Get one mate! I've owned a lot of 'fun' cars including 182, ph1 172, gti6'd 205, 306 Rallye, 16v'd s1 Rallyes but these revvy 8v are just a total riot. You'll be grinning everytime you drive it!
Yup smaller but more revvy and rewarding engine, lighter and noticeably more nimble and checkable and a lot more raw.
Pretty much just a steering wheel and pedals!
S1 came as a 1.3 8v 100bhp, compared to my last one before i 16v'd it using the 1.6 16v 125bhp from Gti /Saxo Vts...
They feel quite slow because nothing really happens until about 5k revs.
In a straight line mine is in par with a Gti to about 85mph on a private road.
Engine wise wise only has a K&N in the original airbox, 4-2-1 Supersprint manifold and a 2inch grpN Pugsport exhaust.
In the corners it's...
I've resisted the urge to 16v it so it still has the 1.3 engine.
No where near the Cup in a straight line but a lot of fun in the twisties. Peak power at 7250rpm, such a fizzy little engine.
We often swap cars for the day. Both are good fun.
There we go
Spotted in T Wells around 3.30pm. Clean blue 182 with cliosport sticker in rear window. Exhaust didn't look standard.
I was behind you coming out of the Royal Victoria Carpark in a black series 1 106 Rallye.
Not surprised it sold so quick. I called him yesterday about it, would have snapped it up as a daily. My S1 16v is a bit much as a daily. Have fun in it!
Spotted a black 182,caged and sounding pretty fruity Pulling out onto London Road near the old hospital. In fact right in front of me. I was in a black 306 Rallye.
