David's 1992 Peugeot 106 XSI 16v project!

[DavidsVTR]

Done afew bits on the 106 over the past few days.

- fitted snap off boss and momo steering wheel
- fitted rear bilstein B8s

next, i plan to remove every wheel, check arches for rust, check brakes, and seal/ give each arch a lick of paint
Whilst the front wheels are off, ill be fitting the front B8s too

my long term plans are to upgrade to better, bigger brakes.... But this wont happen yet

[DavidsVTR]

Update:

when I b ought the car, the front bumper was In a pretty bad state. So I decided to fill, sand and respray it
i also fitted yellow tinted fog lights

I admit, its not 100% perfect, but it looks better than what it looked before

this is is how it looked before:



And now: only pic I got ..... (it's very dusty in the pics)




Random pics...

Rear B8s are on



pugsport




So here are my next plans on my to do list:

- fit front Bilstein B8s with new top mounts
- fit lower omp brace
- paint brake callipers
- clean arches

[DavidsVTR]

Update:

Done afew bits on the XSI over the past week.

- Cleaned and painted rear arches
- took both front struts apart ready to fit B8s
- drained gearbox oil
- replaced both inner Cv boots on the driveshafts (both split)

Now awaiting delivery on parts to finish the front struts. Needed both collars to fit the b8s
Also got afew more juciey parts on order so keep your eyes peeled

Pics of progress....

Arches cleaned and painted -



Struts taken apart -




Ohh... And I also purchased this. .... A VW/ audi cup holder! I'm planning on fabricating this into my dash somehow as my previous saxo lacked a cup holder.




To do list:

- fit B8s when collars arrive
- refit front stuts
- clean front arches
- fit interior panels
- see to fuel gauge (faulty)
- ... This list could go on and on.....

Afew more parts awaiting delivery

PM'd and emailed but never got back to me ...
But I've sourced some now so not to worry

[DavidsVTR]

Update:

Fitted rear panels today
Also fitted some little carbon touches to cover up the holes on the boot floor. Need to make some more though to finish it off

Here's some pics..
Really bad pics... Make it look more orange for some reason?

[DavidsVTR]

Updates:

Both front struts are assembled and refitted with Bilstein B8 inserts and brand new top mounts.

My future plans are to upgrade the front brakes, but since funds are low, and these pads have plenty of life left, a lick of paint on the calipers will do for now




Ohh, I also discovered why my windscreen wash wasn't working....



This has now been replaced

That's it on the update front for now.

I have purchased this though ... a 1:43 model peugeot 106!
Thought it would look good on the dashboard at fcs

I know it's not the XSI model, but it still looks the part (apart from the Roland garros seats )

[DavidsVTR]

Update (ish)

Done afew things to the xsi over the past week or two.

- replaced auxiliary belt
- replaced oil filter and changed the oil
- replaced the gearbox oil

So all nice and fresh

I have also purchased some carbon mirror caps I'm in the process of fitting them

I have also stripped both doorcards down. I'm gonna replace the front speakers. Maybe fit carbon fibre doorcards.





Here's a pic of how she stands ATM.
Excuse the faded bump strips and arches, I will see to them later




My to do list over the next week or two ...

- source 4 x new tyres
- refit doorcards
- refit mirrors and caps
- fit cup holder into dash
- fit lower omp brace
- clean icv valve


Comments? Thoughts? Opinions? Dislikes? Likes?

[Manwhore]

Love it !

[DavidsVTR]

Carbon Mirror caps fitted! look better than I thought tbh

I also cleaned the mirrors and treated them with autoglym bumper gel, as they where very faded!




Also, all alloys have been removed for fresh rubber in the morning! (hopefully!)

Decided to keep the original XSI alloys to retain the 'standard look.'





Once wheels and new tyres are back on, I'm going to be looking into getting her on the road and insured

[DavidsVTR]

Update:

Cup holder is cut into dash! also recieved a custom dash badge to fit over it. Many thanks to 'Galpin auto vinyls' for this highly recommended!







I have also fitted a citroen AX aerial bung...




Now I have a bulb fault to find. Reverse light and drivers side indicator not working... Tried new bulbs bug still no light

[DavidsVTR]

Update:

Cut out and fitted some interior carbon covers today& finishes the rear off a bit better IMO



Also fit a car fire extinguisher between the 2 seats



And fitted some stickers to the exterior



And then recieved some tailored floor mats

[Jizanthapus]

Looks awesome, it's really come a long way since you got it.

I'm not sure if I missed this bit out but what are the seats from? ATR?

[Gandi699]

really like this build and what you've done with it, come from a bit scrappy looking to very tidy indeed.
However Ive never been a fan of the standard xsi wheels even in silver, do you not think something like some vts wheels would look smart?

Thanks mate

Not too sure tbh, I bought them from someone who allready had them mounted onto saxo frames, but he seemed to think they where from an Evo of some kind

I love the vts wheels! Thy pic makes me want a set even more.
Will probably look at getting the rear raised a little before I look at a different, bigger set of alloys.
So yes, vts alloys are in my plans! (that pic has convinced me to get some )



Updates:

got the car on the road just over a week ago, and it's allready 'broke down' twice!

1st. Coilpack plug connections were loose
2nd. Gear linkage popped off!

Also had a snapped powerflex exhaust rubber on the first day or driving!


And lastly been having bad idling problems and slight misfires Won't keep a constant idle and threatens to stall.

And now and then it'll misfire when setting off from a junction.


but out apart from that hectick week, she seems okay


i have also purchased a carbon fibre gear knob








and spare wheel having a DIY spray job as it was standard silver.




Oh.. And my TRE spare wheel strap, custom made to match the colour of the harnesses



And here's afew pics from since having her on the road







the pugsport is hanging slightly low on one side due to the snapped powerflex rubber. It now has one tempory standard rubber on until I get a new one.

[DavidsVTR]

Updates:

still got got the bad idle and misfires now and then Allthough I will still be driving down to fcs

fitted the spare wheel and secured with the spare wheel strap




car has had:

- new NGK spark plugs
- new fuel filter
- replaced a snapped powerflex exhaust hanger
- new icv valve
- new air mass sensor

i have also completed the cup holder

roll on FCS (if I make it there )

[DavidsVTR]

Had a very good time at FCS in the pug ..Although she suffered several problems during the weekend! - was a weekend to remember that's for sure!

She suffered:
- broken handbrake cable
- overheated Friday night
- overheated and split rad hose on the journey home!
- faulty alternator

but apart from that, she ran well

after the the weekend I decided that air flow and cooling is next on my list.
the 16v lump gets VERY hot under the S1 bonnet.

So plans are:

- 2 x slimline fans
- remove fogs and fit S1 rallye fog inserts with cold air feeds
- fit Morette headlights with both inner lights removed with cold air feeds
- fit a BMC CDA induction kit with direct air feed from inner morrette light
- bonnet raisers for ventilation
- Uprated silicone coolant hoses
- brand new alternator
- heatwrap the manifold

So yeah, watch this space

here's afew pics of the XSI at FCS.
if anyone else has pics of her, please share with me

[Gandi699]

Reckon it could be the water pump maybe or something else? Looks like you've got a big rad in there already would have thought that would have been ok for cooling

Could be. Something else to look into.

When it's threatening to stall... The engine makes like a 'pulsing' sound. (Hard to describe)
So Could be some sort of pump, maybe fuel pump.


update:

havent been on here for a while so here is afew updates.

since returning from FCS, the car has changed lightly....


- morette headlights fitted. Both with inner lamps removed.
- front numberplate relocated to bottom and now has 5 holes drilled into bumper for better air intake.
- bonnet raisers fitted to help hot air escape
- front tow strap fitted (properly!)
-volt gauge installed to front pillar

i have also purchased ...

- front rallye fog inserts
- heatwrap for manifold








I am going to be spraying the rallye fog inserts black before fitting... Allthough the yellow fogs are starting to grow on me a little!

the car is in the process of having a new alternator fitted.


So on my to do list:

- fit fog inserts
- heatwrap the manifold
- find some silicone coolant hoses

i am on the lookout for a set of fibreglass bucket seats. (Something similar to the 'sparco rev' seats...)
and then on the look out for a full cage maybe

[Dave_P]

Split rad/overheating could be sign on impending HG failure. Let's hope not.
