My New Old Pug

[leeds_182]

I used to own this car around 8 months ago but sold it as I just fancied a change but have always missed it since I sold it. The car is a S1 Rallye with 1.6 16V engine from a 106 gti.

I kept in touch with the lad who owned it and we came to a bit of a deal with my Golf and I now have it back.

Since I sold it it has had a fibre glass bonnet (due to the other one opening at 90mph!!), more strippage on the interior, two new seats, updated cams and AT throttle bodies. Its by no means a show car but goes well and sounds good.

Anyways here are some pictures I took on my iphone. Ill hopefull get some nice clean ones in the next few days.

Seems to be missing a fair bit of dashboard. Happy to have it back?

Yeah, its a lot more of a drivers car then the golf.

 

[jenic]

That interior floor needs some attention!

Glad your happy to have it back, dont know if i could of given up the golf though with the amount of money thats been plowed into it!

 

[Brookie.]

I still love that shed! Haha. Good to see it back.
More strippage? HOW?

It was a car plus cash kinda deal so didnt work out that bad in the end. I lost a bit of money but then again........I always do!

 

[daveski]

Are you going to be at tomorrow's KK meet?

 

[leeds_182]

The bottom half of the dash has gone and the rear windows are plastic.

The floor needs attention. Im planning on rattle canning the floors.

 

[leeds_182]

Im hoping to mate. If the weather is reasonable.

Very worthy swap <3

The VR does tend to kill the Mk2's nimble ness + Mk2 chassis is no match for a 106 rallye

Thats whats I thought mate. I used to love washing the golf and looking at it but to drive it didnt excite me in the corners.

From my experience (which it limited) ive found the VW scene to be more about show and less about go which is not really what im into.

 

[alex-avfc]

You got rid of the MK VR? After all that work? I'm fairly suprised

Agree about always losing money on cars, I'm the same. I'd be putting that as close to standard exterior wise if possible

 

[Sanders]

Reminds me of a go kart

Yeah mate, TBH the VR just wasnt what I thought it would be in the end but I still enjoyed owning it.

 

[alex-avfc]

Fair enough, I love your various car swaps and projects!

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Haha you must be mad!! Vids and engine pics needed.

If I can work out how to get the bonnet off I'll try sort somat!

 

[bendee]

did the bonnet happen at mallory? i saw the guy parked up at the side of the road when i was on my way there, gutted cus i had the same thing happen at about 60. i bet its a right hoot what kinda power does it have now? 160-170? mine was 140 and a peach of a car like you i miss it just makes the 172 look so tame and boring.

 

[chriscummins7]

Shame about the golf!! Was awesome! Bet this thing is rapid though!

 

[Matthew]

Haha brilliant mate! Does it feel faster than the last time you had it?

Any idea on what its running now? Must be 130-140bhp?

 

[Ste666]

I thought it was a nice little car that pug, i got to see a lot of the back end of it when we went up to whitby last year

 

[leeds_182]

The lad I Bought it off said he had a rr print for 180bhp but I think that's a tad optimstic!

[Russ_16v]

He said the bonnet happened near his house up here. As far as I know, the only track stuff it's done since I sold it is a few 1/4 mile days at York.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Love it! i miss my VTS sooo much when i look at 106's/saxo's .

Bet this little thing punches well above its weight with 180bhp :evil:

 

[Gaz.]

It's back! I'll look out for it.

 

[leeds_182]

It's back! I'll look out for it.

Saw you today on cammy straight mate. Looking good as always.

 

[Gaz.]

Going which way? Saw the Pug at your work, it stands out like a sore thumb!

Heading towards cammy mate. I don't really like taking it to work to be honest. Had a bit of attention from my colleagues in their audis today...

 

[Gaz.]

Ah, I didn't overtake you did I?

LOL, you've got the Audi too though.

 

[leeds_182]

Very small crap quality video I took today on a 1/4 mile private farm track. I know my dials aren't working but just took it to give an idea of the sound;

[leeds_182]

The car is obviously stripped and the floors were looking a bit tired so banged it into the booth (aka the garage) and broke out the rattle cans!

Before.....

Half way through.....

Sort of finished......

Gonna smash a couple of coats of cherry red on there tomoz and see how it looks.

There's a s**t vid from inside the car on this page but not going any from outside at the moment.

Anyone else would of removed the harnesses, but instead you went to the effort of taping them up!

9/10 effort

 

[182_sport]
