It stopped working in Firefox but works perfectly in Safari on my MacBook Pro.

20mm J=15707 mm^4 22mm J= 22998 mm^4 Thus 46% stiffer. I run a turreted rear end, with 500lb springs in my race car. That's equivalent of 25mm torsion bars.

Carburettors on XU10 and EW10

Just run the stock ecu and run a vacuum manifold to collect the vacuum from each runner. It still needs that to determine the load. any cheap aftermarket ecu will do. Just run ign only. -

Carburettors on XU10 and EW10
rny replied to rny's topic in XU 16v Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
Hi, I understand! But is there any soulution? It is for stock car racing. -
Thanks guys, Turn in is indeed the problem. It is terrible in small tight corners. Feels like walking speed going through hairpin turns 180 degrees. I run a 25 mm ARB which helped slightly. Would a little toe out in the rear do any difference? Thanks again. Old TBs Can be a nightmare to remove. how is the ride compared to before ? Is the rear much stiffer? I want to tighten up my rear but do not know if 22 mm is a big increase over the std 309 bars? Any racers who run 22 mm or more on their race cars?

I see , i use it from time to time for other makes/models , no idea what happened recently . Anyhow this looks like good alternative : https://www.allparts.ae/cats/#/catalogs

Carbs are such a backward step. TB’s are essentially all the same hardware and offer more. -
23mm is the starting point for tarmac racing. Two friends run 23mm + coil over shocks, for an effective wheel rate of approx. 500lbs. Stiffness is proportional to the 4th power, not area. ie J=d^4 x pi()/32 Thus there is a significant difference between 22 and 23. 23mm is not nice in the wet, in a 205. Keep in mind that 309 bars are longer, thus softer, for the same diameter.

Amazing! Bring back build threads! Really appreciate the time taken to tell the story on this car, makes for a great read. Love the wheels too!

Bring back build threads! Great read Tom. The compomotives look great, as do the pin stripes, you don't see them often

It hasn't worked for over a week here in Yorkshire.

Ohh crap !! It is Hope it's just temporary glitch . Anyhow for 205/309/405 there's still : https://www.miamistu.co.uk/pug/ D

That's a cracking bit of work you have done in such a short time , about 2 years for most of us lol. Is the wing rotten behind the bumper only ? as I think it was retro race and rally were looking into pressing just this piece as a weld in repair as genuine wings are almost impossible to find now ...Peugeot museum get the finger out ! Good to see this one saved as it could so easily been broken for spares , the door rot is wierd but I guess the drain was blocked and it sat full of water and rusted its way out in the end or a lot of water was getting in past the glass outer seal . What did you set the rear axle height to ,I set mine to 312mm I think it was but with a full tank of fuel and 1 rear passenger its on its a*se , it actually has contacted the front of the arch a little when I hit a big pothole mid roundabout and needs raising up a bit , looks fine with nobody in though .

The last few times I tried to use catcarinfo nothing, except an error message. Does anyone know, have they "shut up shop"?

Clutch Kits (Specifically Release Bearing Differences)...
Ozymandis replied to bacardincoke's topic in Gearbox & Drivetrain
Its just a plain 3mm circular section O-ring, not that. part No 4 in this 405 diagram https://www.miamistu.co.uk/pug/GB/405N/2/22D03A.HTM -
Cross Your fingers and give it a go. Check this out. https://eastment.net/BE3 Gearbox Strip.htm

That’s what I’m worried about, that it’s not as simple as the cable. Never drove it when I bought it as it was on a sorn. Now it’s just had its first MOT in 8 years and I still can’t use it.
-
Wind all the slack out of the cable and if it still does it then, its not cable adjustment.
-
Does anyone know what the pedal travel should be on a 205 Cti 89 1.6 fitted with the be3 gearbox please? I can’t find it in the Haynes manual. I’m getting crunching between 2nd and 3rd and then 3rd and 4th. No crunching up or down 1st to 2nd and back. Was going to try the cable before looking to repair synchros. Thanks

Carburettors on XU10 and EW10
rny posted a topic in XU 16v Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
Hi, How do you do with the ignition when you put carburettors on XU10 and EW10 engines? Is there any conversion kits avalible? Regards, Robert -
Looking good mate, following with interest as ill be doing the same with a 1900 engine soon but an unknown one so hopefully no surprises
-
22mm will be usefully stiffer but probably not as solid as you are imagining. I run 23mm 309 width bars on my 205 turbo. Yes stiff but the turn in is excellent and perfectly useable on the road. Good dampers that are up to the job of the torsion bars is key to them working properly, I ran 306 tarmac spec Bilstein rears.

So that is up to date, I'm quite pleased with the progress, I dragged it out of the lockup on the 31st of May, the engine is sat ready to go back in last night on the 8th of July, so quite a bit achieved in 5 and a half weeks. Hoping to have the engine back in and up and running over the next few days, there will be some other odds and ends to tidy up no doubt, and then it will be time to get it MOT'd.
