This weekend I picked up yet another Rallye. Flew up to Newcastle and drove it back down. The car in question is infamous on the 106 forums, so you some may know it already. It's usually referred to as RACK, due to it's R489ACK number plate and is the only original 8v out of the three black S2 Rallyes in the UK. Being a German import, it's also LHD Big grin

It's currently standard other than being lowered 20mm on Billies and Eibachs, which I think I'll keep as is. I already have a few marmite plans for it, but on the same principle as my 306, nothing that won't be easily removed. Plans so far are...

306 Rallye front seats, with standard 106 rear seats
Red S1 Rallye carpet and seat belts
GTi CD headunit with 306 steering column control
OMP 300mm Trecento leather steering wheel
Standard steelies on Kumho KU31s
Gloss black 15" Compomotive TH Rallye/CXR
266m 306 S16 brake setup
Raceland/Supersprint 4-2-1
Pugsport 2" exhaust
Standard 8v engine
Colour coded front and rear bump strips (how it should have been!)
Custom crystal headlights
Custom crystal rear lights

It is a really tidy car, and it's clear to see it's had a fair bit of tidying up done lately. There's still a few things I want to sort out now that I've had a good look around it.

Dent in the boot - hoping it will push out from inside when I fit the wiper blank tomorrow.
Dents in the drvers door - Will get a dent remover on the case if I see one at a show, there's about 5 small dents, they just show up in certain light.
Bonnet - rippled along the front edge, will probably get a replacement
Decals - Bonnet and bootlid ones are knackered, side strips are missing a couple of little bits. Will replace with a replica set, hopefully with yellow writing.
Stereo - it has a Sony headunit, but the radio doesn't work, and nor does the source button, meaning that to turn it on, you have to eject the CD. If anyone has a cheap stereo knocking about I'd be interested.
Tyres - It currently has five different brands including the spare, will stick my Superleggeras on for now I think, then see about a full set of Kumhos in time.

That's about it really, aside from that it's a very tidy car! The boot inside had a few scratches, but bodywork wise, it's the tidiest I've ever seen, all the arch panels are perfectly straight and there's very very little rust underneath. The exhaust system is all standard, but it rasps pretty nicely and I even got a few pops out of it Shock Gearbox feels nice and tight and the handling on the Billies and Eibachs is perfect Big grin

Pics...









More to come later!

Mint interior

New bonnet needed TBH, and a new decal at the same time



Glossy steels





More new decals needed

Tidy boot, could do with a lick of paint, but there's not a spot of rust or splitting



Pretty clean underneath too, very little rust under there!

First major update on the car, new (old) wheels off my 306, finally got round to cleaning them and thought I'd give them a go on the 106. Quite surprised how well they look actually, so might even keep them Big grin

Thought I'd stick a few more recent photos and bits of progress from the start of the year onwards on here Smile

Started off with a free (Big grin) Raceland 4-2-1 manifold. It was second hand but in good condition and a straight swap for my standard item. Besides, being fitted before meant it went straight on to my car, whereas the Racelands are usually hard to fit.



All fitted with the spaghetti airbox pipe (rare part that usually gets removed and binned)

I knew the Nordschleife was going to be closed to the public but went along anyway on the hope that there might be something else on the track. Turned out they were replacing some barriers so the whole track was closed.

Still got to visit the castle and had a nosy round the shops up there Smile

Powerstation's RR does show a bit high usually - i'd take that as about 108-110 tbh. Not shabby though!

Keep up the good work Smile
