Remembered why I stopped going to car shows now, that used to do my head in. Just sitting there revving the crap out of it.It looks good but maybe it's just me but it doesn't sound right. ________________________________________ When I've got time I forget what I wanted to do, and when I remember what I wanted to do, I have no time! |

sounds like an adjustable rev limit?! certainly looks a good inlet setup, and youll never get a true sound by just revving with no load.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

From what I have seen of maxis it is either a very accurate replica engine, or a genuine inlet set up. The brace looks genuine too. Probably the noise is from the twin pipe set up.certainly sounds like it is revving above 7k.as you would expect once a young French kid gets his hands on it they make it look shit. ________________________________________ puglessPhase 1 GTI 6 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza GB270 2007-2008 rare spiderman comics same day international courier |

Could well be a genuine inlet set-up, but I very much doubt a genuine Maxi engine. They were very very modified, well north of £25k's worth of modified... ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

possibly a replica, but that big gearstick in the cab looks like a sequential to me and that is the biggest chunk of cash on a maxi. All looks a bit real to me under the bonnet so maybe the guy bought a trashed maxi and fixed it up french stylee. still 30k plus worth ________________________________________ puglessPhase 1 GTI 6 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza GB270 2007-2008 rare spiderman comics same day international courier |

'Big stick' is a hydraulic handbrake. They have them easily in view so you're not fumbling trying to find it when required. Proper Maxi's had a 7 speed sequential. The engine doesn't sound anthing like a maxi, not anywhere near lumpy enough at lower revs. The cage is a bolt in job. Looks tidy but its not a 'real' maxi________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

Thats not a maxi there is other stuff under then bonnet on a maxi and that has not got it i'm sure the Maxi engine is dry sumped as well ? oh and a real maxi engine revs to 10k and sounds totally different as well - not a bad effort mind |

Sounds like a failry decent spec as it is, going off his other videos idle seems to be about 1500rpm which is usually a sign of a fairly lumpy cam, unless his bodies aren't balanced properly  ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

You can see from the panels/paint/seats/belts/ride height, etc, that it's not a proper maxi.Probably just a wide arch kit tarted up with a maxi engine intake. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Na the MI engine has a nasty way of spitting the oil out of just about every possible breather and the catch tank - they used to run them dry sumped so as to turn the oil into a controlled closed circuit - mine didn't have this so used to p*ss out everywhere - guess what happens if you forget to keep an eye on it  |

most maxi's were based on the RFY head, only the very last of them used the RFS head casting.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
