my 106 gti

First topic message reminder :

picked this up a week ago after selling my 207 sport. fancied something abit older and exciting to drive. (pics to follow on shortly)
its 99 model with the half leather and alcantara interior, 105k with 2 owners from new and a folder of reciepts like nothing iv ever seen before. only mods are a straight through exhaust to a standard back box but gives it a nice rasp until i can get a pugsport system and sports cat. (need help with this btw)

i look forward to that day haha, still not seen your gt in the flesh either mate

The GT`s on the drive, i haven`t driven it for months tbh. I`m planning on sorting it during March, if that doesn`t happen i`ll be selling it. I`d be happy to change it for a 106 tbh, the C2 attracts too much attention.

what you mean by attratcs too much attention? too much of the wrong kind of attention i take it?

No, everybody wants to race it, even pensioners, it brings the pratt out of everybody. You sit at traffic lights, junctions, it rumbles like a rallycar, everybody looks whatever age, gender, race, everybody.

suppose it would get abit much as a daily driver really but still was the 106 not as crazy then?

The 106 was, it was really noisey inside, i used to wear ear defenders when i drove it, but it was a rallycar, the C2`s a road car.

If noise = power!!! I'm all for it.

I know of someone selling a 106 1.3 rally with a fully ligthened and balancced engine for £1000, if any of you are looking.
