All Rallyes were 8 valves.
S1 came with 1.3 8 valve then later ones had a 1.6 8 valve but are rare.
Then came the S2 with a 1.6 8 valve.
The reason Peugeot didn't try too hard with the 206 GTi was because of competition within their own range. They couldn't have it being faster and better than the £3k more GTi-6. It had to fit in...
I went from MK1 Punto to 206 and the 206 is the better car but then it was a more modern design.
It is similar in dimensions but tighter space wise in the back (it doesn't have that vertical rear...
Late model Saxos look far better than the 106...they just more modern looking. Pidley little wheels on the 106 make it look tiny.
The Puma engine isn't a Duratec, it's a Zetec SE...Duratecs came in 2001 on Mondeos and all have chain drive camshafts which is the biggest noticable difference between them and Zetecs and Duratec...
The Ka is getting replaced next year isn't it?
Rowan Atkinson bought one and he was in EVO magazines long term ownership reports for a few months.
200bhp from 3 litres just shows there's plenty of potential for tuning.
It amazes me the ignorance some people have when it comes to power outputs of engines. They never ever consider how torquey...
Even if that engine was standard that marea has got to be an ultimate sleeper car...
What were those wheels fitted to originally? They look brilliant on any Ford of that era
the scribble down the doors makes it look like a boy racer car...Do HKS make stuff for Vectras?
I belive orders are being taken from September 2007 and delivery will be sometime next year but that depends on whether they can satisfy european demand first.
As an everyday warmish hatch (by todays standards) they do the job well. The standard suspension won't thank you for throwing it round corners though. Surprising amount of bodyroll for the type of...
I was surprised how nice to drive these old bones could be. Steering was nice, gearchange was good and the thing felt quite tight for a 15 year old car...
So dealers can supply pipes ready formed then?
I always thought it would be too much hassle especially as they are very long and relatively flimsy i.e. they can get bent easily.
I like the way even Fiat describe the Stilo as a complete disaster for them.
Wasn't the MK1 Punto dashboard a marvel of simplistic design...so simple with everything easy to find yet good looking too...
S is just base spec...definately not a Sport model.
They were never referred to as a 1,2 because there were 60bhp, 75bhp and 86bhp 1.2's.
Oily blocks and gearboxes comes off cheaply with turps and a paintbrush. You just need to rinse it off with a hosepipe though so best used on lower areas away from electrics.
If you were going along a road and he enters the carraigeway and causes another car to collide with him then it's his fault.
His comments about you driving into him even if he really thinks it's...
They're good little cars but they are best used for what they were designed to be used for. i.e pottering around urban roads. They will do motorways etc but that's not their natural habitat. Despite...
Or remove your passenger seat and place the engine there...
I had a TLGP years ago in my Sporting against one of those Volvos and I was half way through third gear before the Volvo even started to show a performance advantage.
Odd because cams usually snap when the head gasket has gone and warped the head. Then it's all put back together with the cam not running straight...
