yeah the engine is pretty much standard bar a few small mods. RR at 184bhp at Waynes/chip wizards.The incident was a wheel coming loose and trying to make a bid for freedom at Silverstone. Lukily Id felt it and had slowed right down before it actually come off, got away with minimal damage really. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Was an awesome day mate, apart from the obvious  Had great fun in my Rallye. Where did you find the pics? Ive tried looking but apparently the professionals on the day wernt uploading them on the net, so you had to buy on the day which i didnt know about. ________________________________________ Cherry Red Rallye - 179.1bhp@fly, 148.4bhp@wheels |

Some tosser undid my mate's wheel nuts and his wheel came off at 60 on a country road, made a bit of a mess. Was a wheel/hub/disc/carrier/suspension arm/wing repair for him.  ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

The joys of being 'too low' you see. Wheel didnt get chance to escape and stayed under the arch/wing. leaving a bit of cosmetic damage  ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

 outhandled by a sierra of all things if it wasn't sitting on the bumpstops all the time you might actually have some grip and not have the arse twitching al the time.... ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Tell me about it, that Sierra's far from a good one either. XR4 with standard suspension by the looks of it!Ben, I'm trying not to take the p*ss here but it's just obviously not well suited to the track like that! |

I suggest all the people who obviously know better turn up at a trackday & show Ben a clean pair of heals No matter what you do there is always someone with 3 posts who's a bloody expert! I'm not saying Bens suspension is ideal by any means but it's not too bad considering his budget... A mate of mine tracks a Sierra with a full race pinto on bodies with full on grpA rosejointed coilovers with ap calipers & 330mm discs, it looks really shit but goes well  Rant over! ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!

Did I claim to be an expert? I do know a bit about suspension and geometry though, but won't go into that! I'm not into willy waving on a f*cking forum.The geometry is clearly to cock on this car though, can't you see that? Like Welshpug said too, the bumpstops are making it seriously unpredictable |

Track day looks like shit though, for almost all that video all I could see were cars infront or cars overtaking, no chance of getting a clear lap in.________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

Hehe I've seen a lot worse, have you seen the 306 v's ringtaxi vid on YouTube? That car has 285mm shock centres & exactly this much bumpstop clearance  It handles well because it has thicker tb's & arb but no one says it's too low, it's the same height as Ben's. I'm sure when Ben stops having to be a grown up he will get his suspension to a standard that someone else with 4 posts will moan about. ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |

Sorry Midlife, I'll go and rack up a few thousand posts then before I express my next opinion  285mm shock centre is no problem with the dampers and torsion bars to cope. Thats actually the height of my 205 track car also. With Martin's car, it is low but I think it's been done properly |

monster torsion bars that's what they'll take some force to get anywhere near the bump stops ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Exact same spec as mine. He's replaced it with a titanium beam now though & saved about 25 kilos... ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |
