Popular Post ae85 fiend Posted July 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2020 I got bored the other day, and figured i'd need something new to drive once my porsche sold. I bought this Peugeot 106 Apparently had been listed a few times. Bought it sight unseen, only really asked about the clutch - and typical dealer. Lied. It'll be a cool little project. Its an XSI so has the 1.6L, 5 speed manual. Everything standard Has a crazy amount of receipts and wof sheets ( rebuilt head & practically every wof is a clean sheet aside from odd tire every couple of years ) Good things: Has quite a lenient wof. Has rego. Has 4 wheels. It starts ( just ) Bad Things: Clutch slipping Shocks fucked Brakes suck Who ever painted it, shouldnt be allowed to paint. Broken Left park light / indicator Broken Passenger mirror No fog lights Goals: Replace Clutch Replace buggered shocks Fit brake upgrade Lower 40-50mm Tidy up dents & broken parts Tints Respray white & Fit / find Rallye Guards + stickers 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae85 fiend Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 I've started ordering parts Got me a exedy clutch, all new shocks, got a brake upgrade, threebond cleaner all turned up Got a front lip to mod and put on too. Waiting on my short shifter, gear linkages, new key and lowering springs to turn up. Using Early 206 GTi Rotors & Calipers, so goes from a 244mm to a 266mm vented + bigger calipers ( was hoping to go to the 288 but realised the wheels were only 14" so unsure if they'd fit ) So they'll be cleaned, painted & rebuilt. New Rotors & pads. The shocks are a crazy funny length, the rears are tiny. Like 320mm extended. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Nice. Neat little cars. My sister had a 1.4xsi the same colour for a few years. Love the topendy feel that tu engines have. You’ll need 15s to clear those brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffe Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Nice! Good to see someone finally picked it up and is doing something with it. Where’d you pick up the shocks from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just merely went to work and ordered the junk. Worse comes to worse, i'll try find some 15" minilite reps or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
