When the Army starts paying me the correct amount then progress you will see  . In effect, its the car that Peugeot should of made when they made the Rallye.________________________________________ owain wrote: A GTI-6 with a good dashboard and the seats down can outsprint an E46 M3 in July. |

I wouldn't say its a cheap upgrade. not to do it properly. granted you can pick up the cams for not too much, but without a remap you're not going to get much benefit, and I think the remap was about £400 if you're hoping cams alone will make the car a rocket ship then you'll be disappointed, but I stand by it as a good mod, and the performance gain still puts a smile on my face some 30k on. I wouldn't want to go milder than PT81 though. PT80's are available but I don't think the performance would justify the cost. finally, its always worth being mindful that there isn't a great deal of clearance between value and piston in these engines, so any move towards a higher lifting cam is going to narrow that tolerance, and like with most things, there are horror stories out there. ________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

A brief update...I finally got around to changing the exhaust. Last week i took receipt of one of Miles' (Pug Racing) stainless steel systems.   The main objective being to bring the noise level down, without any detriment to performance over the Powerflow system that was on there previously. With the interior/carpet no longer present in the back of the car, exhaust and road noise are of course exacerbated, which left me painfully aware that the Powerflow was just too boomy for motorway drudgery. The bigger silencers of Miles' system certainly do help to keep that resonance at bay, and I'm left with a smooter, crisper exhaust note. Roll on Brands in the coming months! Although a little too loud for my modest/approaching my 30's/stripped out taste, there is nothing wrong with my Powerflow system, so when I get a chance to take a few pictures, I'll pop it up for sale if anyone is in the market for a cat-back stainless system. ________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

Just finished reading your lengthy first post. Very well written; a rarity. I can appreciate the modifications you've chosen, it seems you've struck the right balance between a daily and a track-day toy. Good effort. |

Matt, the exhaust hangs and fits well. Although i did notice today that there is a metal on metal contant under heavy left hand cornering, but havent got underneath to investigate further yet. Thats what weekends are for! I'm not 100% sure an outwardly rolled tip is my cup of tea, but its growing on me....albeit slowly.And Tom, thanks for the compliment. Praise indeed from a man daring enough to throw down a Semicolon...! ________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

If I ever owned another then this would be on the list ^ This makes me unhappy But i shall slowly work towards it and eventually ill get there!That exhaust system looks decent, i really didnt want to go stainless for the mentioned reasons of boominess etc with no back seats or carpet. Seems like a good buy! ________________________________________ owain wrote: A GTI-6 with a good dashboard and the seats down can outsprint an E46 M3 in July. |

Dont get me wrong though - no one would acuse the car of being quiet, even now. Mild would definately be the quieter option, but with the prices these kind've cars fetch these days, I'm mindful that i will prob never bother selling it, so made yet another compromise in the interest of longevity!________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

Took a decible reading today, to make sure I'm all 'legal' for trackdays with my new Pug Racing stainless exhaust.Measured at 0.5m from the tail pipe, at a 45° angle, and at 2/3 max revs it recorded just 91db, so I'm well under the 105 day time and 101 evening session ceiling for MSV trackdays. ________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

A brilliantly written project, a lunch time well spent! I actually signed up (And paid for the membership haha) just to tell you this! I don’t own a Rallye yet but I’m in the process of purchasing one. Do you have any videos of the new exhaust? I only ask as I’m fast approaching 30 and loud raspy exhausts make me cry! |

Praise indeed!I don't have any vids at present I'm afraid, but I'll see what I can do. Miles (of Pug Racing, who is a member on here) also does a mild steel system which would be quieter still if that tickles your fancy. ________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

I'll start this update some questions..Q. Is there anything wrong with the current induction setup on the Rallye? A. No Q. So why bugger about with it? A. ...shut up. Basically, I've long been seduced by 6 letters stretched around a carbon barrel - BMC CDA. I'm prepared to accept it won't instantly transform the car into furious beast with an unquenchable oxygen thirst, but you can't ignore the physics surrounding cold dense air and combustion. So when said filter popped up in the 'For Sale' section, I thought what the hell. I amassed a small collection of silicon and ally tubes, jubilee clips and cable ties and went to work.  First things first, get the car up, wheels off and bumper removed.  I write that quite casually, nonchalantly even. But truth be told it took me nearly an hour and a half to achieve this simple task, at which point I stopped for lunch. After lunch I got the old air box and various lengths of plastic ducting off.  This took just a few minutes, and left me feeling that I was in fact some kind of awesome race mechanic, and could probably strip the whole engine down in a couple of f*ckin' hours (you get to talk like that if you're a mechanic) if I wanted to. Which I didn't, thankfully. One of my many questions in the build up to this job had highlighted that removing the standard throttle body pipework robs the ICV of filtered air. So also took receipt of this little fella by way of replacement  Praise Allah for tapered mini-filters, As it just fitted under this throttle cable arm. (I'll be mostly making up names for areas of the car for which I don't know the official name)  Next up was the air filter itself, elbow and 'connecty pieces'. Took a bit of lining/eying up to get the lengths all working towards a common goal, but eventually got it fitting like a tight, uncomfortable glove.  Now to attach the flexible hose to the bottom of the filter and get busy with the cable ties.  Then the finer adjustment to get the trumpet to fog light hole alignment just so.  And we're done. Bumper back on and let the big dog eat!    First Impressions? Well it hasn't made a massive difference, but when 'on cam' it has a slightly more purposeful urge, and lovely induction bark/growl which I must admit is addictive and causing me to be a little more flamboyant with the right foot than strictly necessary. Whilst I'm in the business of thread updating, heres a a couple of pics showing 'before and after' the bonnet badge was brought inline with the largely monochrome look of the car.   ________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

Induction kit looks great. Got to love a bit of carbon fibre, it’s a shame it’s hidden away! Did you just paint the front badge? |

The cam belt snapped at 25k bending 6 valves but all where replaced and it has done 27k miles since. Not sure if I should be worried? The badge looks really good, works well with the black wheels. |

i found that the cold air feed pipes tend to compress slightly when booting it.........so i wrapped mine in duct and foil tape to stop this and it has helped. i'm thick of use metal and silcon pipes all the way to the fog to see if it makes a difference________________________________________ Ph2 Black GTI 6!EX black 6 owner But now a Black caged rallye owner Hunting for Go faster bits!
