Picked up this little car yesterday, it was local to me.
It's a one owner car the guys had it for 18 years and it's done £47k miles.
It's a fairly tidy little motor with just one area needing attention on the inner passenger wing. Strangely enough the drivers side is ok.
Paint work is very good and all original.
Plans are to get the bad areas sorted and probably paint the engine bay.
Sort a small oil leak from the engine and it needs an abs sensor.

 

Nice buy, you can always be sure to see at least one of these on track at any track day!

 

There not bad little cars to be fair

 

Nice one. Been looking for a nice wee 106 GTI to tuck away. Currently have a black Ph2 Saxo VTS and another ph2 Saxo VTS...that is Twin Engined lol

 

Spoox motorsport and sandy brown / Colin satchel do some really nice track stuff for these.

 

I build a track one caged 1800cc stroked on ITB's catcams. Preditor ECU .tubular manifold and kit shift boz lemex window kit etc.. 201 bhp went like fook. ..Top motors

 

This ones staying standard guys just sorting out the small rust issues on the inner wings sorted and use it on the nice days.

 

That sounds good mate any pics of them.

 

I've just got a clio ph1 1.8 16v as a daily ..check my thread out have a look mate ..These small cars are awesome on juice .

 

Yeh mat I commented on your motor when you got it mate it's a wee cracker mate takes me back to the days when I had mine. The clio 1.8 16v are great wee cars and sound amazing with a filter.

 

Ah I forget mate . done some work to it since

 

Great little cars these, handle very well out of the box.

Cool little gti this, can't remember the last time I saw one on the road, there was a time when these and the saxos were everywhere...

 

A you lad near me runs a small garage and has been 500 bhp one that he drag races.

I think it has a turboed or supercharged gti6 lump

 

The car was and has lived in Edinburgh all its life mate. The guy I bought it from stayed near Morningside.
Need to get my brother in laws bike out my garage so I can get room to start working on it.

 

Holly crap I bet that goes very well indeed.

 

Wee up date got the front end and side skirts off. Everything looks good apart from both inner arch areas but picked up a new old stock drivers side inner wing panel just trying to source a passanger side now.
Next step is engine out and get cutting and welding. Although progress may be a bit slow as I have a shed load of things coming up in the next few weeks and months.

 

Bonnet opens wide enough

Used to have a 106, just a generic one not a gti. The drivers door used to open by itself around left hand bends.

 

I had a diablo red gti about 8 years ago. loved it despite the niggles.
Trouble with these tends to be when moisture gets behind the underseal/rubberised coating and they rust like hell. yet in other places they are still like new.
Great fun little car.

 

That's what I have found on this one. Just seems to be the front end that needs attention.
My wife had a Diablo red one as well around then think it was a w plate.
