Looking good, nice shineys!

I think the one I took off probably weighs more than your average one anyway because of the amount of welding done on it haha.

Looking through old mot's, blowing exhaust had been an advisory for the last 3 years haha.

The entire exhaust and box was basically made out of patches and pigeon shit welding haha

Yesh with mine It was lack low down torque but for what I use it for its certainly the best system..

I put it next to the 2" supersprint off my rallye and it makes it look like a peashooter in comparison haha

I'll just have to drive it enthusiastically everywhere to keep it sounding good then haha

Matt is decatting his rallye soon so I'll have a go in that (with matts kind permission :-P) to pass judgement on whether the cat stays or not.
Dum-Dum, if you read this, I think your rallye has the same exhaust as this? The ear bleedingly loud one?

Like you need too ask (break it you buy it)

Yeah, I know the back box is the same but I cant believe mine has a mid box as its that loud, my ears were ringing even with decent ear plugs and like ringing for hours afterwards too. Its alright anywhere but the motorway or stops being boomy past about 90 or below 50

Looks right at home

Blackmasks and new badges sorted too, should be looking good by fcs :-D

Productive day today :-)

Sold a load of stuff this morning then spent an afternoon fitting my new suspension

Gmax shocks and 60mm springs, new topmounts and bearings plus painted the spring cups to tidy the install up

All done and looking good, also changed the Wishbones, balljoints and Droplinks while I was there

Productive day, took all the suspension off again to cut some more off the bumpstops then reassembled cleaning as I went.

All the running gear is now brand new and I'm keen as anything to see now it goes :-D


Then started to clean the engine bay I'll get my rallye aux setup fitted soon then attack it again with the steam cleaner

looking good mate will be like new now bit it is about time the dt got this much love

All the exposed engine parts are coming off to be powder coated/polished anyway, I've just scrubbed the last 15 years of dust and grease buildup off :-)

Just for the lols

Old vs new

What did you use to clean engine? Are you ok to jetwash these engines?

Gmaxx you tight bastard

did my escort on gmaxx pretty shure it was the fact it was a escort which made it handle worst

I be doing my manifold with autosol gave up after a few hours and decided to take it off andnspray it

Stuff called wurth 2040, like wd40 but waaaay better. Literally use it for everything haha
As for jetwashing, I cover the most sensitive parts like battery, ecu and whatever else you don't want water getting in with plastic and tape then focus your attention on the block and head

I do quite like gmax aha it's good for a road car.

I'll be saving for bilstein in the meantime but I just wanted something half decent on there for show season.

I'm moving out of the mothers house soon so can't splurge silly money on shinies like bilstein lol :-(

Just fabricate a small Shack in the corner of your unit tbh, simples.

Service day today:

Dropped the gear oil out, definitely not been change in a while aha

Engine oil next, was so diluted it was basically more petrol than oil

Both fluids filled up with Peugeot recommended total oil

Next up sparkplugs and cleaned the coilpacks, good call on my behalf as the plugs in there were wrong,now replaced with pug recommend ngk


Drained the brake fluid, refilled and bled with new fluid

Cleaned out the throttle body and icv

Removed rusty old airbox, ready for replacement now



Next job for tomorrow is fix the blowing exhaust between the cat and midbox, flush the coolant and refill and fit my ph1 seats :-)

Nice, pug oils and NGK plugs will make a good difference!
Bet that gearbox oil stank a bit....

yeah lol, putting the right plugs in is probably the biggest single improvement ive made aha

old gear oil smells like onion rings to me, anyone else? haha


cant wait to fit my bbm gear linkages, should be a winning combo with fresh oil

Ive gone for all orignal service parts on mine including recommended oil, gear oil and spark plugs. Mine was a huge difference over my dads. Just need to do gear oil and fuel filter tomorrow.

only the best for the '6 haha

i knew mine would have the wrong sparkplugs, there's no way normal people would pay extra for the recommended ones when you can get some ngk that fit for about £8 haha

I only paid £8 for the recommended ngk ones anyway.

What are the actual Peugeot-recommended plugs? I think they often came with champion ones from the factory iirc, however the correct NGK plugs (BKR6EK) are cheap and good. No need for 25 pound super irridium kryptonite thermonuclear race plugs or whatever the cool kids are buying these days.

Kentiiboii the pug gearbox oil makes a really good difference, or did for me anyway.

They're the ngks that I have.

Yeah ive had the gear oil there for a while, just been busy with other stuff for it.
