Now I'm a fully paid up member I thought I'd keep track of the progress of my Rallye on here.

I bought it back in Feb 2009, these are some for sale photos:




Came fitted with a Magnex and K&N, all standard apart from that.

After a week or so I started swapping bits over from my old '6. That was the crystals, Speedline Comp2s, Pipercross Viper, Longlife exhaust and a couple other P3 bits.









I did manage to sort the paint on the rear bumper and ran it like this for a good while. Did the normal 306 repairs, namely rear axle mount, P bushes, drop links etc.

Looking at its best:




Then I had a little incident abount 15 months ago and the bonnet popped up smashing the screen, ruining the bonnet and putting a small dent in the roof. I took it off the road at partially fixed it but it has now sat like it outside my mums house ever since.

Now I've moved house I have a garage, its not big but can still get the car in so the Rallye is coming home for some loving. Will ge pics up later in the week.

Plans are to fix the damage and do some small resto jobs then keep it as a summer car.

First question, to Mik, Coskev, etc, does anyone know of a hammerite type metal paint that is a near match for Cherry red? It doesn't need to be perfect as it'll be for tarting up underneath.

Darren

Looks well with the Speedlines silver

The red Hammerite or Rust Oleum do will be close enough to do the underside

The enamel I used was Blackfriar QD90 Metal Paint - Red High Gloss see here - http://www.blackfriar.co.uk/qd90-metal-paint - over the top of the Bilt Hamber Electrox zinc primer.

I had problems with POR-15 and replaced it with the Bilt Hamber stuff. I've had no problems at all with the Bilt Hamber Electrox see here - http://www.bilthamber.com/pro-introduction.php?cname=Corrosion%20Prevention&name=electrox

The Bilt Hamber stuff is excellent.

The Electrox is a high-zinc primer which is a very well-proven method of stopping corrosion in the most extreme environments - in fact zinc galvanising is already applied to most 306 panels (notable exceptions include the chassis rails underneath, which rust more than the rest of the car). The zinc acts as a sacrificial anode and prevents the steel corroding.

There are photos on my thread of the red wheel arches - Blackfriar enamel over the Electrox primer. The Blackfriar enamel is not as bright in real life as it looked in the photos, especially as it has gone off properly now.

Cherry Rallye SOLD

I had a weekend free as the gf was at work so started stripping




Whilst at it I found its had a replacement nearside rear quarter early in its life, must have been insurance job as genuine Pug panel was used, however where it was spotted back on rust had set in




Stripped down the n/s front arch to start work on it and found the usual surface rust plus two small holes where idiots have missed the jacking points





Also started removing items from the engine bay to have a tidy up




Then under the battery tray was the electrical thingy, looks pretty manky, anyone know what it does? Will it need replacing?




Finally I got my mate to weld up the drivers seat as it wouldn't recline



The Mrs is working again this weekend so Sunday I shall be attacking the car again with grinding wheels, wire brushes and plenty of bad language.

Woaw, never saw that much rust on a newer Peugeot! :O

need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com

Bring on the Trumpets.

Mine was rusty as fook!!
2 days of scraping/sanding/wire brushing, then some rust proofing, primer, red hamerite and a load of waxoil and it looks much much better
Worst part was the underside of the boot floor

Team Rallye - the leaner, meaner, better looking sister of the GTI6

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fecking temperamental. 

Speedlines or cyclones?



I'm an accountant and I've just got a new job with a large firm and will have to visit a number of clients and want to use the Rallye during the summer but don't want to give off the wrong impression if you get what I'm saying.

Speedlines fo sho'!

Good update,ALOT of work ahead of you

Speedlines get my vote,but you need Eibachs on the front and torsion bar lowering to match IMO.




And you have bought a Magnex!!!!!!!!!!

They will love that........

Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress.

So the girlfriend was working a night shift and sleeping all day so had a chance to get more work done.

The Bilstein B8's and 40mm H&R springs arrived from Rallye1999:



So it was in to the garage and out with the old (standard) and in with the new. Also checked over my BH primer I'd applied a few months ago, looks like good stuff, no rust reappearing.








Was going to fit my 3 inch Magnex but it must have been modified by the previous owner as it doesn't mate up to the cat. Cat outlet is 2 inch against the midbox inlet of 2.5 inch. Need to get someone who welds on that. Poly exhaust hangers too.



Stealthy setup in my P3 parcel shelf. Alpine type E speakers mounted in the OE position.




Got to the point where I could do no more to it today, it's at my mum's and I left my wallet 50 miles away at home, doh! So gave it a little wash.




(Don't worry those wheels have never seen the road on my Rallye, they came on my 206 daily runner)

Tried on my new OZ's. They're mid refurb at the moment. Unsure whether to go black or stay silver?



And no, I haven't adjusted the torsion bar yet, my boot doubles as a work shed, nice stance though!



Finally I won these on eBay this morning:



What would be the cheapest setup to fit these? I've read RichW was using 406 V6 discs. I don't want to go down Ash's route as the rotors are a bit too expensive for me. I know I will need brackets made up to mount them. Anyone have any experience to shed?

how much were the brembos?

you really can get lost derusting, i spent a good few weeks in my garage preparing my Rallye over the few years.

My Rallye project thread

Been tinkering again today, bloody NHS shifts for the Mrs means I barely see her at present.

Change of fluids for the old girl. Genuine Pug filter and gearbox oil.




Then a couple of upgrades:

Group N gear linkages



And the old



Not really supposed to be driving it at present but just did a lap around the block really tightened up the gear shift, feels a lot lot better.

Also fitted a PTFE gasket, been after one for ages then Ed Beano's for sale ad came up.



Took a lot of effort to get the face of the head clean



The old one just fell apart!



Mounted



And fitted



No offence to people who have done it but I don't like to remove a fog light, or Rallye blank for a cold air feed, prefer something more OEM. This is my first attempt. Need to order up some silicone hose to mount my Pipercross Viper now.



Speaking of OEM, I fitted some cyclones. Not sure if it now sits too low on them though. Can't decide if the look is better on the cyclones of the OZ's.




Brembo's are probably a no go now though, the eBay seller is being a cock!
