My 106 GTi... (FAO Gally...)

[Poopensharten]

Hi guys well sadly after the Phase 1 was written off i had to find somthing to bridge the gap until i get myself sorted with finances and what not so i thought the 106 GTi would bridge this gap...

Its a 1999 V plate GTi with 77k on the clock.

As always comments and critcisms welcome

Apologies for the picture quality they were taken on the paschBerry

Behold....

The only thing that i could fault about the 106 was that the seats were a little too worn (the Alacantra on the 1*2's unfortunatley sufferes the same fate so i done somthing about it....)

Before >>>

After >>>

Before (drivers side) >>>

After (drivers side) >>>

Byt anyway, a real credit to the previous owners as the car has really been taken care of bar a few minor things, but that wont take much to sort out, but for what i paid for it and the age of it im pretty delighted on the whole....!

Cheers Guys...!

looks good, i like 106 GTI's.

 

[Russ_16v]

Nice Danny boy!

Red calipers, anything else done to it?

 

[Poopensharten]

The only two mods were the callipers being a different colour and an induction kit which as it stands im unaware of the make, the callipers will be going black i think, im not too keen on the red?

 

[RDH]

Looks good mate.

How does it compare to the ph1, performance and handling etc?

 

[Paul.]

looks good sir

 

[Justin]

Nice! Best colour for them!

Yes id say not red matey, doesn't go well with the red paint, dark silver?

Indy kit, thinking enclosed?

 

[Poopensharten]

Performance wise its not as quick as a 172 (in my opinion)

Although its very keen to shift up the gears and it does so with absolutley no hesitation, its very revvy and id say although your in a better driving position (than the Clio as most will agree its a little inert) it really feels like a wee go kart...!

I do love the wee thing but i did prefer my 172. In terms of fun per pounds, i genuinley dont think theres anything else on the market in terms of cheap motoring without that is spending anout 5-700 on a decent Phase 1, all ofcourse imo

Evo reckon it will touch 60mph in 7.4 even though Peugeot state 7.7 either way its quick and cheap enough to run until im in a better financial position

Not decided yet Russ, i think tyres are the first port of call as although the ones that are on it are new id say you would be better with slippers lol

 

[Paul.M]

Those seats cleaned up nicely
Looks in good condition on the exterior to

edit : whats the book horsepower on these?

 

[Poopensharten]

There 120bhp from the 1600cc 16v but because they only weigh 935kg's they produce 130bhp/ton

 

[Paul.M]

Pretty impressive then I thought they were in that ballpark that but wasnt too sure

 

[Liambo-235]

13bhp isnt it?

Nice new motor

Edit: Just red above, maybe im wrong lol.

 

[Russ_16v]

Sweet mate, what tyres are you thinking?

 

[Naith]

not gonna lie....


i like that!

 

[Alexander]

That's badass!

 

[Poopensharten]

Sweet mate, what tyres are you thinking?

Possibly Toyo's again, i rated them highly (with heat in them)

Ill see what comes up but i never like to skimp on tyres

not gonna lie....


i like that!

Cheers mate

 

[Justin]

What did it cost you Danny if you don't mind me asking..?

 

[R20 CWH]

good work that chief. bargain as well

 

[Poopensharten]

Thanks alot guys id recommend them to anyone whose looking to maybe get a cheap-ish performance hatch

 

[Justin]

How does it compare to the 172?

 

[Merk]

Nice mate, not take you back to your VTS days seeing as it's basically the same car? Manifold and exhaust that bad boy up.

As above Justin matey

In some ways it does yeah but it really is a hoot to drive mate, it reminds me of why i loved them in the first place, there are absolutley no toys and no mod cons, its raw driving at minimal cost!

Ill keep this until the paint fades (or i write it off, whichever comes first lol)

 

[Justin]

Reading fail!

 

[.GAZ.]

Taken it thru the Clyde tunnel?

Nice mate!

 

[jamesybear]

very nice, i do like the 106 gti's and love the rallys but i just couldnt own one

 

[AlexS]

MINT!
106 Gti, potentially my next conquest!

 

[Poopensharten]

Taken it thru the Clyde tunnel?

Nice mate!

I might stick my toe up your arse any more of it wee guy

[jackfm]

Calm yersel!

 

[Feirny]

Nice! Best colour for them!

My mates...

 

[Ally]

Nicely done sir, good choice on colour too.

Those calipers are a gash colour against the paintwork, I'd go anthracite-type colour I think...

 

[Poopensharten]

Aye Ally im thinking just gloss black, was never really a fan of coloured callipers unless they were Brembos/Wilwoods etc

 

[JCC]

Tidy! You modifying it at all or just running it till it dies/you get bored?

 

[R20 CWH]

throttle body heid...

 

[VeinAST]

Leathers looking a little tired but great mileage on it!

 

[Poopensharten]

After seeing what some of the lads have done over at 106OC it has gave me a bit of insight into it...

Possibly, an exhaust definatley as its running a VTS at the moment and the GTI has a hidden back box where as the VTS doesnt

Aye its a little tatty but then again its a used car so im not that bothered about it... The alacantra looks great after the shave though lol
