After the demise of my Diablo track car project, I decided to get a rolling project from Ryan (pug-306) rather than build up from a bare shell. And here it is. Cjwatson27 has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

Would love to see the satchshift when you’ve got it fitted would like one for mine but not convinced it will fit with my manifold. Do love that bonnet  |

I got Mine 2nd hand and it’s the motor sport edition so it gets welded in place, but from what I can make out it s all inside the car so shouldn’t have the issues with the exhaust tunnel getting hot from removing the heat Shields. The downside I don’t have a clue how it fits lol________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

I’ve got a 4 branch manifold would this be a engine out job or could I fit it with the engine in, I’m currently trying to build a spare front subframe up with the vts rack would I be able to fit it with the engine in place but with the subframe off ? Also if I brought the satchshift that they sell now would it work with this manifold does anyone know ?

It’s not a engine out Chris ...I’ve found not much is with advice from lots of great people on here .....a two post type ramp imakes everything so much easier m8 ...Welshpug /Mei seems to do anything off the floor ?...but I’m not sure if he ever got round to fitting his off the floor ????? Lots of Manifolds are really tight for Satchell heater in one...my Maniflow 4/2/1 system is mms Away m8 ...Satchell Gearkit For Heater In is a fiddly one to fit ...a swear a lot pain in the ass job but a great upgrade my friend....did all mine without removing much apart from the very bottom of the plastic heater surround ....hero me ...NOT !!! Manifolds are a (hopefully) it should but no guarantee m8 ..it’s a try it to be 110% ....it looks better shape than my crazy Maniflow |

It’s either engine out or subframe out. I’ll be pulling my engine out when I fit mine although with only the bear minimum in the engine bay it’s not a big job at all but if you’ve got a rack to fit then subframe out seems the obvious choice |

Blandy are you taking the engine out for a manifold or to fit the satchshift ? ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

Manifold although it’s a very long 4-2-1 that takes place of decat also , I will be fitting my other engine at same time when I do though when i finish it that is actually come to think of it isn’t it your old engine I have lol Once I’ve done that I’ll look towards a satchshift as miss the one from my 205 as was without doubt one if the best bits of the car, but seeing all the horror stories of them hitting manifolds pit me off a little although everything can be adapted to fit I guess. |

I tried a Satchshift and a Maniflow (I think) 4-2-1 and it didn't fit, Satchshift fouled the manifold so I switched back to a standard manifold________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Cheers dan not sure what manifold Mine is looks quite compact compared to others I’ve seen. If there’s a issue I’ll stick with the satchshift ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

From what I remember mine was a bit longer than yours. It wasn't even a close cut thing, the Satchshift wouldn't get close to 5th or 6th!________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |
