pug 106 4x4 cosworth

The bodykit doesn't really do a whole lot for me, but major respect for the mechanical mods :)
 
the bodykit will be 100% functional though. It most likely needs the extra width just to fit the diff and axels.

That 106 is hot! :cool:
 
nice work, but the weight of the engine in that car probably effects the handling somewhat, not to mention that i really woundnt want to have an accident in a 106, especially with the speeds that this car will be capable of.

Yep, it probably does need it. I just don't understand why they couldn't at least try and make it pretty as well as functional :)

I wouldn't expect the engine to be that heavy - certainly not appreciably heavier than the 16v in the GTi. It's not as if there's a mahoosive iron cast V8 up the front to screw up the handling.

Cossie engines have got an iron block though, whereas the Peugeot 16v is probably an ally block (not sure though).
Also you might find the gearbox would be heavier, plus you've got a propshaft and rear diff as well. :)
 
as a piece of work i LOVE the thing.
i've driven the Dimma 205 cosworth 4x4 demonstrator and that was a fiery little thing to play with.
that kit on that 106 is pretty bad IMHO though.
 
I wouldnt mind getting a Cossie 4x4 engine in a Corrado shell, bit different than fitting a 1.8T with quattro :D

it may have an alloy block.
plus the extra transmission gear you mention would centralise the weight distribution making the car more stable not less.

I don't think the pug 16v is an alloy block iirc. The thing is though, the engine is now mounted front to back. The rear end of the engine itself is now well back towards the bulkhead, the gearbox is now in the transmission tunnel of the car (instead of hanging off the front of the engine), and the big rear diff is right at the back of the car. Everything is further towards the middle of the car.

Sure, it might weigh 1-200kg more than a 106 gti, but it's got a few hundred horsepower now. And if anything, the weight distribution front/back will be better due to the RWD installation.

Plus, dimma kitted 106s look the dogs :cool:

I've never heard of a Cossie lump with an alloy block myself, but I wouldn't say there's never been one made. :)

I agree, I was just stating in reply to the other poster that it would probably be fair bit heavier. I didn't really think about the handling side! :D

alloy blocks are available as this is the sort of component the motorsport community need.

EDIT god knows how much they are though. :eek:

you need to speak to DJM MOTORSPORT . they can fit a cossie engine + 4wd running gear to virtually any car :D :cool:

Millington do an 2.2/2.3 alloy block for the yb but i think it was intended for NA yb engines. It seemed work ok as part of a reyland 600+ bhp engine
