I now have a YouTube! The 106 Diesel Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmB..._RbptstRJ7VNvA where I hope to start uploading some bad and good content about this car and my other vehicular activities!
I thought perhaps it was time to start a new thread afresh.
So, 6 months ago I bought a car for 150 quid. I saved it from the bangers. It's a Naturally Aspirated 1527cc diesel Peugeot 106.

So that was basically how it looked when I bought it. Dare I say that I was excited knowing how good this shell was. It's what's on the inside that counts. And with only 110,000km since new it's not really done much since 1996.
the quick turnaround was removing the bump strips and smoothing out some of the dents. quick paint of some steel wheels. Chuck it in for an MOT (which it passed absolutely no problem).
So here is how it stands at the moment. It's still standard.

So, PROJECT DIESEL COMMENCE!
Specification:
Make: Peugeot
Model: 106 XND (MK2)
Year: 1996
Power: 40KW/54hp at 5200rpm
Top Speed: 160km/h or 99mph
0-100kmh: 15.4 seconds
Brakes: Terrible on the front and 180mm drums on the rear. No ABS
Handbrake: Excellent
Gearbox: 5 speed manual with extra difficult 5th gear engagement.
Fuel: Legal white diesel after giving the fuel tank a good flush.
Fuel Pump: Lucas/CAV DPC Rotary Injection Pump (Type 070). Fully mechanical.
Injectors: Standard with break pressure of 135 BAR. Threaded type.
Engine type: Naturally Aspirated High Speed Diesel
Indirect Injection (the best)
Suspension: Maccy-P struts on the front with some form of funky ARB setup
Rear trailing arm, fully independent 17.9mm torsion bars with 19mm ARB.
PROJECT GOALS:
Make car as fast as possible using as many "standard" or home made parts as possible. This will probably be good in terms of percentage because it's never going to be a "fast" car.
I need a base line to work from, so I'm getting a power run on a dyno this week to see what the craic is!
