Rb182cup+s2 rallye
i received a new kit car washer bottle off ebay for a very good price and fitted that last week in the passenger side door card.
and today i went on a treck to do a wheel exchange with Dave_c. i took his 15 inch speedline turinis in exchange for my steelies. got them fitted. need to do something about the height.
got turinis? daily and track toy now reping speedlines

jt yes mate it was the pump that was knackered, replaced with a gti pump and its working great. i can still feel it cutting on corners but it doesnt cut out just hesitates so ill be sorting a swirl pot set up out once i figure out exactly what i need. ive put a thread on rr but its had no replies and doing a search brings back no decent results.
daz, yeah its a shame i really liked the steelies they make the car but ive got the 15s for decent tyre choice and brake clearance. its abit past the standard looking car point now.

I do like this. I also prefered it on the steelies.

the tyres on the steelies where utter toss in the dry the car would move about alot and you had no confidence. a hell of alot of fun, good to drive but they just didnt work. i swapped the steelies and these plus 100 his way the tyres are toyos and are brand new so was more than worth it. i was going to put r888s on the steels but id had similar tyres on the last rallye and it kind of took away the fun of the car so im trying to find a happy medium with a tyre that will give slip but not constantly.

haha just not been on for a while, might have to stick it up.

Hey this is my old car, you've really tidied her up mate. She was as rough as anything, which to be honest I loved! The car was built on a very low budget, but like you said in your first post does its job very well. It really goes like stink this car, I'm glad you've done the little bits that needed doing. I did the bodies and cam conversion. This car was just a bit of fun, you need to get it rolling back on the steelies tho. It easily wipes the floor with much more exotic cars In my ownership I did a few 1/4 miles which it came top of class running some very respectful times on that very long horrible vtr box. Jim who you got her from has kept me posted on your progress. I'm glad I've finally found a build thread on her, I've got a few photos from even before mine or jims ownership that I found on the net from years ago if your interested. Any way keep up the good work and enjoy her for what she is. And if you ever think you might want to sell her please please give me first refusal, I love this car. Joe

ah mega cheers if you could forward any pics and info onto me at benlee990 @ hotmail.com that would be great. yeah id only got the car like yourself for some fun but ive just not been able to stop spending and here it is today a fair bit fancier than when i got it. it certainly is a quick motor and would defo hold its own against some big power cars.

Well I'm away this week, but give me chance and I'll get some stuff over to you, pics from when I had It, from before me or Kim had it, rr graph. I'll email them on to you, likewise I'd like a few of your build pics. Awesome little car. I've still got loads of 106 bits for sale including a 6point cage, strut brace, 421 mani. Again cool car mate!
Rb182cup+s2 rallye
took the car to mallory on saturday and managed to get a blast on track. right before my first session the car over heated in the paddock and like a complete moron i slightly undid the radiator cap and boiling waer exploded everywhere. still cant belive i did it, went all over my arm face and mates face lucking just slightly red on our faces but my arm and armpit came off worse my arms blistered.
let it cool down re filled with water and away i went only managed 2 laps on the first session.
the car was suffering from real bad fuel starvation as you can see from the vid. enjoy

Swirl pot is defo needed it ruined the time on track. But the was what the day was for short sessions to see if any problems arose. The normal pump was fine on the road but on the track it was constantly struggling. I was hoping it would hold out till after the summer but it seems I'll need to get it done before then.
Rb182cup+s2 rallye
It's just gradually got worse and the old pump gave up. The new one is fine on the road but on the long fast corners of Mallory it obviously struggled. From what I've heard from people with similar specced rallyes it's a common thing. I just have no idea on what exact parts I need for a swirl pot set up. Cheers for the comments guys.
Im coming round to the wheels I think it looks much more purposefull now. The steelies where nice but the tyres utter toss I'd of been all over the track with them. They just fell apart with any kind of heat in them.

I have read through the entire thread, I like what you have done with the car. It looks a lot better than it did when you got it. I have seen this 106 quite a few times, the last being when Leeds_182 had it at a TOPO meet. It has gone through a hard life but you have brought it back to life, nice work 
Rb182cup+s2 rallye
Bit of a shitter of a situation I'm in atm the car suffered really bad with fuel starvation at Mallory, not the end I the world a swirl pot set up would sort that. But recently the cars been drinking water quicker than a thirsty eithiopian child ala headgasket failure. My plan with the car was to do fcs and the hour on track and one or two more track days through the summer then take it off the road and sort the engine bay build a new engine new brakes etc and underseal it. But now with the headgasket gone I'm not really wanting to fix it just for a hour at donnington, that's money I can use for what I have planed. So Its looking like I'll be using the clio on track not my ideal car to be using as its my daily and it just doesn't get used like the rallye and the fact I've spent so long building the rallye to what it is for the track.

Today i got started on stripping it down im not rushing this and im actually quite excited as this will be the finishing touches to the car that i always felt let it down. so whilst ive still got alot to do and spend its the start of finishing it off. the second chapter if you will.
A couple weeks back i painted the drums and calipers as they were previously red and im not a fan of standard brakes done red, they aint brembos so stop trying imo. with the steelies the faded dirty red didnt show through but now with turinis the let the car down. nice clean and most importantly black.
The headgasket had gone at the front of the block just above the alternator and you can see that it had been loosing quite abit of coolant.
Today we moved some cars about so i could get it to the top of the drive where working on it was going to be easiest.
This is its new home until i get it back built up and rolling again you can see i already started labelling the loom up so i know whats what.
and this is how todays finished not massive amounts of progress but i had been doing other jobs clearing a outside cubard out for a place to stoor all the rallyes bits.
the plan now is to remove pretty much everything and leave just a shell. the whole underside will be stripped and under sealed. everything in the bay will be removed ready for rust removal paint etc.
Ive got a lot to buy i wont list it all as it'll be too long.
Ive got a choice to make with the engine as well. do i do a high comp build with more head work and standalone ecu to get more power.
or
do i build a fresh 16v, no massive mods just stick my cams in maybe a little head work lightweight flywheel, standalone ecu and my bodies. That should give me a little more power than i already have and be the cheaper of the two options.
power wise i was happy with what i had but a little more isnt a bad thing. itd just mean more money and longer off the road....

Could be related mate - fuel starvation will make the engine run lean. Could have popped the headgasket
Gonna be awesome when it's rebuilt though - there aren't many rallye's left in this condition!

The bit that's gone on the engine is the outer bit so it leaks coolant. Performance is exactly the same so I'd guess that wasn't the case. Thanks for the comments tho.
Gouldy yeah the engine has ph3's and as the cams are coming out and I'm not using this head upgrading to ph4's could be done. They need abit of headwork to fit properly tho don't they? Would anything else need upgrading for them to run? This is all stuff I need to look into before going ahead with a build.

That's good news - a mate of mine had fuel starvation in his 16v xsi on track - completely destroyed 2 pistons
Rb182cup+s2 rallye
i dont think ive put the vid on here of me on track at mallory ill stick it up in a moment its quite bad just sounds like im on the limiter all the time. i think i turn to my mate half way through and say this isnt good lol.

You need pocketed pistons to run PH 4's
I'd recommend some decent connecting rods and forged pocketed pistons with the PH 4's. Not cheap I know but you can't time up the PH 4 cams on the standard pistons.
If it was my 16V engine I would fit the above with your ITB's and use the OE ECU getting it mapped at chipwizards.
Rb182cup+s2 rallye
today i stripped the old block down, im going to strip it and keep bits for parts sensors coilpack etc etc. makes sense with these cars.
i found the leak in the headgasket
i then took the bodies off the head, before so id looked down the bodies with the butterflys open and was shocked at what id seen pretty much a lip of sealant all the way around that would of restricted the air flow into the head. the work was done by who i believe to be a reputable tuner and i believe the bodies wouldnt of come off the head before. this may or may not be true finding out wouldnt be hard tho.
this picture was taken after a few bits had been pulled off (i didnt think to get a shot just after pulling them off the head) so it was a little worse than the picture would lead you to believe.
Ive been slowly adding new parts to my collection, s**te weather all week has meant my week off has been abit of a waste in terms of sorting the shell. bit of a bummer really.
I got a Quaife quick rack off pete
Also i got a DTA s40 pro standalone ecu and loom.
Also i picked up some fancy brake lines witch consists off speedflow anodised fittings goodrich hoses banjos and t peices and a willwood bias valve.
I also picked up some powerflex rear beam bushes
And finally today i got back from viewing a nice low mileage jp4 block with all new bits and bobs on it picked it up for a bargain price just need to fit my cams in and bolt the bodies on.
I picked this sealey engine stand up for a extreamly good price for when i pick the new engine up
Thats it for now im waiting on some bits to arrive and still have plenty more to order. im trying not to think about what ive spent and what ive still got left to spend.
