Mb's 106 S2 Rallye.

[T0M722]

you know after seeing how much you rev when driving at high speeds

 

whats the mileage you get on that car because with my own experience little engines can have a whirlpool in the petrol tank when speeding....

 

and Tom722

when are you coming to the Netherlands?

i should tell you watch out for the cops here the police really are a buncha A-holes

 

but where will you stay here? dont tell me you'll be in the east of the country....

 

 

I think around July. My grandpa is Dutch and he's getting really old so I suggested that I take him back to Holland one day. I think it would be an excellent trip for him because it's a nice way to end your life to go back one final time, also I would enjoy it as I've never ever been overseas :)

 

I think I'd be staying in Eindhoven or something since I think I have family there. I'm not too sure where I'll be staying to be honest though. It should be fun If I come though.

 

This trip depends on his health and if he's well enough to travel overseas, as he's 88 years old and recently diagnosed with Emphysema...

Has that TomTom satnav speeding data fiasco settled down yet?

not entirely sure it seems tomtom has taken measures against it but i always have a Police detector on me when i drive around, nevertheless i think it has calmed down a bit though

Duuuuuuuuuude! I'm from Eindhoven :eek:

Duuuuuuuuuude! I'm from Eindhoven :eek:

 

i have lived near there but i moved to the Hague im not so happy bout the "gangster" kids walking around here these days, our legal weed sure messes up the youth here...

 

although it still is nice to live here 27 degree here atm :D

[Mb]

Lol, my parents moved from the Hague to Eindhoven.

[Mb]

Last night it broke down, twice. #fml

 

The head gasket is leaking, so cooling liquid get's into the cilinders. So on 80km i 'burn' 4L of cooling liquid through the engine. I planned on going to the Nürburgring on thursday and to Italy on saturday, but that's impossible now. :(

Getting it to the garage when i come back from holiday i guess...

[TheXRacer]

Head Gasket? <Whistles> You're in it deep now dude.

[GTAMADDOG]

Someone else a victim of the head-gasket failure this year :(

 

My sister's boyfriend had it twice in a month on his Discovery TDI because the garage who fixed it didn't skim the head or put new stretch bolts in. Sold the thing as spares because he never wanted to see it again and bought a Polo, lol.

[Mb]

Head Gasket? <Whistles> You're in it deep now dude.

Yep. Repairs will cost as much as the whole car probably... :(

[TheXRacer]

That's assuming it's done properly.

[DJdan]

hhmmm

 

i remember my M3 breaking down and costing me a whooping €5,500

 

but i think your better off as it is a more reliable car.

 

i hope you'll have it fixed soon though that way you can race in ur little car again

[Mb]

Yep, and i want it to get done properly.

Wait, you call French cars reliable?

I knew the head gasket was going to blow uit, only time would tell. It was showing some of the "symptons" but still sucks it happens now :p

[Mb]

Just to update.

 

Got the whole head gasket thing sorted. Everything has been revised and it cost me an arm and a leg. So it's making it's kms again. :D

[TIMELESS]

Good to hear, congrats :)

[Mb]

Thanx. Going to the Ring in 2 weeks, not sure if i dare to do a lap yet though :p

[Camel]

Go onnn, you know you want to. :p

[Mb]

True. That's why i'm testing my skills on an illegal track near the airport over here :lol:

Had some great fun playing with a 997 C4S just now. Owner gave me thumbs up aswell :D

[Mb]

 

It survived another trip to the Nürburgring. :D

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Did you drive it, or not? Also, did you post that pic somewhere else, too? :confused:

[Mb]

Didn't drive the Ring. Need neew tyres, the current ones suck.

Uh, could be. I'm on quite some forums, and on Facebook :lol:

[KoenigseggBG]

Wow, Mb, that's awesome! I knew you won't ruin the car you drive with useless tuning. Good job on the 106 so far and I hope you'll have a lot more pleaseant and accident-free kilometers in it. :)

[ADV-93]

Wow, that'a gorgeous motor man!

I've got a Phase 1 106 myself, only it's the 954cc TU9M!

 

Obviously being the owner, you know HOW RARE these Phase 1 106's are to find in Black! Especially the Rallye!

 

Any tips for the performance versions? I'm looking into getting a Phase 1 XSi...

Well, as it's French, and a Peugeot. Make sure you have enough money for maintenance. Since i own the car i spent more money on fixing things then the car cost me. Try to get one with as much history as possible. Especially regarding the head gasket, rear axle and belts.

If you get an XSI, get the 1.4. They steer a lot better then the 1.6 and the gearbox is better. And it's more luxurious then a Rallye. I have nothing, only a radio (which i hardly use as the car makes enough noise. :))
