My other car is a.....!!!

In Feb I bought a mint '94 Peugeot 106 Rallye S1, which I currently use as my runner and I'm trying to restore it. It's a fantastic little thing!

If you don't know what it is already, here's the lowdown:

One of the rarest Peugeot models produced, behind the 205 and 405 T16s, the 205 Rallye and the later 106 Rallye S2. Less than 1000 were imported into the UK, less than 800 remain. A perfect condition example can go for about £3000 these days.

Like the previous 205 Rallye, it was built to allow the 106 to be homologated into Group A and N rallies. It is completely stripped down to the bare minimums; no airbags, no power steering, no sound proofing, no cigarette lighter, nothing. It also has an uprated 1.3 fuel injected engine, the most powerful engine on a 106 at the time, meaning that it had, and still has, the best power-to-weight ratio on a 106.

The engine is the rare eight valve TU2J2, which was only produced for this very model, and is often replaced with a 16 valve engine from the more common 106 GTI, meaning that if you still have the original engine it's going to be worth a bit more. The Rallye is often lowered and had the rims changed and all of that silly stuff too.

All of that makes for a very spunky, very fun car. The super low weight means that you can throw it around and it wheelspins very easily! No drifting though, it's still FWD at the end of the day.

The only bad thing I can find about it is that it's French, thus an utter pain to maintain and the driving position is a bit weird. It's also in major need of an engine refurb as it uses more oil than petrol...

I'd post a pic but I actually haven't taken any of it yet. It's all dirty from it's trip to the Sahara recently... While staying at home. But it looks like this:

That is one awesome Beamer Richy   That blue makes it stand out for sho'

Since I'm underage to be on the road (15 years waiting), I use this to get about on the track. Rotax Max 125cc. Its not a car but its a kar.......................t. It looks really shabby here. It had a lot of dents, old seat which was way too big, old wheels and was filthy from the previous owner. But hopefully in the coming weeks I might be able to put some pics up when it's on the track and not looking like a "Barn-Find"   



Here's a pic of the guy who used to own it before me on track.

I wish I had a Kart. Weekends would sky-rocket on the fun department. Unfortunately, that will, most likely, never happen....because Portugal..  Most of the kart tracks that exist here are either deserted or ask for a bucket load of cash.

Have fun in that. Those are pretty quick.   

Thanks Antr, I'll tell you what the downside is though. After about 5 laps it feels like you've been in a fight with a rugby player! The pain!  

My little pride and joy!!!

mines a 307 but just been written off due to some idiot using a mobile whilst driving into the side of me

My baby! 2014 Mazda 6 Touring! Just recently got a job will save up to get H&R lowering springs for her  

I have a 1988 Mustang Gt with fully done custom exhaust loud as can be not much done to the engine just got it in October its a project. Then I normally drive a 98 Honda Civic Coupe 4 into 1 Headers leading into essentially a resonator no muffler or cats and a 5 inch wide DC Sport Muffler has a simple five speed and is fun not very impressive but they are my cars.

My 99 GSX.

Absolutely love those cars always wanted one is it stock or have you toyed with it?

Its toyed with. Fully built motor, slightly upgraded turbo, AEM EMS, whole lot of other stuff. Should be in the high 300's hp mark. Was gonna go full power for a drag car but decided to set it up for a track day car so suspension and brakes are next on the list.

I'll try to remember to post pics later on.

She passed away last winter. Had what could be called a coronary failure. Needed a heart transplant, and since I couldn't afford the operation, I had to let her go. Still makes the wife cry when we speak of her.

Ended up with a 1996 Toyota Steamy Pile of Sedan. Seriously, most every panel has either a dent, scrape or ding, and the interior smalls like a mix of used motor oil and body odor... like the previous owner worked at an auto scrap yard and could not afford either soap or deodorant.

Now that my busy time of year is here, I've been looking for my next car. I am negotiating a deal on a 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Black on black, with a 2300 I4t and 5spd manual. The motor has been rebuilt, with less than 1000 miles on the rebuild. And it has been internally modded, about 300 Hp, but is still stock on the outside.

This is much what she'd look like after a bath...

My everyday drive 257bhp



My track toy 151.4bhp

Ahhh that looks so cool!

It looks alright when it's clean, when it's dirty those white steelies turn a manky grey Just as an indication of it's value/collectibility, I just bought the original sales brochure for £30... For a four page 20x20cm book.

My current motor purchashed in January, loving it so far but thinking I really wanna get the 190 T-Sport next year.

90s French hatchbacks are a real car-turn-on for me. Not sure why. I think it has something to do with the 306 Maxi...
