Welcome along...cracking little 106

Must have been a flyer. My old mk2 16v Golf had Jenvey bodies....192BHP/148lbs/ft (Dyno-Dynamics RR) on DTA management

Im sure you wont regret the move to an EK...legendary reliability, very tweakable & that certain bit of Kudos too.

Not looked back since i bought my ITR

Welcome!

 

[DanielsonEK]

the move has been a long time coming cant wait!

rallye was a little beauty,suprised alot of bigger cars including the formentioned starlet turbo and dc2's, was good fun!

hopefully ill have fun in the ek, looks like ill have one just in time for japshow aswell.

it'll be the first time ive gone down in a jap car lol, always been french up till now, i get £5 off my ticket aswell

welcome! are those wheels the BBR comps? those damn things sell for like $2200 in USA!!

i was heading back from work after nights the other morning & a S2 106 Rallye came flying up behind me..

Was all stripped out & caged & i suspect running more power. We had a bit of a play as the roads were quiet & I was very impressed with it. Not a lot gets close to the Teg (of similar power/weight/class etc), but the 106 did open my tired eyes in the bends

Not bad in a straight-line either

 

[DanielsonEK]

the weight is definatley the suprise in these cars only weighed 850kgs caged aswell so was defo nippy, especially with the quaife diff and lower ratio box.

lol typical french car chasing a jap ride, i was a little of the same

blinx- the wheels are oz racing magnesium gravel rally wheels, really light and really rare, mostly found on fords, rare in the uk aswell but unfortunatley dont sell for that much

[EK9 CTR]

thats a very tidy 106.... welcome to the jap side

Smart looking 106, good mods too, tasteful! EK9's a logical step in my opinion

 

[ek_jimmy]

Good luck hunting and feel free to ask if you need any buying advise as i have bought and sold a couple.
Cheers Dunx
