S1 Rallye

16v in these are awesome. Going to be difficult to go back to 1.3 as they are rare engines now but whatever, the 16v TU is a better engine and more fun and who can blame anyone for more power but keeping standard looks

 

[cat171]

I completely missed this, is this to replace the Corrado?

I think get the Saxo for the engine too.

Yeah, I just used to clean the corrado and not drive it whereas I clean this one and occasionally drive it. The dub scene wasn't for me tbh, is all about air and static lows now which I'm not really into.

Fair play dude, the pug looks awesome!!

Engine spec on the Saxo is lovely, I'd get it for sure

 

[Brookie.]

Love it mate!

 

[leeds_182]

Saxo has gone out of the window. I didn't like the seers attitude.

 

[leeds_182]

Saxo might be back on! We shall see...

 

[imprezaworks]

Didn't realise it was running 181, nice

 

[leeds_182]

Aye, it would just be a breaker though. Just depends how much I'd get for the bits.

 

[leeds_182]

Bad day today;

 

[Jay.S]

Oops.

What happened?

 

[leeds_182]

Someone had done a bodge instead of using a proper pinch bolt = disaster!

 

[Jay.S]

Gutted, their is some right morons about.

Any major damage?

 

[leeds_182]

Gutted, their is so right morons about.

Any major damage?

Front wing is dead, few suspension parts need replacing. I'm budgeting £500.

 

[Russ Rallye]

Sh1t! That could of been very nasty, take it you weren't going that fast at the time? I'd be having words with the guy you bought it off tbh, assume they've just used a normal low tensile strength bolt instead of a proper pinch bolt?

[Matthew]

Yikes!!

 

[Budgie]

Whoa!

That must have woke you up!

 

[Cub.]

Ouch.

Lucky it wasn't much worse, and at least it's repairable as I love this little car!

 

[imprezaworks]

Jeez

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, bad s**t. Had the kids in the car so could've been a lot worse I guess, Just really annoying.

 

[imprezaworks]

Even worse mate. Sorry to hear

 

[leeds_182]

It sucks;

 

[leeds_182]

Parts are getting ordered today to fix it though.

 

[JAMason]

I spotted this on the rallye FB group this morning. Thought it was yours. Doesn't look too bad to be honest, what's the top mount area of the inner wing like and any damage to the sump/gearbox? Biggest pain in the arse is the paint for the wing, getting that to match, sorting out the arch faring, i bet some of the teeth have snapped off! And then the time messing about to fix it.

Could have been really nasty though, you got away fairly lightly. I would be digging back through the cars history to see if/when the pinch bolts were messed with. Thing with these cars is the history is pretty much all documented online in the forum and register. Glad you were ok though pal!

[cat171]

Sh*t dude, that ain't good!! Shame about the wing etc, but you seem to be on top of sorting it.

It had new genuine pug pinch bolts last time I had it in bits when I owned it as I don't cut corners when building my cars. I believe the guy that bought it from me has had the gearbox out so its obviously been done then.

[Gandi69]

what had they used instead of a pinch bolt then?
Wing is going to be a pain to get hold of/replace/paint match. other stuff shouldnt be too much of a problem if it hasnt damaged the s1 box (if its running that). Probably damaged the brake lines too I'd imagine

 

[Matt_90]

This almost happened to me when I first bought mine, luckily it fell out at 2mph pull on to the driveway.

I saw this on FB last night, glad everyone is ok.

I have spare lower arm and struts if you need some cheap.

 

[leeds_182]

Let the repais commence;

 

[Djw John]

Similar happened to me when I was using Djw Dave AX GT whilst he was on holiday. He thought I was on the wind up about crashing his car till I showed him the pictures!

 

[Daz.]

I suddenly don't want one anymore!

 

[leeds_182]

I suddenly don't want one anymore!

Oh yeah, every journey is an adventure!

 

[leeds_182]

Topped up all the fluids today and went out for a drive. Looked behind to see a big cloud of smoke and my lovely fresh gearbox oil shat itself all over the place!

She's certainly a challenge!!!

 

[andywa]

Bad news Jim. How were the Kids? How's the motor looking now?

 

[yeecup]

Good old French hot hatches, bad luck mate hope u get it all sorted its a cool little car.

 

[leeds_182]

Almost looks alright from a distance.....

 

[Russ Rallye]

How come it dumped its gearbox oil again mate, cracked casing or out of the diff/driveshaft area?

I think it was an oversight by the lad sorting it mate. He was doing it late on and didn't want to bang the seal on for fear of waking my kids up! All sorted now though and running sweet.

 

[Russ Rallye]

Good to hear mate.
