Sweet! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Dosn't need a baffle it's quiet enough. Just remember the thing about Peugeot V6's is they love to sing. ;)



Great I'll have to watch all four films again now. :think:

The last time the engine was out, there were a few jobs I had to do. One was to build up the clutch and fit all the bellhousing bolts but there was something else niggling at me. I was sure there was something else. Then I spotted the welding on the engine mounts and the steering column that I had forgotten to do so I thought that must have been it. But I still had a tiny teensy niggle that there was something else I needed to do whilst the engine and box were apart.
I found out what it was today which is why I won't be looking for 2nd or 4th gear at Mallory...... :roll: :( :crazy: :? :think: :oops:

I think the main question to ask is, will he be able to steer it? :lol:

(mind you, that's not really a problem for the drag run, and it usually doesn't last much longer than that anyway!!)

Having spent the past few days having my pockets emptied by every Norfolkian I have met, I'm camped on a beach somewhere North of somewhere making a list of things that need to be done to make the Turd ready for Santa Pod. Its a long list and I have two days to get through it. I may be heading home early!

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
