Peugeot 106 XSI
History
I bought the car back in 1996. I had seen a few 106 XSi's on the road but
they were few and far apart. As this is a rare version of the 106 I decided
to investigate further. I found one close to where I live and decided to
have a look. As we pulled up it stood out from the crowd, although i dont
usually like red cars this one just gleemed and looked eye catching and
smart. I took it for a test drive, the pug handled very well and stuck to
the corners like glue. After i had parted with my cash (ok my dads cash)
which was paid back in full, I decided it needed the Caz touch. Through time
with the help from Bhav & Dave I have added bits and bobs as can be read
below. Considering it is only a 1.4 with Bosch Motronic multi-point fuel
injection engine it produces 105bhp, it has a very highly strung cam and
revs up to 7200rpm which hits the rev limit, the suspension works well and
is firm without being harsh. It has a well balanced chassis which weighs less
than 850 kg, which can enable it to handle corners very nicely. Due to its
size it is very nippy and would even give Dave's a run for his money round
small little roundabouts.
Details:
Car colour is Cherry Red
Nice leather 3 spoke steering wheel
Immobiliser
Peugeot alarm fitted (which goes off if you breathed near it, hence Ive switched it off)
