Been in a few but never driven 1 myself. Had a 205 1.9 years ago with a 1.6 box on it. how would a 106 compare to this?

I see from other forums that alot of people still like the 1.9 205 as a track car. Is this because they are better on track or just cheaper than the 106

cheaper, the tu 16v lumps are easier to tune for more power than the 8v 1.9 lumps

great fun little cars, easily better than a 2 litre corsa. (even though they are french shitboxes)

make sure you fill the boot with spare gearboxes and clutches though as they seem to be made of plastic, have had 3 enquiries at Vspot about fitting recon boxes in the last few weeks.

they respond well to cams, we have fitted a few sets and they have the benefit of having adjustable cam pulleys as standard
