Nice car! Is the 104 basically the same as the Talbot Samba then? Yes, the Talbot Samba and Citroen LNA are both copies of the Peugeot 104ZS LNA is a direct clone. Samba is 8 inches longer and shares only the bonnet panel with the short ZS. Mechanically identical.

Awesome little car mate, bet it is great fun. I was just wondering about your bonnet raising. If you have found it to be effective you can ignore this thought, but you may find that you will actually be directing air into the engine bay, rather than letting it escape. It is likely that the base of the screen is a high pressure area, and the air under the bonnet maybe under a lower pressure so therefore won't escape. At a stand still, obviously this won't apply but at speed it may actually be counter productive. Not trying to be a smart , just thought you may want to experiment with it up and down now you have the cooler fitted.

I haven't seen a 104ZS for years and years, so long I can't remember the last time. They were never particularly common, but they had quite a high image for sportiness back then. I was four or five when the ZS came out and my parents went to the launch (my dad had a 504Ti). One of the free gifts was this 7" vinyl record which they gave me and was the first one I ever owned. I played it and played it until my parent's banned it! I think they regretted giving it to me. The 104ZS song is tragically bad beyond belief.

I owned a 1983 104 s 5 door. I ran it for a year or two in standard trim, then took it to L.A.D Larton Autos when they were preparing Rally Sambas. The car had 37000 miles on the clock. Dropped the car 2" at the rear 1.5" up front, munro shocks all round and springs, beefed up anti roll bars front and back. Big bore Janspeed pipe. New Rally head and manifold, twin webbers on big chokes, wild cam ( wouldnt idle below 1700 revs) lightened flywheel and all the other tweeky bits, forged pistons etc. Compression ratio was so high it was a joke...it would rev to 7000, but flew at 5500 to 6000. Boy did this car howl !! and was super quick......would lift a wheel when pushed into corners, never lost it once. Being a 5 speed, needle went off the standard 120mph clock. The engine went bang at 65000 miles and i scrapped it. Shame would have made a good hill climber. After that bought a 2.8 Alpine GTA Turbo and now have a blistering 500hp 1934 Ford Roadster Hot Rod which i have had since 1997. The 104 s was a great car.
