finally got chance to have a good check over the engine etc yesterday and have took the car for a bit of a drive by myself, i must say it does seem a very strong torquey engine even from very low down in the rev range it has alot of pull.
now dont worry im never going to preach that the car is a tarmac shredder as im used to 230+bhp retro turbocharged motors eg r5gtt/rs turbo etc but im genuinely quite shocked at how well the little 206 drives/holds the road and a great engine to match.
the k&n panel filter will arrive today so i shall pop that on tonight when the ball and chain gets back from work, again i know these dont add any real power but i do know they just seem to make the response that bit better and less asthmatic. The sportex oval back box should arrive tomorrow so im going to be fitting that friday whilst we are servicing the motor ready for our trip upto the lake district.
got a pic of the car down my drive yesterday

Progress going well come across a few things that needed doing.
Centre section of exhaust was completely shot so got a new one from ces in stoke.
Also iv fount out why the brakes have no bite probably has summat to do with both fronts being well past there best so relplacing them.
Throttle bodie was filthy and caked up so thats been cleaned and its now gleaming.
Oil and filter change is done, it seems fuel filter must be in tank so no need for that.
Euro car parts gave me the wrong drive belt so going do that next wkend along with the cam belt as we have gotta set out for the lakes just after dinner.

Coming along really well Andy! Got a Sportex exhaust myself and really like the thing, sounds great and has nice low rumble when your just city driving.
Should come to Donnington mate you're only up the road!? Plus what else you going to do on a Sunday, sit in your arm chair watching songs of praise
