Hi, good job.

Todays Update:

8v TU engine removed:



I have bought a new engine for the XSi. 106 S16/GTi engine, 1600 16v.

106 S16 engine will be fitted soon.

Hey,

I was wnodering when you'll fit a 16V engine, now i Know

You are welcome with all your updates

Thanks for it
Which place do you want to see your car?
106 xsi for road use?
or
106 xsi for race use?

Thanks
TaG

I was sure that a british will put a 16v in his XSI, in your country you have all the rights you want about the car modifications

I am building the car into a track/race car. So RACE USE



Yes, it is quite a common modification in Britain to fit the 1.6 16v engine. I've heard that its difficult to modify a car in France, due to laws?

Update

Engine Purchased.



1.6 16v S16 engine

Yes, for us it is very difficult to have a 100% legal car :cry:

Finally got the fibreglass bonnet fitted.

Not 100% yet, needs some adjustment.

Car is back on 4 wheels.

Removed front bumper, headlights, radiator etc etc ready for new 16v engine.



Going to clean up, remove any rust and respray the engine bay

Hi , in fact , your car will be "Fast & Furious" , LOL !
Your Xsi will be performant like last 106 GTI !


See Ya'



Geek' .

Hi James!

It's good to see a 106 owner called like me!
Your car is very nice and your work on it is very interesting.
I hope to see more pictures soon to follow all the modifications you made.

So, good luck and happy new year!

James
