1999 Peugeot 106 quicksilver from UK and Ireland - Comments

This is getting rather boring, My car is faster than your car, It can't be because my car is faster and shinier than your car, no my car is faster and has bigger tyres, no, but my car is the fastest off all. Boring. Why dont you guys go and play on the MAX Power web site so people that use this site can make an informed decision on the car there interested in, without adding this filter and this extra to make your car better than the norm, bah bah bah.

GTI? VTR? QUICKSILVER? A 1.4 couldnt beat a 1.6? says who? I would like to see all of the cars mentioned above take on the original 106 Rally! I have a 1.6 8v xsi (105bhp) which is an equal match for 106 GTi and saxo VTS purly and simply because of its weight 950Kg and far superior gearbox and I have had bad expirences of these little demons in disguise! through the end of third the rally will leave all for dead! I promise! However the GTi, VTS, XSi will catch it at around 80! but through a twisty road you have no chance. it all depends on conditions, distance and who is driving!

Boring? ark at the one, this website is for the use of everyone not just people like you, who quite frankly sounds like they drive with driving gloves and a packet of boiled sweets in the glove box. Comment on yours, other cars and experiences.

I brought a 106 Quiksilver about a year ago mainly because it looks great, but performance wise is nothing compared to GTI/VTS...

Can someone who has owned a 106 GTI and Quiksilver tell me the differences between a GTI and Quiksilver? Exept for performance, leather seats and electric mirrors is there any other differences?

I think the Quiky has drum rear breaks instead of the disks on the GTi.

Suspension on the GTi is also a bit firmer I believe.

Can I just say people very nice convo about the 106 gti, quicky and the saxo vtr, vts, but can I just say the 106 quicky is the slowest and worst performing of all of these cars, then the saxo vtr, then the 106 GTi, then the saxo vts, but we are all forgetting the vts 16v OK it still only produces 120bhp, but the 16v makes the accel much better and the top speed is 128 I no this as I have one and I have had it on the rolling road at work along with my m8s GTi.

Guys I have been reading some of your comments about the quiksilver, and Saxo blah blah, and I think the comment about the quiksilver, being the worst one is a load of rubbish!!

I mean with a few tweaks here and there, nothing too much, the quiksilver will keep up and if not beat these cars no problem.

Trust me I know, and anyone that is into modding will say. Also it depends on the conditions and the driver as to how the results turn out, so I don't see how you can say stuff like that. As for the VTR and quiksilver, the 106 is a whole better car hands down. Even if it is slower, who cares, you got the best deal with the quiksilver. Anyone who wants to check that can look in the Max Power modding manual for the 106, it says in there.

End of the day lads its each to there own, the quicksilver is no way near as bad as some of you are making out, you can easily tune a quicksilver up no problem, and it would definatly give the 106 gti a run for its money!!!

Anyone know where I could get the lowest insurance for 106 gti or saxo vts - I am 20 with 2 years NCB?

Seriously half you ppl know nothing about these cars at all :|.

106 gti/vts 120 bhp (all years no 130 bhp version as ppl believe)

phase2 vtr 98 bhp (phase 1 90 bhp)

quiksilver 75 bhp

I've got a 106 gti and haven't been touched by any of these cars, pulls away from phase 2 vtrs virtually no problem.

I had a mk4 1.25 fiesta which isn't lighter than a quiksilver. 106's and saxos are like tins of tuna, gti weighs 950kg..I'm guessing the fiesta weighs in excess off a tonne.

And yes to the post on the 30th of june about ppl needing to research before they come on here is bang on.

Well guys you all seem a little deluded. you should go for a daewoo. I have a daewoo lanos. not the 1.4 but the 1.5 camira engine. now its pumping out around 85bhp and no hatchback short of a vts can touch it upto 50mph. then it has serious problems. I know the problem though and that's the fact my induction cone (a custom one I might add) is rather large and lowers back pressure at around 50mph. I shall rectify this with a smaller tighter cone and maybe a few tweaks.

Now the discussion?.. get a starlet turbo glanza 1.3 :D.

Please explain how an engines induction system can affect it's back pressure. If you can then I'll eat my hamster.

I just about to take my test in the next week which car is the best 1 to get and the most nippiest?(pug 106 quiksilver, saxo vtr or the westcoast??
