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

[The Chubby Pirate]

Rory whats the leather filler you used? I quite fancy giving it a bash, the interior really is the only sign its a used car

Is it worth it?

 

[rory182]

I can't remember the name, its at my folks, not sure how long it lasts. Is the leather black in yours? Could try some of mine see what the results are like, clean and feed the leather first though.

Looks lovely that mate! Get a nice 4-2-1 mani, BMC filter and a pugsport and you'll be laughing aswell as subtle 40mm drop all round = perfect

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I think it might be blue, im gonna give it a good clean in and out tomorrow. Absolutley delighted with it

The full exhaust system is appealing as they add reasonable gains

I would love camshafts for it as it can make them 1*2 quick with a few other choice mods (so i hear anyway )

[Russ_16v]

You cant spend too much money on it, its only a stop gap!

 

[Hixle]

I realllly fancy one of these next...may look into it. What are they like reliability wise?

 

[Gally]

I've never heard of any major problems with them and they are piss easy to work on.

Keep on top of the suspension tho, bushes and rear beam ect...

God I miss that silver on I had! Hated the colour but what a fun car.

 

[Hixle]

Cheers Gally, may look into it next year.

Looks very tidy Danny!

 

[Gally]

Suprisingly more fun than the zs mate, same idea, small, light and nimble, cheap!

 

[mr bognor]

Very nice Danny i had one in blue before going back to the 172

Well for what i paid for it i could have had a stage 1 put on a Corsa VXR, not that im thinking of getting one next year or anything

No problems thus far mate not even a rattle or squeak, so touch wood it stays faithfull to that...

My only tine moan is that the brakes on these arent matched to the engine at all, i suppose its nothing that could be put right for not alot of money but caution is advised

Very nice Danny i had one in blue before going back to the 172

Cheers matey, pound for pound its cheap fun

its fun but i still miss my Phase 1 so much

 

[Hixle]

I can imagine mate, I love my ZS but it just lacks power.

Ok for doing over 1k miles a month though?

FAO the brakes, if they're anything like the saxo vtr ones I would plan on uprating straight away!

 

[Sarah]

how you liking it compared to the ph1 danny now uve had it a bit?

Its perfect for a daily commute mate it doesnt guzzle petrol like a 172 when you seriously kick its hole in as much as it loves to be revved...

Believe it or not ive only just insured it this morning as i wanted to pay it off in full so its been sitting pretty at my dads for the past 2 weeks lol...

Only really played with it this afternoon briefly Sarah

I think this thursdays meet with the scottish boys and girls will give it a good run out

Enjoying it thus far but i still miss/prefer my Phase 1, to short lived an ownership i think

Boom Boom Tish. If I didn't post someone else would LOL

[Sarah]

[Moby]

Dont worry, at some point there will be another Phase 1

 

[Gally]

I'm coming just so I can see you face and the vts wannabe tbh!

 

[Ali]

Canny mind if you said...Why not another Renaultsport??

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Canny mind if you said...Why not another Renaultsport??

Insurance was pretty mental Ali, i was paying £1000 last year and it was gonna go up to about 1500 if i got another 7-8 year old Phase 1.

The 106 will do for now until i sort myself out financially
