Welcome to my new progress blog ya'll.
This is an attempt at keeping things a bit more sensible and practical for once compared to my old cars.

Starts like this..
Sold my 16v Skip Brown S1 to a member on the Rallye Register, top bloke and i'm sure he'll treat it well.
Quick pics for this who don't know it.



I then went on the hunt for a low owner, low mileage fairly standard Gti.
Plenty of timewasters and jokers out there but eventually found this one.

I've had it for two weeks or so now, drives well I guess and has all the refinements I was looking for with a cheap warm hatch.


IT'S NOT A F#!? ING QUICKSILVER.

So, moving on.
It's silver 2000
92k miles
12 months Mot & 6 months tax.
Immaculate interior and pretty clean paint
3 previous owners
Fair bit of service history
Standard apart from 2" full Pugsport

Plans are minimal really (he says).

-Sort Abs Light
-Full service
-Cambelt (just for piece of mind)
-Find some inner wheel arches as it has none fitted.

The fun bits..
As we all know there is no point having a Pugsport without a decent exhaust manifold so that's next up, need my pop and bang fix!
A more subtle headunit
Clean up engine bay and get rid of the loud BMC DIA.

oh and fit the Compbrake quickshift that arrived yesterday and some uprated gear linkages too.

Pics, I only have three for now, it's currently filthy!

Day off, time to sort a few little niggles and give it a wash.
Gave up on cleaning engine bay after 5mins and whipped off the throttle body, dirty dirty icv!

Runs nice anyway but hey, I was bored and cleaning it will give at least 10bhp so it had to be done.


I gave the Quicksilver, erm I mean Gti a wash and a quick and wax to keep salt and mud off.



Interior was pretty clean so I didn't got to town on that and just took a couple of snap, overall mint not a single mark anywhere.

Cant say they have ever done anything for me but it looks a nice clean little motor,Enjoy

HAD was just waiting for a comment like that .
A few little things need to be changed, if anything just to make it safer!
Tires for one are shockingly bad budget tires. Understeer and oversteer all over the place!
It's getting a service on Friday and cambelt hopefully at the end of the month just for piece of mind.

Plans are to just tackle little things one at a time and stay on top it it make it a happy car instead of throwing money at it to make it quicker.
See, sensible..

185.50.14 currently in but im looking for some 15 inch steels that I can fit some T1Rs to. They tend to be pretty cheap in 195.45.15. And steels will clear the bigger 266mm front brake set up that is will be upgrading to eventually. Again, just to make it a bit safer.

i always rated these. i used to sell these and 6 s back in the day when they were new. sold loads of them when i worked at Peugeot they were a right laugh to drive little gokarts especially on the back lanes where i used to use for test drives

Nonsense! I've owned both and you could chuck the 106 into a corner like you wouldn't believe. They're almost identical performance wise up to 120, then the 6's brawn makes itself known. 106 GTis were beating me down the strip at Santa Pod too.

Dunno about 120 :/

I've had not issues slaughtering many a 106 gti6/saxo vts after 70?
3rd seems to finish them off in my experience as thats when the gearing starts to come into play

I'll race ya'll. 6= small dicks.

Never had a still start 'race' with anyone other than my brother who doesn't rev above 4k anyway. most cars are faster but it has plenty fun factor.

I'd be looking at a 1.4 Xsi gearbox if i wanted it to be noticeably quicker to 60+ but I quite like the long lazy gearing of the Gti box.

Elliotrw i cant agree more. Had a little race with a 106 gti on saturday, i was 2up in the car. Same spec zorst and induction and as soon as i hit about 40-45 in second he had to change so i was gone coupled with a roundabout then a long straight it was a wile till he cought up. Windows went down and he asked what i had under the bonnet. Me being sarcastic said "an engine" then drove off

Will help the engine to rev a bit more freely and give me some more high end power and a more raspy exhaust note. Before and after video coming soon.
