Newbie, another 106!

Hi all!

Thought I'd sign up on here as I've seen a couple of members (Jonny-R, Dave-R) on my usual forum (106oc) have joined up on here, and I'm planning to do a few track days next year!
Also recognise a couple of you from the early days on there

So, here's my car, Peugeot 106 Flatarch.
Spec:
1.6 16v GTi engine (with what might be a JP4 head, but we're not sure)
GTi brakes
XSi Rear beam, XS front struts
60mm drop
XSi shocks
Rallye seats





Looking to upgrade the shocks, brakes, and maybe have some nice seats and two different sets of wheels/tyres by the time next year's shows and track days come round.

Hope you like, I'll be sticking around!

Chris

Me and Jon will be shot for bringing more and more 106s on here.

Welcome over Chris! Flat arch is looking good. Do you find you use a whole bottle of bumper black, like Jon does?

Stick around and come join us at some track days. I did my first track session with these guys and I'm totally hooked now.

Cheers Dave!
I don't tend to use that much back to black actually, it's broken so often that it doesn't really get worn off

Definately planning some track days next year, probably cheaper ones though. I'm guessing my first will be something like the Spring Performance action day at Combe, relatively close and nicely cheap!

welcome over to built4106owners mate, nice little car there should be a good project to keep my eye on. Bet it's a little sleeper aswell.

Hi mate welcome over! How're you getting on with problem shooting the 16v?

i am joking - i want another saxo

Fudge me another S2... I may just buy another XSi for a bit of variation

Welocme over mate... I rechognise the locations of most of those pics... where abouts do you live?

Cheap trackdays are what we're all about... the more people we geton board the cheaper they become.

Stick around, i'll be sorting us for spring action day after xmas... will be good fun.

Cheers Norledge, seem to remember you from the early days of 106oc. Did you have a valver'd diesel that looked a bit like mine?

I'm in Quedgeley, just outside Glos. I see you're not too far

Assuming I can get it running nicely fairly soon, I'll definately be saving up for a few trackdays with you guys

hi, have just signed up. I only have a lil 1.1 s2 at the min. but do have a few plans for her. i am also on the 106oc (username is the same). look forward to seeing what is happening on here and learning some new things along the way.

you will learn the built 4 track way mate if you stick around..."drive em in, tow them out"

For example

I thought that was more the french car way?

Nah the french car way is

"push em in, tow them out"

Nah the french car way is

"nah I wont buy it"

:p

The french car way.... is the only real way.

The French car way is to remove all the parts that say "Made in France" and replace them with parts made in Germany, Italy and England.

No wonder so many french cars are death traps with English parts.
