The inlet manifold had a chunckThe 205 v6 I've seen didn't have a lowered subframe. Perhaps the engine was slightly higher or tilted? Maybe even different cv inner? Calibra, how much is it lowered? out of it to clear brake servo was a mess as also engine was not at correct angle. Took to pug1off and had it all stripped out inc a replacement engine and gearbox for peace of mind.

I believe we still have the jigs to do them yes. They'd be a one off and not overly cheap though unfortunately. You need to be aware the shell also requires trimming around some of the seams to get the beam back on  Cheers, Al ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

its midlifes beam from his rallye.i just want no toe. above 100mph its too dangerous for me. i think the toe makes the back end very nervous. the camber is spot on though. ________________________________________ |

Quite likely made to replicate some of the Touring Car setups which ran toe out and handled rather interestingly!There are no standard trailing arms of any PSA vehicle that fit which would give anything less than Zero tow in, most are three degrees or more IIRC. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I've run toe out at the back of mine and its butt clenchingly scary at times, 'don't lift' is all I say to myself as I go round. It is quick though! Wouldn't run it toe out in the wet though, that would be dangerous! Didn't think there were any standard arms that toe'd out, I ran some ZX ones which I think were 0 toe. ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

yeah, its only the ZX that had zero toe, 306's ran 3, Xsara 5 I think!wasn't a rare sight at all to see a BTCC 306 to be backing it into corners, lift, point at apex, pin it!  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

This makes the back end feel very stable at speed, parallel will make it livelier, toe out will make it deadly unless you know what you're doing. I think you need to look at the rest of your set up first before deeming the arms dangerous. I'm glad to help if I can. Arms that have been modded cannot be re-machined. There's various arms we've done floating about, with varying geometry at varying ride heights so you need to be sure of what you're buying. Mid life's will be martins original spec anything different has the geometry stamped onto the face behind the caliper bracket. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Yep, same as martins as I looked into it. What's the full spec of the car, ride height, rake, tyres, hot pressures etc etc. was your incident over Avon rise?How much toe in have you got? Toe in makes it more stable at speed ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |
