Aah ok, just wondered what you plan to do given the obvious scrape on that side. Bolt-on stuff obviously, but wasn't sure if you'd planned to do anything.________________________________________ 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) |

Beam stripdown day, I knew this needed doing at some point and already had bearings in stock, picked a pair of shafts up from Neat AutosQuite nicely finished, no branding at all on them.  felt pretty light which I don't remember them being so previously, maybe all the ones I've had before have been the smaller bore ones? I know the Febi spec is large bore, and these came out at a similar price but my local motorfactor never got back to me after I asked them to order a pair, so sod them, they might even be on the shelf for all I know   Take one beam, weighs a fair bit as is there! Fat torsion bars too, not the original 21's   Got to use part of my recent tool kit purchase.  Still don't know what half of these are meant to be used for!  But this one was ruddy obvious Set it so I didn't have to faff remembering to measure when I re-assemble.  Pulled the dampers and torsion bars brake calipers etc off, then pulled the trailing arms out.  Left this pile of dust from one side!  So yeah, it was dead but not seized! ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

if its the same kit i seen few years back then some of the attachments are for removing/fitting theroller bearings. I remember when i worked for a peugeot dealer back when i was 17, there was one of these kits in the 'special tools' room but never got used, wish i'd swiped it lol |

I like these cars, I remember my dad used to go through a fair few of these as underwrites from a local dealer when he was busy into the sales, the other car that sticks in my mind was the Renault 19 16 valves and chaMade 16 valves________________________________________  "winners come and go but legends never die..." autorite-sport.co.uk |

Has been some time since I last touched this!Progress finally, got the trailing arm shafts swapped at Area52 back at the end of January.  Built the beam up, can't remember now what I set the damper bolt distance to, other than it the same both sides :wacko: but then browsing my pictures I see I had the great idea to take a pic ! yep, 300mm, but its 23mm bars so no its not a 50mm drop   Front beam mounts are o.e peugeot, rear ones have done little mileage as they were replaced by the previous owner. Dropped the fuel tank off fitted the front to rear brake lines, made up two from the compensators to the beam flexi's and bled up the brakes with an Eezibleed. Sorted the two snapped seatbelt bolts by removing the captive nuts and using harness nut plates as they're the same thread. As soon as a little welding is sorted on the outer sills at the rear the fuel tank can go back on then tidy the bodywork, fit the inlet an save up for an MOT. Dropped a donor inlet and my Jenveys with Sandy Brown too... ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Yes. VERY rare with leather, possibly has aircon too?Not touched it again for a few weeks, got a bit disheartened by the rust but it should be in the garage soon. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Im not 100% sure if it has aircon, very nice motor though! I to have spotted rust coloured spots having stripped my interior fully in the rear sill area. Where are you getting the welding work done as i fear im going to have the same issue and need to address it!________________________________________ owain wrote: A GTI-6 with a good dashboard and the seats down can outsprint an E46 M3 in July. |
