[Dave..]

But why would you respray something you 'hate' you caahhnnt?

Because the paint fucked off one day and I'd hate it even more if the rear arches got rusty!

 

[leeds_182]

Little update;

Rear discs and pads done.

Power steering pump shagged (new one came with the car)

Alternator screw balled

Money pit.

 

[leeds_182]

Mark from French sport tuning has had the car today. He's done a full oil and coolant change and sorted the wiring for the fan so it now comes on when needed and is not on a manual override! Just need to collect the power steering pump and source an alternator and that should be all the mechanicals sorted.

 

[leeds_182]

First time with a DA today and worked on the bonnet.

Its obviously difficult to show on pictures but here's one anyway;

 

[andywa]

Good effort. Is this a record ? Your a few weeks in and not sold it!

 

[leeds_182]

I'm under pressure from the wife but I think even she realises that ill just end up buying another.

 

[leeds_182]

Dent man booked for the 15th.

Theres goes the budget!

 

[leeds_182]

Obligatory but totally pointless BMC CDA fitted;

 

[leeds_182]

Had some major wheel wobble issues on the 106 since I bought it. I first thought it may be a wheel balancing issue but £20 later and the wheel wobble was still there. At 1400 yesterday I ordered some spigot rings from wheel base and eBay and they arrived today! Fitted them this evening and the wheel wobble has disappeared - result!

 

[MarcoB]

Crazy what a difference spigot rings make, I have to explain to people all the time why they are important.

 

[leeds_182]

I'm a convert.

I gave up, too many people who don't want to believe the spigot is there for more than location.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Never seen the benefit. Wheels on and off all the time.

Think Jim put the wheels on the wrong way round, with only 1 wheel nut. He just won't admit it.

 

[leeds_182]

Found this pic from the previous owner;

One careful owner!

 

[Matthew]

Shed.

 

[leeds_182]

MOT booked for Tuesday.....

 

[plymcl172]

Shed.

agree

 

[m4tt274]

Brilliant car! probably show up a lot of new RS stuff too i bet!

(can of worms opened)

 

[leeds_182]

Genuine s1 Rallye wheel fitted;

 

[leeds_182]

Little speedo vid;

[Donny_Dog]

Illegal.
Water temp looks high too.

 

[leeds_182]

Dials are all reading high. That speed was actually about 70mph.

 

[leeds_182]

The new alternator and power steering pump have been fitted.

I went out for a spin in it today and absolutely loved it, really raw and felt quick.

 

[James Mk1]

Looks quick! Are these really rev hungry engines or do they have reasonable low down torque? Seems like you can get one to 150+ BHP by only spending ~£1200!

 

[leeds_182]

It's pretty torquey - seems a lot more progressive through the revs than the clio as you don't get the 5k kick as such.

Mine has a c2 box with the final drive from a s1 Rallye in so makes it very rev happy in 5th! Good for performance - not so good for economical long runs....

 

[MarcoB]

Need another 106/saxo in my life asap!

S1 rallye wheel looks good, better than the standard one by far.

 

[banther]

Never seen one before this thread now I've seen 2 in a week.

​It may be a rep but did they also do them in white?

Blue, White and Black..

Heres my white one..

 

[banther]

Yeah looked exactly like that.

Quite want one now!! That front bumper looks mean.

 

[Ed.innit]

It lived in glouster when I sold it, and it was on ebay a few weeks ago, was probably mine you saw...

 

[banther]

Well you wouldnt be glad to see how it was being driven!

 

[Laura]

I had a white one, hated it lol, sold it and got another 172

 

[Ed.innit]

Arseholes

 

[banther]

Yeah undertaking on a 3 lane roundabout, followed by driving on the opposite side of the road before cutting in as he couldnt merge.

 

[Fletcher]

What didn't you like about it?

I am quite temped to get one.

 

[Laura]

just hated the way it drove, felt cheap and nasty, and dunno it just felt like it was made out of foil.

I think mine was cursed as is seemed to attact 7 tonne tucks. Ive never sold a car so quickly.

Just not for me, horses for corses and all that

 

[leeds_182]

I'll second that - my cup feels like a Bentley after driving the Rallye but (at the moment) I'd take it over the cup all day long.

 

[banther]

I too hate my Cup at the moment.
