Stuart

you've got a nice project there stuart!

what's your set-up? bike carbs or tb's? your inlet pipe looks nice...is it from colin and sandy ??

tell us a bit more,there are plenty english spoken guys here..

i've just seen your gear linkages on the pics,impressive! is it all home made or a kit?

everything so far (apart from engine internals) has been done by me.. but the wiring and painting will also be shipped out i think...

i`ve had the car for a few years and before this rebuild it ran a shenpar built engine, piper 285 cam, R6 carburettors, balanced bottom end, headwork, with a few other bits..

peugeot sport coilovers/uprated bars/OMP cage and the compomotive wheels..

it was used everyday as my commuter car and i loved every second of it!! the noise is immense!..

but i found a few areas of rust and decided to use it as an opportunity to build the car i`d always wanted..

as with most projects things have gone crazy.. i never planned to do so much.. the top mounts/gear linkage/front panel/cage/dash............ the list goes on!! hahaha

it will now run gsxr1000 throttle bodies with a TDF ec1 ecu linked to the racetechnology digital dash the inlet is similar to Sandy and colins (i do know both and there great guys, its colins design on my gearlinkage that i made) but has a few differences.. on theres the trumpets slip inside the bodies but i have welded a flange on the casing allowing me to use any of the jenvey bolt on range..

haha the gearlinkage is something that Colin satchell has been making for years for 205`s and 306`s and 1 106 racecar.. after a year of me moaning and asking for a kit he kindly gave me some dimensions and pics and i was able to make my own version..

after seeing the reactions of people that then saw mine he has developed his onw kit, slightly different to mine but basically the same operation.. he sells them for £300 uk/pounds i beleive....

nice!
well done,it's great to see so much good work in a 106!!

thank you..

when i found the rust i was tempted to start again with a C2 shell but am pleased i stuck with it.. i have loved the shape ever since seeing 1 of the first S1 rallyes in an english dealer..

Hello, welcome here, and thanks to you to share your wonderfull project with us.

domage que je ne parle pas anglais!

Welcome here

nice job on your xsi !!

nice job xsi'addict and welcome

Welcome ! Tres beautiful work on this 106. I hope a day that my 106 will have a similar look even if the engine preparation is lighter .

great project
Good parts and i think really great knowledge

I'm fond of your work, i'm eager to see the result by pictures and movies.

is that a part from motorcycles engine?

which piece?? the carburettors i used were from a yamaha R6 and these items fitted now are from a suzuki gsxr1000/750..

thank you for the kind words.. I should say i am a welder and sheet metal worker and have also worked as a machinist and CAD draughtsman in the past. If i wasn`t able to do this myself i`d never be able to afford it all...

That's quite impressive but the blue definitively don't go with the red.

haha the primer is only temporary until the metalwork is finished, then the car will be blasted and repainted like this:

That's a lot better, can't wait to see the evolution.

merci!! haha

Welcome here

good job
