106 GTi vs 306 GTi6/Rallye

[c.gerrard]

Just an idea, Ibiza Cupra R? Getting cheap these days, shit as standard but they have a turbo and room for improvement.

But on topic, i've always liked the '6, it might be because theres alot of roads down here where you can let it loose, that and they make a cracking noise.

Don't think I would be welcome at likes of Pugfest

So the 106 GTi and the Rallye have different engines?

Or is it just the box that is different?

The 106gti is a 1.6 16v, Tu5j4 engine, same as the Saxo vts

Then you have the s2 106 rallye, 1.6 8v, and is the Peugeot equivalent of the Saxo vtr, same engine, running gear, slightly better gearbox and obviously the rallye is waaaay cooler

Then the one with the ultimate gearbox, s1 106 rallye. 1.3 engine, Revvy as f*ck, and combined with an absolute beauty of a short ratio gearbox, unique to the s1 rallye. The 1.3 gearbox bolts directly onto the 16v engines so best of both worlds.

Only problem I had with a rallye box on a 1.6 engine is the 1.3 clutch and flywheel have to be used (180mm) so ended up shitting itself after a few full throttle starts ;-)

Uprated clutch and you should be fine :-)

Does sound like a very good set up.

It's sort of what I am wanting to avoid though, having to get parts and sort out x, y and z.

Literally just want something to abuse.

Not being lazy, just have the other project to focus on!
