ZX usually runs same as a 306, ET19.Not sure if it'll need any work at all other than taking the centre bore out by 1.7mm as they're a ford fit currently, just trying to find the inserts for them at the moment as they are proper Motorsport wheels and they are missing. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Haynes manuals and the interwebs, also epic list of bookmarks on my Desktop PC.Part numbers generally come off servicebox unless I remember some. MO's will weigh more though how much I couldn't say, they are more of a rally wheel so will be strong, though if they are more recent ones they will be lighter than old ones. These TH's for example weigh about 8.8 kios, the new casting they are producing is under 7 kilos for some offsets. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Glad to hear the rusty piece of crap is being sorted. Great idea to put the interior back in before doing the sills, it'll burn nicely, the way it should  Still can't believe you talked me into that trip. 7 hours of my life i'll not get back. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Done naff all for a little while again, but today got a fair chunk achieved.I'd removed the driveshaft nuts a few weeks back, so to get the shafts out was easy enough, wheel off bottom balljoint removed and shaft pulled out, drained the oil whilst faffing about supporting the RHS of the car (it's on a slight slope which makes everything a PITA, and a bit dodgy  ) undid the two 11mm nuts on the Intermediate driveshaft bearing carrier and whipped that shaft out, oh the wonders of working on a car you've already had apart, no seized bolts!Bought some ratchet straps, only girly ghey ass skinny ones, but they were all I could find and be bothered to hunt for, slung a 2" dia bar resting on some wood across the bay and popped both straps around the engine.  Undid the downpipe to manifold 10mm's, then removed the LHS engine/transmission mounting and cradle. Marked up the clutch arm+shaft, removed the wiring support bracket, popped the clutch arm off then the starter motor.  removed the remaining bolts, pulled the box off the engine.   So at the mo its sat on a trolley jack and two engine mountings with a T-bar stopping it swinging forwards, waiting to be whipped out which I might do later with a hand off my brother. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

More done today.One engine in the back of the trusty 405, its been in here before, about 5 years ago!  Set the height roughly on the crane, reverse the car up to it, pop a bolt through the D-shackle  Take up the tension with a ratchet, drive the car forwards!  Shift it into the garage out of the way, pop the gearbox on.  Lower the car on the jack, swing+shove the engine into the bay, jack the car up enough to get the LH mounting bracket on the chassis leg.  Take the car back up with the jack, fit the LH rubber mounting, wind the crane down till the RH arm is sitting over the mounting and taking the weight of the engine, shift the crane out of the way and pop the car back on the axle stands. Dropped the slam panel on out of the way.  Got the RH driveshaft in and secure, main long gear rod from the base of the stick in (its different on the RS engine to clear the cat+downpipe) fitted the gear rods, starter motor in place, PAS pump and alternator bolted on, for some reason the AUX belt sems too short, but I haven't tried the one from the black car, might be that the RFS crank pulley is larger, forgot to check this. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Someone on the CXOC asked what the spec was, might as well paste it here too.RFS engine, Newmans PH2 cams, Piston valve cutouts deepened by 1mm, standard MLS HG, minimal skim when original HG failed, should be circa 180 maybe Standard exhaust, using RFS downpipe from gti6/ phase1 xsara vts. Running full RFS cooling system other than ZX TD cooling fan. RFS wiring loom+ecu from 306 gti6 mated to original ZX engine loom multiplug RFS main gear rod from gearstick, Pugracing gear linkages. Xsara VTS gearbox, purely because the original was tired, Xsara VTS large Dia hollow shafts, as per gearbox! 283mm front brakes, o.e pads, standard rears, o.e pads, pugracing braided brake lines, short rear brake hose delete (plumbed up fully solid along trailing arm, as per later cars, 306/xsara) AST Sportline 1 front coilovers, 185 LB/in springs, 23mm Rear Torsion bars, Koni Yellow dampers, std ARB's.
