When it comes to coilovers for your car, do you need to spend up or can you buy the cheapest?

In this new series, we'll get both, then get an expert to decide. Along the way, one car will modified with loads of cash, and the other one will be modified with parts found from dumpster diving, recyclers, second hand parts or the cheapest parts we can find.

    You can still lower torsion bar suspension by adjusting it. Back in the day people did that quite often as it was basically free way to lower Peugeot's
  • I burst out laughing at 13:47. As a person that frequently flips off inanimate objects, I totally get the feeling that Marty was having there.
  • If you're trying to mod a 206 cheap, just get some torsion bars and anti-roll bars from a GTi 180. If you don't want to mess with the axle rebuild, just swap the whole rear axle. It's literally 4 bolts plus bleeding your brakes.
  • Dont know if anybody already commented: the front struts in a peugeot can be removed by using a spring compressor to compress the spring and therefore reduce the length of the strut- then there is enough room to remove it- no other disassembly needed. Like withh most mechanical stuff You need to know what youre working with
  • As a guy from the UK who's worked on a few different cars that have lived with our weather, including Peugeots, it's great to see you finally have an experience working on one that matches my own: 10 times longer than expected thanks to rusted and stuck fasteners, broken parts, stripped torx bolts etc.
  • A UK based company called Satchchell Engineering has actually made a rocker suspension conversion kit for 106/205’s 👌👌

    To be absolutely fair, that Swift was treated well, with everything zipping off in minutes, whereas the Peugeot has been abused hard and from the looks of it never had a wrench turned on it until you got to it. I'm pretty sure if the Swift was in the same state, you'd both be pulling your hair out just as much.
  • You're not wrong about how hard working on Peugeots is when you're new to it. After 10 years of fixing my Peugeots I bought an EJ25 Liberty and had to change the spark plugs as the first job, and for a notoriously difficult job it was the easiest thing I'd ever done.
  • Haha! When they chopped the ARB linkage I was laughting waiting for the lower ball joint. The single most annoying thing on a 206 is to disconnect the lower ball joint if you don't know what are you doing. The correct way to remove shock is to install a factory tool (or DIY similar), that connects the lower and upper collars and keeps the spring compressed and short. Than lose the pinch bolt grabbing the bottom of the shock. Insert an allen key into the slot and turn it from the flats to the points spreading the hub. The shock slides right out. You don't have to undo the lower ball joint at all. Half an hour, but not for the first time...
  • I'm amused at how difficult it was for you to work on the 206. here in Southamerica the 206 is so common, i took mine to my mechanic and changed arms, controls, front springs and shocks, and also adjusted the rear torsion bar to lower the car, all in 2 hours time.

    I loved seeing Marty throw the factory strut on the ground and immediately giving it the middle finger. 😂 I have done the exact same thing on several occasions. 🤣🤘
  • 13:46 pro tip: leave the top mount bolted into the car, remove/slacken the stud that clamps the hub to the strut, then just hit it with a hammer until it falls off. Learned the hard way a few different times
  • I like how you said the stuff on the Peugeot was rusted so you can't take it off when it's possibly the cleanest used Peugeot undercarriage I've ever seen in my entire life. I wish I lived somewhere that this is 'rusted' 😭
  • Gotta say, The Nuggetry gets better with each episode! Nothing but the best from the Worlds Best 4x4 Channel in the World ❤
  • It's great to see their attitude to the Peugeot despite how difficult it is to work on. They could have so easily said "This is terrible let's just smash it up" but to actually take it seriously even with cheap parts, it's still going to be a good build. Hats off to you boys.
  • Next episode should have moog standing next to a bin talking about what he got, then marty pops out of said bin holding or saying "hey look at what i found!". Great episode as usual.
  • Rear torsion bar is adjustable and normally 25 minutes a side to remove and refit front shocks on them on a lift Or 45 minutes on a jack on the ground
  • Cash - Trash idea is cool but it feels like a missed opportunity to make a cool project out of the Peugeot!

    Ha, the Submarine joke was the best. Wasn't us, haha you can thank Scotty from marketing for that one.
