106 rallye

[Niall]

Always get ruined by a berk putting a 16v in

This. Them 1.3s are a fantastic engine. The 1.6 in the S2s was no where near as good as the 1.3 so i can see why people would replace that.

Zak, stop buying all the rallyes! You can't have them all!! lol

So you have owned all 3 versions to base this opinion on?

I have had all 3 and i completely disagree. the 16v S1 rallye is the hot hatch peugeot SHOULD of made.

The 1.3 is only good for originality, yes its a rev happy 8v but its still underpowered and sluggish unless its being rinsed. The 8v in the S2 is same bhp output but with more torque and its alot smoother / nicer to drive and the power is much more useable.

When fitted with the lightweight, powerful and rev happy 16v they make an amazingly capable machine especially if fitted with the original close ratio rallye gearbox, this is what gives them the extra edge over a 106 GTi and really makes them quite savage too drive hard.


On another note i have an S1 rallye inlet manifold, throttle body and high lift cam im trying too sell

If the issue is space, I would kindly offer to take your old one free of charge.

I already offered that one

Who said you have to own them to form an opinion? An opinion could be completely baseless if i really wanted!
I've been in both and driven a standard S2 and I much preferred the S1. There is no denying that the 16v engine is a cracking little lump but just because it's faster doesn't mean it's better. 8v and 16v engines are completely different beasts to drive normally and that can only be down to personal opinion as to which you prefer.

Personally if I got my hands on a S1 rallye, it would be staying standard
