you will need 2x 10mm 1.25 x 20 mm bolts for fixing the Bush to chassis

What do they feel like cully as my cars dead after fitting them, good upgrade?

yes it was a good upgrade for me, as the old p bush's were saggy!
the car now has stopped wondering and goes where you point it, which is a bonus.
i still get lift of oversteer but its a little more prodictable, fingers crossed the solid rear mounts will limit that too once fitted

OK thanks, I'm going to have a look at my current P bushes at the weekend to see how urgently I need them. There's a dodgy knocking sound coming from that area and I'm suspecting them. Depends when you'll be braking as to whether I can wait..

Thanks Cully, luckily bolts won't be a problem there are plenty at work

Ben the car is not being broken now, just scrapped as I have nowhere to break it
Annoyed as there's lots of good stuff on her
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - Ben - 14-04-2014
Shame it's come to scrapping it. Surely you can keep the most valuable parts you don't have to scrap the lot.. When Jake scrapped his we completely stripped it. Didn't even have a rear beam left the guy had to drag it onto his trailer!
Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - devils_fuel - 14-04-2014
It at zachs at the moment so no stripping there, then it's being brought to cheddar and no breaking can be done in my friends yard due to the council. Complete interior, alloys and the strut brace and a few other things will be removed, I really cannot be bothered with it any more - lost faith

^^^^Pmd you mate
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - cully - 18-04-2014
had my little helper with me today
he was helpfull between chillin with his tunzs
[attachment=15555]
had the opertunity to get the car on a ramp to check over befor the ring trip
good job i did
O/side front wheel bearing had play in it
this is the bearing that was changed for last MOT
not happy it didnt last 5k milesbut was a good excuss to change to my nicely referbed 18mm front hubs
[attachment=15556]
am glad i did this now as when i went to change the N/side the bearing in there was dog rough so in all was a good job
now the car has new 18mm b/J's and new front bearings just need to replace the O/side ABS sensor as it would not come out the old hub, have a spare in the garage so that for tomorrow
now its CIDER time!
Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - devils_fuel - 18-04-2014
Looking good mate, bet you're glad you had a final check
Arrgghhh yeah baby...cider time, homemade I guess

sorry to dissapoint
ive got some thatchers and some woodpecker
Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - devils_fuel - 18-04-2014
Ah mate
I thought you'd have a matured brew to sample
But not bad choice though
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - cully - 19-04-2014
went back out to look at the old hubs i cant believe how noisey the bearing is off the car, but yet couldnt hear it in the car at all
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - cully - 08-05-2014
as most already know ive been to nurburgring in this car
had a truely epic week there
i drove 4 laps of the ring not having study'd the track nor practiced on a games console i managed a very respectable 10:04 lap
ignor the tyre rubbing on the rear arch liners due to the back being to low for the competition tyres
i will post the photos ive found from track photographers here too

Looking good Paul, gti6 looks right at home on a track
Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - devils_fuel - 08-05-2014
Looking good Paul, any idea of top and average speed??
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - cully - 08-05-2014
as for top speed i think i hit 120mph on the long back straight but to be honest i was more interested in hanging on to the track and watching for faster cars behind than watching the speedo
i didnt grab 6th on track but did use the full reves in 5th
Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - devils_fuel - 08-05-2014
FairPlay Paul, bet you loved thrashing it on a fantastic track
Some nice cars on the track, that Lamborghini [HEAVY BLACK HEART]️
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - cully - 08-05-2014
the cars on track were amazing if you had money you could hire them or be taken round in them
you name it it was there!
from Nobles to Mclarens to 306's the whole range
the peugeot family wernt to well represented there though their newer cars must be poor track cars as there were very few newer peugeots anywhere in germany
Re: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - kentiiboii - 08-05-2014
Should of paid to go in a 306, just for the irony
Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - devils_fuel - 08-05-2014
Should have gone around with jammapic's mate

Car's looking really great from the photos...glad you had some taken! I only got snapped by one when I went!
How did the car feel on track? Well-sorted? Considering doing the p-bush replacement you did.
The ring is pretty much the ultimate test of a car's set-up.

honest answer
the car was like driving a plate of jelly on the std road tyres
but
as soon as i put on the yokos, the car was transformed into something else!
it was steddy and stable into and out of the corners the car was a lot more enjoyable to drive at speed into and out of the corners
but please rembember the car has stock dampers on the front (dont know the age) and new B4's on the back with std brakes all round
if i were to go again to the ring the thing that let the car down was the Driver! not having knowlage of the circuit with circuit knowlage and a clear track the car is more than capable of a low sub10 min lap
Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - devils_fuel - 09-05-2014
Cully that's why everyone goes back year after to beat their last time
. You did very well mate and the important thing was you had a hoot and the car survived
RE: Cully's Bianca 6 R150 YVM - cully - 17-05-2014
to all the sceptics saying my welding would be crap and i wouldnt weld them square!

[attachment=16318]

Looking good Paul, may need to protect the boot floor judging by the rust
