Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

Sunday will be our first outing of 2015 at the Rali Cwm Gwendraeth in Pembrey, we are seeded 42 and hoping that 2015 will be luckier than 2014!!

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

Well, not quite the result we were after! Car was definitely quicker and we even caught and passed an Impreza in stage 2 and I was starting to think this could be our day but it wasn't to be. First stage we lost power steering after a couple of corners but dragged the car round to a respectable time although we were held up very badly by catching a Micra that I guess didn't see us as he didn't move over for a long time. On stage 2 the power steering failed again on the way to the start line so it was another tough stage but the time was 14 secs quicker than the one before, on this stage passed the Impreza and got held up really badly again but by an MG ZR on this occasion. Fixed power steering for stage 3 and I felt we were going really well but sadly the car just stopped half way around. We were recovered to service and found that the alternator had died. All my fault this one really, put a new ecu in last minute which gave us more power but stopped all dash clocks and gauges from working so had no idea that battery wasn't charging. I've also cracked a brake disc.
We're supposed to be doing the Harry Flatters next in a fortnight but I've decided to skip it and give the car a bit of attention with that money instead. Hoping to get the ECU mapped properly and toying with getting one of these fitted at the same time

I've also ordered longer trumpets for the throttle bodies in a quest for more torque.
New target is the Patriot Stages in Caerwent at the end of September. I'm going to take the positives from this event as although the car broke we took good chunks of time out of a couple of cars that have been beating us all year so I do feel that as we develop the car we are making progress.

Re: Peugeot 106 Cup Car

Wurzel - I made a kit for my cup car that use a modified but easily available disc and a caliper spacer (as the disc is 2mm thicker so less prone to cracking!!) as I could not justify the cost of the AP ones and kept cracking them!! My friend had the kit for his cup car and he did the jim clark/isle of man and all the gravel brc events with them with out any issues and he is mega hard on brakes!!! Never cracked or warped a disc since. I will look at the prices for the kit and let you know if your interested?
From memory a pair of discs and caliper spacers was a little more than one new disc from AP!!!!
