S1 Rallye

[leeds_182]

I'm pretty sure this was for sale on here before but I've bought it today.

Really tidy, 16v but still got the 1.3 box and in true rally style it has already broken down.

[Jack!]

Nice one

 

[Russ Rallye]

What! That's my old car! Did you text me mate for details? I totally forgot, I meant to text the owner as I would have bought it back, loved that car! What's happened to it, saw on 106rr he'd had a prob with the gearbox or something.

What happened to it?! So much time for the rallye! Would buy my old one back in a heart best if it ever came back up!

It was me mate. It had an issue with 5th gear so had it to a specialist so all is good now. Its such a nice little car, I love it.

 

[Russ Rallye]

Sorry mate I did mean to get back to you! Never mind, at least you bought. Its a great car, so many good times were had building it and using it as intended, just used to get to me that things would break or fall off it on a regular basis even though all I ever did was look after it!

Thats rallye ownership!

 

[Russ Rallye]

I think tbh if they're used everyday they're fine, using them at weekends or dry days like I was didn't do it any favours. We had a standard white S1 on a 96 N years ago that my wife (then girlfriend) used as her daily and it never missed a beat. Enjoy it and keep us updated on here and if you need any info or help with it just give me a pm or text seen as you've got my number.

Nice. I was tempted by this myself ( I saw it on Rallye register ) but one french hatch back is enough trouble TBH.

 

[leeds_182]

Cheers bud.

 

[Matthew]

Nice! Was this the one we were going to buy for a track car?

 

[Daz.]

OH MY!

 

[leeds_182]

No mate, this ones a lot nicer and a lt more expensive!

 

[Adamm.]

Awesome! Always loved these cool little cars.

 

[Stay Puft]

Love love these! Paint work looks good aswell!

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Love that!

 

[Matthew]

Thought this one looked a minter!! Ha

 

[Ash']

Looks excellent in black, i must say i'd love that!!

 

[jamesybear]

Loving looking example, always had a soft spot for the s1's!

 

[Hixle]

I bet that's a riot to drive. Love it.

 

[Gally]

Love it. More pics of the Ka?

 

[LiamR172]

Cool car, is it a stadard 16v or are there fancy bits?

Bet it goes well eitherway!

Its a c2/206 jp4 1.6 16v with 106 gti cams, pulleys and valve gear. 106 gti inlet manifold and ecu, stainless 4branch manifold and peugeot sport decat exhaust, should be 140-150bhp and quite torquey, built a few if those motors and it was certainly the quickest one I'd done.

Looks spot on. Any plans?

Bodies, cams, standalone management but I really must resist.

 

[leeds_182]

She got it that day, it's sporty!

 

[andywa]

This will be epic!

 

[Russ Rallye]

You'll struggle with cams on that motor mate unless you put pistons in aswell due to the closeness of the valve to piston and the shape of the top of the standard jp4 piston.

[LiamR172]

Was it you that done the conversion on the clio or was it a previous owner?

A boy from my area has a white 106GTI with GSXR bodies, cant remember off the top of my head but i think its around 160/165bhp? would be good fun but the GTI i owned before has put me off buying one again!

I though you could run a thicker gasket and get away with it? I might be totally wrong though....

 

[Russ Rallye]

You 'might' get away with it but it'll be close regardless as the pistons don't have cut outs in them + the tops are flat instead of dished like the j4 gti ones hence why yours had higher compression. IMO it doesn't need anymore power, some itbs would be nice for the noise but means putting it on standalone management etc

[leeds_182]

I always need more power. It's a disease.

 

[Russ Rallye]

I can teach you how to drive it if you want, will cost you a lot less!
