not sure, but the ones that were prone to cracking and were recalled had an insert, the later ones that don't crack are not inserted  never saw a cracked one. didn't you say it was 607 "steelies" as they're 5 stud? ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Yeah, I know they're running those too as they're a bit thicker, that's what Foucart runs as a spare, but it looked like that little Clio was on 'em too, which I assume would be the C5 ones Try some on the front of the buggy methinks. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Well, compression damping is set a too hard and the car needs lowering about 4 inches (trying to keep the body off the floor whilst he gets used to the car, bodywork ain't cheap...), but:Whee Slow start is to avoid plastering that poor bugger with the flag in case you were wondering  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

One of the few open formula's left going, if you can fit the engine in and transmit the power to some tyres, you're good. Tbh, the mud saps sooo much power and the traction/braking grip available is so low that you can't go silly with the engine size as the weight just kills you instead. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I will say though, that video doesn't convey half of just how bumpy and slippery the courses are, about the best in-car yet though.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I tried doing video at a trackday once, no matter how quick you go it looks dog slow. I can only imagine how quick you must be going for it to look *that* fast... ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

you can knock the french but they certainly love their motorsport.I cant imagine it happening in the UK as you would have dog walkers splatted still moaning about their rights to walk a dog on a sunday where they like. must be an interesting job you have there phil making these crazy cars. fancy a career swap? better still why not borrow one for pugfest and tear the sacred tarmac up, would eat a buggati on the twisties ________________________________________ puglessPhase 1 GTI 6 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza GB270 2007-2008 rare spiderman comics same day international courier |

I was gonna take the rotary buggy to Pugfest but it's a race weekend so can't get, been trying to take it for the past 3 years!Yes, the french think nothing of shutting down a dozen villages and the main town to run a rally over the weekend, they love it, no moaning, no people grumbling about shut roads, they just grab a spot, crack some beers and the BBQ out and give the kids some banners to wave, it's great. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
