[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

Looks like an animal.

 

I believe you met my mate a little while ago in Arborfield, he's got a Rallye with a MI16 engine in.

Must admit 14" wheels suit the Rallye better than his 15" wheels.

[rallyeash 155]

yeah, he did some work experiance at my work. im based from arborfield but out on the road in hampshire normally

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Out of interest how does it compare with all the other cars on track? I would guess you are one of the faster ones out there? (not that it's a race!)

[rallyeash 155]

well nothing came past at Llandow the other week. the only thing that overtook was an track prep'd m3 which was only due to him overtaking whilst we were in traffic through a bend which isnt allowed, once we were through the traffic we caught him back up and with another lap would of gone past him again...

RS day at castle combe yesterday

 

[rallyeash 155]

had an ace battle with this spec C impreza import, 350bhp proper suspension setup, massive brakes, Ao48's etc. was chaing me for about 5 laps, let him past then chased him for another 5 laps or so, he stuck his thumb out the window after the flag came out and had a chat with him in the paddock afterwards

[Sandy 191]

Glad it's going well

[Henry 1.9GTi 36]

couldnt, help laugh at the scooby understeer. Look where his front wheel is pointing!

 

205 looks ace though

[rallyeash 155]

thanks both.

 

well pleased with the engine sandy, still a couple of seconds off the front running saloons though... handling tweeks are going the right direction though

[swordfish210 20]

Did you get the rear arb sorted? By the time i got out of work you guys seemed to be all gone.

Goodo. Non-competitive huh?!!

[rallyeash 155]

somthing like that

 

mark, yeah got the arb sorted, the difference was night and day!

[rallyeash 155]

im going to be changing the fuel system abit, the fuel lines aren't PTFE lined so it smells of fuel abit which gives you a headache when driving it all day, and as ive got a 4 hour round trip to pugfest i didnt really fancy that so just ordered...

 

4x -6 fittings these are proper compression fittings to go on steel pipe, abit of luck we keep 2M lengths of 8mm steel pipe at work which should be just the trick. will be down 4 metres by tomorrow evening...

 

 

30 micron fuel filter,

 

4x -6 straight fittings to go from the compression fittings to braided flexi on the engine side and tank side

 

2x -6 bulkhead fittings to make a good job of going through the floor

 

 

and finally a proper cradle to mount the Bosch 044 fuel pump, its to noisey to be inside the car so its going under the boot floor somwhere

 

 

should have it all by the weekend as ive got access to a pit and ramp which i plan to make the most of

[rallyeash 155]

couple of pics from pugfest...

 

[rallyeash 155]

practical performance magazine photoshoot tomorrow....

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

I'll be looking out to buy that issue then

[allye 530 3 Cars]

How in any way is your car practical!!! Haha

[rallyeash 155]

cars in next months practical performance car mag, in the "next issue" section of this months mag

 

although the small write up says home brewed iconic pug 205 rallye with 306 gti6 engine and box.... don't know where that extra gear has come....

 

 

trackday at castle combe this saturday also, new tyres, oil +filter changed, ht leads replaced which cleared up the tiny misfire so think im all set

[rallyeash 155]

pushing hard at the trackday on saturday.....

 

 

[edbar 6]

Didnt tell me you were going! Wouldve watched!

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

Cool pic Ash. Are you planning to do any other tracks than Combe, id like to see it in action sometime

[rallyeash 155]

yeah want to try and get away from combe abit next year, only done combe (alot) and Llandow this year.

 

would like to go to spa, brands, cadwell (again) and a few others. thats if im not out living in Canada

[rallyeash 155]

right then, couple of changes with the car coming up.

 

14" S2 rallye steels have come off the car.

266mm Hi spec 4 pots sold

 

15" C5 alloy steel's bought

new set of 195 50 R15 R888's purchased

gti6 calipers from a member purchased

 

brembo discs, braided lines and decent pads will be on order this evening once i have choosen make of pad

 

C5 wheels have been done gloss black, tyres fitted and balanced and fitted onto the car.

 

main reason for the above is to gain 40mm overall contact with with the ground, lower profile tyres (less flex) lighter rims and i'll see how the car performs on gti6 calipers but i don't think it will be much worse than my old brakes with going up a disc size and some better brake pads. if im not happy i'll invest in some 283mm 4 pots but i dont really want to run spacers if im honest.

 

gti6 calipers stripped, refurbed and repainted red..

 

[welshpug 1,661]

errrr.

 

are you sure they are gti6 calipers?...

[rallyeash 155]

Bosch ones, pretty sure they are? why do you think not?
