    Another French shed! Peugeot 306 XSi Targa rally car!

    I originally wasn't going to post anything about this car until I'd been through it and tidied it up, but it needs a lot more work than expected. 1998 Peugeot 306 XSI, 135bhp, just over 1000kg and set up for Targa rally, nav rally etc... Story behind this one is that I owned this actual car...

    Please help as no garage can find what's wrong.

    I had running issues with my 06 197 recently, struggling to idle, running on 2 cylinders and being hesitant on throttle. I put a new front/upstream lambda in and it's cured it. Bosch part number 0258006046, £42 from Autodoc if you're not in a rush. (Check the plug is correct though as there are...

    Single Round Entry would be the one! You would need a race suit however which will only make you faster at trackdays anyway!

    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    They're cheap days and good for learning a bit more car control, plus they're normally pretty quiet too! Time Attack doesn't need anything like that for the club classes, it's only when you go into the Pro classes that they get very strict on safety, the only things my car needs are a handheld...

    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    So after Blyton, I had a few issues pop up with the Clio. The car would struggle to idle and eventually stall, it would hesitate on throttle too and misfire like a bitch. So, onto the little ramps she goes. After it was mapped, Andy at Engine Dynamics did say my upstream lambda was toast so 2...

    Blyton Park 21st Oct. I'd been itching to get back out on track again, a cheapish Saturday popped up through Trackday Solutions so I chucked some money at the website and proceeded to get the car ready. To be fair the car only needed fluids and a quick checkover. I had to spend a day rebuilding...

    Camshaft phaser position error?

    So after a very wet day at Blyton, I had an engine management light pop up, car had a slight misfire that cleared up pretty much straight away. But the error code remained, so I read the codes last night and got these. The lambda sensor is a known issue, Andy at ED told me the upstream was dead...

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    I have an SW Motorsports half cage in mine, other than the fitting kit arriving 2 days after the cage I've had no issues, went straight in without the need for ratchet straps or anything like that. If I was to do it again however I'd probably go minimum of a bolt in full cage. If you're...

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    I wonder if an adjustable rear ARB would be beneficial? I've seen quite a few videos (mainly mid engined cars admittedly) running an adjustable RARB and running it in "full soft" on twisty circuits with lots of elevation changes. I'd assume something like that is available for the E46 as there...

    eBay in the end from Tegiwa (for a pair anyway). They showed no stock on their website but these were shipped next day. I had to get another pair from another seller as they only had 2 available.

    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    With the weather potentially getting wet and wild as the year draws to a close, I figur d it was time to replace the Eagle F1s I stupidly sold earlier this year. All I ever hear is how good Michelin PS4's are in wet conditions so I've taken a punt on a set. Just need to get them mounted in time...

    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    KTEC are my last option for anything as of late. They happily took my money for a set of brake pads that they didn't have in stock and knew they weren't going to have for around 6 weeks. Didn't bother to tell me about it though!

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    I love how quickly you seem to get these jobs done. It takes me about 4 weeks to change a set of brake pads! Have you got a deadline in mind for the rebuild or is it just a case of getting it done now so you know it's done and you can get the car onto the trailer ready for the next trackday with...
