There is a 106 that lives near me, with a roll cage and a bloody big exhaust - look very similar to my Ninja.

Anyway, this morning (p****ng down with rain btw) we had a 'play' on a couple of stretches of dual carriageway with one roundabout inbetween. On the straights he couldn't pull away but was quick, and bloody hell was his exhaust loud - I have full de-cat and the stereo on, and could hear his popping and banging etc.!

Got held up on the roundabout (shame as in this weather he would have had no chance), then I went past him on the second stretch put only pulled a couple of lengths. Come the lights he didn't bother as he obviously realised his lack of traction gave him no chance.

Q: What sort of bhp, or bhp/ton could these 106s be modded to achieve? I don't know what model as de-badged - I assume its a GTI?

Oh, I have a MY95 with about 270-280 bhp - 220ish bhp/ton.

Cheers.

Depends on spec really, my 205 will be about 220-230/ton when done.

106 gti is 120/130bhp std, whack a supercharger on and you have 180bhp.

Fair enough, curious really - sounded mad, roll cage, but of course no idea on supercharger.

Surprised as there wasn't much in it from the roundabout in a straight line up to 70ish.

What colour is it and where in the country?

Think it might be Bic's crazy turbo one!

Rick, is that your mates 205 Mi16 up for sale near my folks house, on the bridge? Its a Red F Reg.

Just had a look round it, looked OK apart from the sills

LOL - ok

Its a dark blue colour, in Bridgend S Wales. Didn't notice the reg.

Yup that's the one...

Sills aint that bad yet, solid still so can be rescued, but it's 16 years old remember!

Gutmann pug

They are even slower lol .........

The rest of the car looked very clean and I was tempted at a purchase, but the drivers side rear sill has the paint flaking off about 6 inch with pure rust underneath. Would need some welding doing I would think.

Whats the spec on the engine?

These can be turbo'd or s/c to over 200bhp. You'll appreciate that with say 210bhp and 930kg standard less any reductions its p/w/r will happily match your scooby! I doubt it was s/c as he'd have not put the power down in any gear in the wet!!!

It was very wet too. Couldn't tell if it was turbo'd or SC - but it was bloody quick considering its meant to have 120/130bhp. It wasn't a rallye - has the normal gti alloys.

It's mint apart from that bit of rust, and reallistically a little grinding, welding & a blow over and it's not an issue.



It doesn't smoke...

What you wanna know!?

LG John

Even standard they are quick! It takes me until well into 3rd gear to pass my flatemates VTS when I start behind him. You simple won't eat one from 10-60mph unless you have a considerably more accelerative car.

StiX

iTrader: (4)

Really? That explains it then, I was well into 3rd also until I was passing him.

What scoob do you have?

LG John

I have an S2000 but even my old classic shaped scooby would struggled to lay down the law with them. When it was modified it was a different story

i had a Pug 106 gti until last year, full stainless magnex and viper induction kit. had many a race with my mates my97 wagon and he struggled at times to get past unless in a straight line. great little cars and real sleepers

Barnesy

I had a 106 gti with full magnex exhaust, rapid little cars, much quicker than the quoted 0-60 times from peugeot especially the later ones.
When I picked up my standard subaru my00, there wasn't much in it when rolling up to about 70mph.

This is what confused me - the figures didn't add up.

Modded classic with 280bhp, same figures approx. as a P1, hence 4.8ish to 60; versus 106 GTI about 7.something.

You would think that would be no contest, bye bye imputent little scally - but no, took me until about 80 when rolling off a roundabout to pass him!

The Chief

Well its surprising how little in it when you actually try and pass someone.

yesterday me and a work collegue had a bit of a ding dong down a private by-pass him Primera 2.0 se (128bhp) me A6 2.8 (194bhp) i passed him but i swear by the end of the by-pass he was something like only 5 car lengths behind me.
i was genuinely inpressed!

incidentally i can give my mates (standard) scoob a run for its money...well at least on the straights anyway

Had a 106 GTi a few years ago, and I have to admit they are little pocket rockets, I sold it to my mate and recently I had a Audi TT 225 and thought Id give him a race from about 30mph on the dual carrigeway he started to pull away from me but when we both got over 100mph I started to pull it back and slowly took over him, Both cars were standard.

But I did used to enjoy my little races in my old 106 Gti and I would love to upset a few cars including a Porsche Boxster 2.5 when I stuck with him on the dual carrigeway, he did start it by slowing down then he tried to floor it as we entered the slip road to the carrigeway and i stayed with him all the way
