#1: Rally car rebuild Author: Pug206PT, Location: PortugalPosted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 5:53 pm ---- Hello guys
this is my project! Just to say that i'm not a mechanic and i'm learning how to do everything
I decided to entirely rebuild my rally car after an blown up engine!
The first thing to do was to strip the car... as you can see the car was very beaten up!

Then just copy the [IMG] link and paste it in a post here.
Hope this helps.

I have a Peugeot Sport ECU, Peugeot Sport solid engine mounts and 4-1 stainless steel manifold.
The worse part is now WIRING!

#11: Re: Rally car rebuild Author: pugcruiser, Location: bournemouthPosted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 9:36 am ---- Gonna keep watch to see how you do good luck mate
#12: Re: Rally car rebuild Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 1:04 pm ---- You could save some weight by getting rid of that EGR valve and the wiring to it...replace it with a plate from a GTi 180. Or will the ECU not like it?

Hello Edward and thank's for the advice but i'm not sure if the ECU will work fine without it but I will try for sure!
Tomorrow arrives all final parts and I will try to start it. Just hopping i didn't mess up with the wiring!
The new steering rack from Peugeot Sport is already in place!
Tomorrow i will assemble the suspension, hubs and drive shafts.

#16: Re: Rally car rebuild Author: Pug206PT, Location: PortugalPosted: Wed Dec 19, 2012 8:35 am ---- I already finished the wiring and tryed to start the car. Luckly it started firts time.

What is ratio of that rack lock to lock and how much cost of that.

#19: Re: Rally car rebuild Author: Pug206PT, Location: PortugalPosted: Fri Dec 28, 2012 4:17 pm ---- The car is finished and i'm really happy with the result, made 178.6 bhp on the dyno.
I just bought some cheap coilovers!! I think they're not much better than spaxx one's
Ohlins 3 ways just serviced by Ohlins.
I will test the car in the beggining of the year and i hope this suspension will be a lot better than Peugeot Sport!
#20: Re: Rally car rebuild Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2012 6:05 pm ---- Pics!! Or it never happened
#21: Re: Rally car rebuild Author: Pug206PT, Location: PortugalPosted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 8:10 pm ---- I post one as soon as they arrive!
I'm having some problems with the wiring!
I don't have rear lights and don't know why!!! Just brake and indicators.
I also don't have the hazards (the previous owner of the car cut the wires and the button).
Can anyone help me out???
#22: Re: Rally car rebuild Author: Pug206PT, Location: PortugalPosted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 8:03 pm ---- Hello guys
it's been a while but the car is finished!
I already test the car and the car felt really good!
I'm really happy with the finish result cause I did everything by my own and i'm not a mechanic or electrician so...(maybe it was luck!!)
