Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

That is pants! I agree, no rewards for the car until it learns to behave

It's having a pair of cams, a new clutch and a map and that it's lot. Got to use it at Xmas because I have 12 new tyres that I need to get some use out of!

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

Normal service resumed, good stage 1 and then clutch cable snapped when queuing for SS2.
Yet another early bath.
The car is now definitely not getting a new and more powerful engine as it has proved itself to be an utter twat.
Xmas stages in Pembrey next if I manage not to burn it before then!

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

Best of luck this weekend Matt. Let's hope these pair of Peugeots finally behave

Thanks Arwel, you too, car is slow as hell with the old engine back so just going to try and have a laugh!

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

So it's rally week once again!
The Patriot Stages is this Sunday at Caerwent and we are seeded at car 74 out of 100. I have bought some Dmack slicks to try which I've never used before and also some Hankook wets. I've never had so many decent tyres so we should be covered whatever the weather!
There are 25 cars in the 1600cc class so not expecting to win but getting to the end would feel like winning after the way the last few rallies have gone.
Plenty of other turbosporters in action too with Arwel and Lee out at numbers 47 & 19 respectively so should be a fun day.
Cheers
Matt

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

John was saying the other day it's looking good. Will you be spending much time down that office? Build an all steel motor too 185bhp would be lovely! Hehe

I'll be there a few days a week, not sure which yet, work it out as I go along

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

Thats fair enough john explained the cam situation to me too, and it all makes sense now. They rev to 7.5k all the time so it is weird you dropped a valve at that rpm i think yours is the only one i know of

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

You must have had you fair share of bad luck by now matt, pug life is great when everything is going your way but reliability seems to be their biggest downfall. Good luck for caerwent

Thanks Luke, it's back up and running now and I think John has convinced me to order a proper all steel engine from Tommy Field. I'm going to sleep on it and decide for definite tomorrow but think it's the only way for the car to progress.

Ps - found a set of escort carpets in the garage if you're interested?

Cheers

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

It's been a shit year, never spent so much to achieve so little. I'm only lucky that I have John looking after the car or the bills would have been even worse.
I'm paranoid about the car now so want the map checked and the rev limit dialled down!

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

What discs are you running? If they are the AP ones they are prone to cracking, I can sort out an alternative for around half the price of a pair of the AP discs. All you need to do is fit the provided spacers to the calipers as the discs are 2mm thicker, this setup has been run on the Manx and the Jim Clark with no issues.

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

can't believe all the problems your having matt! Won't be long and they will all be ironed out! Also why don't you run your old map with the 'new' engine as it won't be different enough to matter.
