Love Me Pug!

Recommended Posts

eddie bullit

I've had my little pug for about three years now and have been refurbing stuff as I go. Its had a respray, all new exterior trim, bumpers, lights etc, refurbed and powder coated the front end, subframe with all new OE bushes, top mounts etc. I refurbed the front as the steering was a little wishy washy..felt like I was hitting ice patches at times and vauge dead ahead steering. This was really annoying as I used to run pugs years ago and always judged a cars steering feel/feedback against the 205. After refurbing the front end it was still the same :P . A mate suggested that it was down to the budget tyres, so I change these. Wow!! what a difference back to what I remember ;) no sniffing out cambers or ice like sensations. On a trip to the lakes last week me and the missus had a blast( well I did anyway ;) ) Need to spend some more pennies on her now she's got her mojo back!

New silicone hoses ( thanks for the link coskev) and a wheel refurb are planned for this summer. Winter will be all new brake lines and beam refurb. The beam is spot on but I not waiting till I spot camber probably to late by then eh.

Anyway thought I share as I'm dead chuffed with the little fella :)

These 20 years + french cars really do test our devotion. Then again newer cars have given me just as much headache. its great you have it sorted for the summer. Mine is coming out this week and although I cant wait im also worrying about what will need fixing.

I'm having a similar love-fest with mine at the moment! Took it to work today and had a cracking drive back home this evening along some of Sussex's finest twisties. It's going there again on Wednesday and then will be picking my 3 year old daughter up from child care. Can't wait to see if she tells me;

 

1. You're driving too fast daddy (usually when stopped at a junction)!

 

2. I don't like it! It's noisy!

 

3. Where's the cup holders (a mild obsession with her at the moment)?
