a rallye is that it's as simple as a post on the rallye register to find the previous owners. I was curious to why it's had a full respray and guess that explains it.

Another nice thing I found out is that my friend from the mini club owned it about 9 months ago. Talk about small world haha

[Tom]

You bastard haha, i genuinely thought oh dear hes f*cked it already -.-

[Chris_90]

When I saw that pic was about to offer you some money for it

Anyway needs throttle bodies

[Pugmarshall]

So is it quicker then a '6?

Standard 106 GTi's will pull from a '6 until around 100mph. This one has semi slicks, one seat and a dashboard

[samass]

well, you know what I think!!

[devils_fuel]

Interesting little toy you have there

[ozonehostile]

Well since this is my only mode of transport now, I've been cracking on with getting it ready to mot.

Sorted all the lights out, running without front arch liners had filled up all the connectors with road dirt, corroding the connectors so replaced the broken ones with spares I keep around just in case.

Going to sort strut tops out tonight then it's ready to go :-)

[Piggy]

yaaaaaay!!!

[Midnightclub]

That dash looks.. heavy.. lol

[Jukie88]

Want !!!!

[C2K]

Very tidy.

[ozonehostile]

went for an mot the other day:



It didn't end well


basically, it doesn't have a cooling fan so when they left it running to do the emissions it overheated and spat all the coolant out the top hose. Test abandoned

so back to the drawing board so to speak, set about fitting a fan today and a manual override. s1 106 bumpers are a massive pita to get off, twice as many bolts as a 306



Mot again on thursday... watch this space haha

[devils_fuel]

That's a shitter mate

[BenDturbo1]

Love it mate!

[Just Sean]

Is that menna be a cock n balls on your rad?

[Jake]

Looks stunning... really want one of these.

[ozonehostile]

Is that menna be a cock n balls on your rad?

haha i was waiting to see if anyone would notice that. I think someone with a pressure washer at some point decided to leave a message for the next person to take the front bumper off haha

[C2K]

Why didn't you inform them it had no cooling fan? Or were you not aware? Could have resulted in all sorts of nasties.

My MOT tester asked me with the Rallye if the cooling fans worked ok, or if he should turn it off.

I did tell them, so as you can imagine i wasn't best pleased when they rang me to say the test had been abandoned because it had overheated. they were certainly in a hurry to refill it and offer me all sorts of money off when I asked to speak to the manager about the bill for a new engine. morale of the story, don't go to ETB with a car you care about

[C2K]

Hmmn, hope they haven't done any damage by refilling it with cold water.

I try not to leave my cars whenever they go for MOT. Being the enthusiastic motorist that I am I prefer to stay with the vehicle. That being said, my MOT tester is an absolute legend and takes twice as much care when he sees that you care for your car. I do always feel like i'm about to sit an exam though when the car goes in, even though they're normally fine.

[ozonehostile]

Yeah normally I go to the same tester with all my cars, I'm just in the unfortunate position with this one that it hasn't got any tax or test so I'm limited to local places :-(

[ozonehostile]

All ready for mot round 2 after a trip to the scrappy :-)

[Midnightclub]

Nice!

Although.. you need a decent airfilter/air feed man!

Yes I know lol, that things not doing anything.

Just waiting to hear back off my mate who's breaking a group n 106 rally car. Got a carbon fibre air scoop off the slam panel with enclosed filter. Should also be some other group n shinies up for grabs :-D
