#1067: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 3:39 am ---- A few more changes to the power steering hoses.
#1068: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 8:53 am ---- I didn't like the old fitting and the hose was a bit messy with original Peugeot pipes joined together with an extension piece. So I bought an alloy PAS fitting from Torques UK and got a hose made up locally with a -6 JIC fitting on it.
The hose goes under the sump now and connects to the original metal pipe.
It's not 100% as I wanted it but it's neater than before. It also does away with the old redundant PAS pressure sensor.

#1070: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 02, 2015 7:00 am ---- Thank you. Car is almost finished now. I think there is a slight leak from the PAS pump still. I might need to buy a seal kit but it's only minor. I think it would fail an MOT for that though. Other than that it needs a set of tyres and it's ready to go.
#1071: Re: Project sleeper Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Apr 02, 2015 12:33 pm ---- New PAS pump set up looks great. If you don't mind me asking, could you give me a rough figure on how much it has cost you to source the parts needed to convert? I will need to do this myself at some point
#1072: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 02, 2015 1:39 pm ---- Roughly...pump is about £50, bracket cost £10, latest hose was £20, screw in fitting for the pump was £10, low pressure hose £5. The wiring cost a few quid as I wanted to use the standard Peugeot fuse box so with the high current connector for the pump it was about £35 for the electrics. PAS fluid is £5.

#1074: Re: Project sleeper Author: tRiCk, Location: MitchamPosted: Mon Apr 13, 2015 5:06 pm ---- Hey Edward, I'm trying to find out what car I can get a solid timing belt tensioner for my ew12, same as ew10 really. Do you have one fitted on your car?
Thanks in advance
#1075: Re: Project sleeper Author: drmo, Location: Ljubljana, SloveniaPosted: Mon Apr 13, 2015 5:20 pm ---- I think that 1.9d tensioner would do the trick. You just need a stud from dw8 engine, to bolt it to, and that is it. 0820.17 is the part number of the stud for the tensioner.
#1076: Re: Project sleeper Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Wed Apr 29, 2015 3:31 pm ---- If you need solid tensioner I suggest 306GTI6 ones with early metal tensioners.
#1077: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat May 23, 2015 2:49 am ---- Spent some more money this month...I can't justify spending on the 206 when I don't get much time to drive it so I bought this. A Trek Domane 4.5 Disc...all carbon fibre, disc brakes, a few bits of Ultegra groupset...it's nice. It would have been far cheaper to get the 206 back on the road that's for sure.
Straight away I changed the monster cassette for one with closer ratios.
#1078: Re: Project sleeper Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Tue May 26, 2015 2:30 pm ---- As always Ed your attention to detail is impressive
#1079: Re: Project sleeper Author: Carlos_WR1, Posted: Wed May 27, 2015 11:24 am ---- Nice to see someone else into cars and road bikes like myself (although technically thats a cyclocross) I have just upgraded my bike to a full carbon. Started on a Dedacciai SC61.10A and rode that for 3 years, just replaced it with a 13 Inuition Alpha, have swapped a few components over with it so im running Sram Apex and have FSA KForce Head Stem, SeatPost and Egonomic HandleBars. Ill have to get some pics up.
Have you used the Trek much? where abouts are you based, whats the cycling like around your way?
#1080: Re: Project sleeper Author: existenz, Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2015 11:19 am ---- Hey Edward, have you driven you car and can give some feedback on your 21mm torsion bars?
I'm running Koni yellow dampers and HR 35mm springs. I use a 24mm rear ARB, but my rear is still rather soft. I would just like to know if its worth the upgrade, as I'm feeling I need that extra stiffness for autocross...
