Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
You know when you lose that a part comes loose without any drilling out, rounded off bolts etc?

Not the case with my manifold.. Standard one was pretty much rusted on so I attacked it with a blow torch, WD40 and the Persuader (hammer).

Surprisingly all the studs and bolts came off fairly easy apart from one right underneath, the most awkward one to reach. I spend an hour drilling, hammering and generally threatening it.
Just went to buy some hardcore drill pieces and a few hacksaw blades.
Lambda sensor is still in old manifold so that will no doubt give me grief too.woooo

Also gear selector controller has lots of play in it, gearstick had a lot of play in it side to side. The usually its a small pin that's worn out in the controller arm. Will need to be drilled out and replaced with a bigger bolt. Such an awkward angle do i may just have to deal with it until I get a better excuse to get the box off.

Was gonna say I've driven 106 gti's and owned several 6's and have always found a standardish 6 to be quicker than a 106 Gti unless they are running cams decent manifold and a remap then their rapid little things ,
Have to say though that 8v 1.3 rallye put a big big grin on my face when I first drove it down the back lanes near Callum's. Felt really chuckable as well.

Have you tried a new lambda yet mate? Bet it cures it is the most common fault I've found with them really. The boosted 6 is back on the road again and soon to be stripped :p.
Also we're all showing our cars at santapod next month got a couple of stand passes extra so let me know if you wanna come up.

Nice progress, those omp's do make them sound like a little rally car, however its not really sensible now is it? lol

Had a supersprint on my old spaxo which was basically like the pugsport and that drove me nuts on the motorway.

Had one on of these on my mk2 golf turbo with a straight through used to pop its tits off !!! Awesome exhaust

with cars like this the trick is just to keep em looking standard but super clean and quiet but fast so they're a bit of a sleeper

Well well what's new.. Not a lot.
Arty engine bay shot

I had a standard system fitted after the OMP and it was just too boring. I replaced cat with a Scorpion decat pipe and it freed up the revs nicely. Added a raspy note too.
My 4-2-1 is angled up too hight which resulted in the exhaust system knocking on front ARB.
So...
Pugsport back on

Plans are New performance tires.
I had a lil moment, sideways moment the other day.. Unexpected lift off oversteer on a damp road. Swooping left hander, back end kicked out, and slapped back and forth. Luckily I've had other 106s sideways before and won it back.
Still shat me up a bit as i didn't see it coming!
I blame the old and average tires.
