I'd keep that C2 VTS manifold if you're boosting. The plastic one will explode with amusement with boost
I was on the look out for one for a while up north, but they go for sub £250 as quite a few northerners are boosting 106's.
And IIRC the 172 injectors have a bigger spray pattern, and are ideal for boost unless you want to fork out for some new shiny 600cc ones.
And for rust check under fuse box + Ecu tray as thats a common place for rot on 106's if they havn't had arch liners on.

If you ever need a hand with anything give me a shout, i know these cars inside out.
Any progress lately? Oh and i'll reply too your text now haha
Matt
I guess you know Wayne and Ryan then? Yours the black 306 Rallye? Jage's got your old 106, my mate Bev was thinking of having it.
Yep i know wayne and ryan very well
wild bastards! i used to work with them.
Yep mines the black 306 Rallye and i know Jage but he has never had any cars off me. Kelvins current 53 plate saxo VTS is one of my old ones though.
Who's was Jage's black S1 Rallye then? I heard it came from one of Calvin's mates... Seen your Rallye about before, it's lovely
looks slightly worse for wear than mine haha, hows the boot holding up?
next job on mine is behind the headlights and tidy the boot

The boot floor is pretty good which I was happy about, notorious 106 spot and all that, the exhaust hangars are barely attached anymore though, what I thought were knackered rubbers is actually the metal moving :-\
Ah well, it's getting sorted :-)
Yeah, any time I think my 306 might be a bit rusty I remember my 106. 106s rust baaaaaaaaaaadddddddddd.
Holy shit i miss my S1 106! Epic handling car! Was considering buying a 106 XSi again after the Tubby, but ended up buying a W124 instead.
Did a bit of info into these when i had mine and the rallye engines can hold some power tbf, most i saw was 130 bhp on stock, but the shorter ratio boxes and lightness meant it'd beat almost anything in a straight line...
And the corners.
I can't wait to drive my rallye with all new suspension and brakes, It had almost physics defying cornering before I took it off the road and that was with almost everything knackered!
I really want to buy another rallye in complete original condition just to keep as a minter lol. Also quite a big fan of the little 1.3 engine, they rev higher standard than the 16v!
But yeah, they don't half bloody rust :-(
Those 1.3s are a peach...just over 100bhp iirc and rev to over 8000rpm....awesome
Yeah really want one as well.
Looking good!
buy mine
will be up for sale in a few months (hopefully) pretty much had a full rebuild by then
Thats a really nice rallye. Had a shot of one a few years back and I was blown away for what it was.
Nice work

306oc ftmfw!!
Anyway, I'm currently in the process of trying to find out what gains are to be had from modifying a clio 172 throttle body and injectors or if I should stick with the current j4,maybe just tweak the fuel pressure regulator then get it mapped on a rolling road
Basically I'm attempting to build an ultimate n/a setup rather than a flat out power build, as I'm sure if you've ever driven a quick 106, over 200bhp in such a tiny car is just a sure way to kill yourself...
Anyway, lots of custom shit and shiney parts coming soon haha
I know another car forum that's like that, by the time the question was answered, you answered your own question or sorted the problem.
Also the info was a little too conflicting for my liking, so I am now my own support.
Nice to hear its getting restored, also weigh those minis in for more space! less of those and more pugs!
Haha one mini has been f*cked off to make space for the gti6, just a shell and all the parts left to rebuild it left now
Most of my 106 related questions I just ring Matt now anyway lmao

This pleases me
you should pop over the man cave! johns bought himself a sundance 106 gti shell and i have yet another £150 saxo vts turning up sunday
That man cave is smellier than an ogres armpit...
Maybe thats why Ozone has kept a enviromentally suggested distance away
Usually i hear an asda van crash to a halt outside and he comes strolling in
he doesnt like coming round as his jealousy for the amount of french twincam cannot be contained in there
