An Interloper, now with added Peugeot.

[PhilMk1]

Hi guys

I'd love to say that I own a 205 Gti or a 106 Rallye or the like but atm I don't actually own a French car, I'm just looking for help finding a few bits to help fix a friends 205 Gti.

Hi Phil, and welcome

What're you after?

[Reviled]

Gday mate, what exactly are ya after?

[PhilMk1]

Gidday guys, I posted a quick WTB in the parts wanted section but to begin with I'm just looking for a drivers seat rail.

[PhilMk1]

Well I suppose I'm not an interloper here any more. I just bought a 97 106 Gti. I'm still uncertain as to whether this was a good idea :p.

[Lord Page]

That is an extremely good idea!

It was indeed bought via Glen. It looks pretty damn tidy but it's my first foray into the world of French machinery and I'm not totally sure what to expect. Fun little car so far though, I'd be keen to come by an Auckland meet sometime and say Hi.

Oh yea, grabbed a couple of pics of the beast itself.

that car is mint. good place to start in french car ownership!

[pugMi]

good score. thats a sweet car
is the S16 a jap spec GTi a bit like 306s?
anyway, very noice and welcome

[Pee Dubbaya]

I would say the S16 badges and Rallye stickers (bonnet) have been added. Other than that it looks pretty tidy. Can I ask what it set you back?
p.s. find some twisty roads and I'll bet you'll reckon it was best purchase EVER!

[PhilMk1]

Yea, the car is actually a Gti, it's just sporting S16 badges. Perhaps the last owner liked S16 more.

What's the market value of these just out of curiousity? I've barely seen any for sale, a gold one on TM about a year ago and the high miles blue one on TM sold for $5,650.

the gold one with 151k on the clock was 6.5k (bought by me)

[PhilMk1]

Hi again guys, just thought I might do a bit of grave digging to show some pics of the current state of my 106. I found some Cyclones after some searching, fixed up the curbing and painted em up. It's sitting a little lower now also, Eibach springs and some Bilsteins.

I'm not fully sure why my mates camera is on hipster mode but yea. Pic was taken in the natural habitat of the Gti, winding roads...

Tasty!
