My new GTI

[Philip.]

Another thought, wont the Saxo SS race system go onto the 106 gti?
Its basically the same car...

 

[JoeyD]

Isn't it just the back box that has to be different due to the rear bumper?

 

[Jon.G]

cracking car mate! enjoy it!

 

[Philip.]

Yeah the Saxo ones have a little bend upwards I think, but it can't be that much?
Might aswell go for pugsport to save the hastle, lol!

 

[JoeyD]

Oh, I am!! So much better than the Clio

Thought they're off to the side more too?

Certainly seems the least hassle! lol

 

[Cheeto]

No worries mate

Hangers would need to be modified on the backbox as they are in different places so wouldnt sit right

 

[Philip.]

Yeah just get a pugsport, a s**t ton less hastle! hah!

 

[Paul.]

didnt know you had sold it callum!


It is a very clean car.

 

[alex-avfc]

Looks tidy enough, and very clean. But does nothing for me.

See far too many around where I live with reverse rake, and driven by knobs.

So what? This obviously isn't driven by a knob and doesn't have reverse rake...so what are you getting at?

 

[Ian_182]

Lovely,lovely car.

Sometimes i think its worth paying slightly over the odds for what is a lovely example.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Lovely car, the laguna splitter needs to go straight away though imho.

The only Pugsport to buy is the 2" as well by the way, rasp FTW.

Then Bilstein B8's (Grp N if your uprating the rear ARB), Faulkner 155lb springs, Raceland 4-2-1, Raceland induction, brakes wise 266mm will fit under 14's, but men go for 283mm ones from a Gti6. You will need to get out the grinder though

Unless you get the calipers off the 206 Gti180 .

Miss my 106 :dapprove:

For the haters, i miss my saxo considerably more ...

 

[GM_182]

Stunning example. Congratulations on your purchase

 

[Philip.]

Saxo <3

I also miss mine

 

[Hixle]

Absoulutely mint example mate; I love a good GTI! Never had the pleasue of owning one, unfortunately.

 

[alex-avfc]

Dave your GTI was a stunner! One of the nicest I've seen

 

[JoeyD]

Agreed. I'd much rather spend more on a car that I know is sound.

Laguna splitter will probably bite the dust this weekend when I get round to it. Wouldn't mind a Cupra one tbh, but standard will do for now.
Uhuh, I think the 2" Pugsport is the way to go. Just need to find a second hand one when I've got some money.
And I'm going to be keeping the standard 14's, so 266mm is going to be the maximum! Got some bought on ebay for 60 quid inc discs + pads. Fingers crossed they'll fit with the wheel weights...

Lovely 106 though Dave! Looked in great shape. Saxo's are alright track w**res. Couldn't have one as my main car though!

Stunning example. Congratulations on your purchase

Cheers mate

Absoulutely mint example mate; I love a good GTI! Never had the pleasue of owning one, unfortunately.

You should! It's so much better to drive than my previous Clio. Feels much lighter and nimble - not sure how 1*2's drive in comparison though tbh.

 

[renclio]

didnt know you had sold it callum!


It is a very clean car.

yea mate sold it on now, gone to a good home

Now trying to find a phase 1 172 to make as mint as this 106

 

[alex-avfc]

No issues to report here with catching the wheel weights Joey! I might just be lucky lol

 

[JoeyD]

We'll see! I got them cheap enough, so I can grind them down if needed.

What pads/disks have you got on yours? Seems Ferodo DS2500's are popular pads, along with Mintex ones. Unsure about discs though?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I miss mine too...

Mines was one of the "infamous" two pronged engines... my standard GTi made 133bhp @ 6930rpm..

 

[JoeyD]

Jesus! 130 on a standard engine's bloody impressive!

That's how they look best too; nice and standard. :approve:

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

A few folk were suprised on the day lets say lol...

I will say this on going from a 172 to a GTi.... This wee thing suprised alot of bigger boys in the play ground

 

[alex-avfc]

Did have a hero for a pilot though !

 

[kev182cup]

106 gtis to me dont seem to have aged at all. Whats that a 1997 model? still looks fresh. Loving the china blue one, my old 106 was china blue too

Drive 1 they have aged alright. Lol that looks clean as fook fella. My 106gti was all chavved up when I got it but soon sorted it as parts are pennies. China blue>all oh and speedline comps if ya must. Lol

 

[Waitey]

My 106's!

My GTi

Made 137bhp with just a supersprint manifold and a BMC CDA.

 

[Sir_Dave]

For Alex, as his inbox is full ...

1st one (got rear-ended )

2nd one:

142bhp with 'two prong head', Pugsport 2" exhaust, Pugsport Ramcooler (induction ramcooler) & SuperSprint 4-2-1. Bilstein Grp N's & Faulkner springs, B&M quicksift, morettes, one-off 16" Speedline Chronos, etc etc.

I loved your old one mate, I remember PM'ing you lots when I was looking at getting one! Pity my ZS didn't sell at the time really!

<3 Teh' Alex

I loved your old one mate, I remember PM'ing you lots when I was looking at getting one! Pity my ZS didn't sell at the time really!

I still cant believe i only payed £1700 for it and sold it for £1850 lol.... It really was mint...!

 

[Christopher]

Ahh, the legendary 'two-prong' heads. lol

900bhp.

 

[JoeyD]

Made 137bhp with just a supersprint manifold and a BMC CDA.

Is it worth just getting a manifold with just a standard exhaust? Not really sure what to invest in first...

Are there any other 106 forums other than 106owners? Seems really chavvy on there

Rallye Register is better, just. They tend to be all w*****s.

Mani on a OEM exhaust is the only way to roll, all of the power, none of the c**ty noise.

I'm on Rallye Register too - seems quite quiet though..

Exactly what I want. Is a Supersprint worth the extra over other manifolds (Raceland/Janspeed etc)?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Is a Supersprint worth the extra over other manifolds (Raceland/Janspeed etc)?

Nope. Raceland is exactly the same as the Supersprint, but £90 2nd hand instead of £250+.

 

[Tunst]

Whats the difference between twin prong and single?

All GTi's iv worked on have had 2.. are they ment to be a rare thing? lol


Im considering a GTi if our traders insurance doesnt sort itself out!

What he said. Same design. Just made cheaply.

 

[JoeyD]

SRS!?

Made cheaply as in cheap welds etc? Wouldn't want it cracking or anything...

 

[alex-avfc]

Dave, that is simply gorgeous. You earnt your Sir title right there!

Ste; I'll come and catch up with u in the next couple of weeks mate!

Joey, disclaimer on Kamracings site about the raceland: "Due to the budget nature of this Manifold some alterations may be needed to successfully fit your car. More expensive manifolds such as the Supersprint 4-2-1 and the Piper 4-1 Exhaust Manifolds offer superior build quality. Kam Racing cannot be held responsible for any additional fitting costs you may incur."

I've heard the Raceland doesn't fit that well?

 

[Nickson]

I want my old one back now!
I had a Raceland on mine mate, and it slotted straight on! No problems.

My old one:

Few ideas for some mods..
Get some GTi6 stoppers on it:

Get some cyclones on there

Get a look at my progress blog if you were after some ideas:
