@TOMMYtotheG16 жыл бұрын
Gibbo205 hi mate, it’s a tough one. The 106 was a awesome car but under powered on the straights. But when things do go wrong there crazy cheap to repair. The clios again are awesome cars but are more expensive. 172 Cup is the one to go for as they have most of the bits removed already and have a wider track. Hope this helps 👍🏻
@Gibbo2056 жыл бұрын
Thank you for that insight, so would you say the 106 GTi was the more fun and engaging car to drive on a b-road then? Have been looking at maybe either getting an old not so great 106 GTi PH1 for not so much money, or cough up the extra money for a mint 106 GTi PH2, but your talking 5-6k and the same money also buys a Clio 182 Trophy. Just want something that is a proper hot hatch, light, raw and oodles of fun. All the new stuff has got too big and has rubbish boring turbocharged motors.
@TOMMYtotheG16 жыл бұрын
Gibbo205 It defiantly has mate. It’s a very hard one and I’m currently looking myself for a clio or a 106 again. But I Ian wanting a black 106 non sunroof model like my old one as a project for track days etc. Trouble with the 106’s now is the inner wings and the boot floor rot. Hence why there isn’t many left now. I personally would go with a 106 gti as they are great cars and will appreciate in value as well which is a bonus.
@Gibbo2056 жыл бұрын
Thanks buddy, yep is why I like the idea of a 106 GTI, you only have to look at what mint 205 GTI's sell for now! If I go 106 GTi, I assume the performance figures are a bit wrong? As 106 GTI has 0-60 of 8.7s and the Saxo VTS is like 7.6s, yet both the same car, was the Peugeot under-rated or did Citroen lie? Lastly easy to extract a bit more power from, say 140ish?

InframePerformance • no worries. Yeah defiantly get sliders. In summer and on track it would get really hot inside without the slider. You could get a roof scoop but it’s easier with sliders. You can make a Perspex piece that sits in the slider rail that’s removable so it acts lock a lock so people can’t open it from the outside.

InframePerformance • No you wouldn’t want them to go down and up as it will scratch the hell out of them on the rubber scraper seals. The need to be fixed. Obviously the benefit to them is they shed weight so you want to remove as much as possible from the doors. Mine were attached to the runner but the motor was removed and the door loom stripped. The metal was removed on the interior panel also to remove more weight.
