- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 เม.ย. 2023
- It's cheap, and nasty and will thrash Moog's new car. He saved huge money on his cheap track car, so I decided to try and find the best competitor I could but spend half as much money to go just as fast!

Hi

Sébastien loeb ring a Belll?😏
FINALLY A FRENCH CAR. Sadly it's not an C4 VTS
How big is Cheryl's box?
I never ever thought in years of watching this show id see them two wearing tn’s and dancing to frenchcore/hardstyle😂😂😂😂😂
frenchcore family 😌🤘
Exactly what I wanted to say!
Is it not a muzz?
It was like a car crash. I wanted to skip it but I just couldn't lmao.
So fucking good 😂👌
That dance sequence was the most dynamic thing to have ever occurred within the vicinity of that car.
It was so colourful and exquisite, they should have used it as its revealing back in the day. That would have got buyers attention.
Good song too
marty goes hard haha
It was pretty epic.
I stepped away from my computer with the video playing seconds before that segment and have never been more confused by the sounds in the next room
Okay, that frenchcore section was honestly the best thing I've seen in automotive TH-cam history, you guys never fail to make me laugh fair play 😂
yeah it did have the french cliché, the nike TN shoes, the dealer bags basicly how 80% of french are :) but the handbag even older people have them but overal it did feel like a typical french car meet up
frenchcore is french but for some reason i know nobody who listen to it and and raves they listen to frenktek type music. wish they played frenchcore doh i love hardcore hardstyle (am dutch)
i wondered why they thought french was russian tbh. Seemed much more balkan than french.
In the year 2000 (yes I'm not a Millienmum), I ran a Peugeot dealership in Sydney and we couldn't giveaway the base 206 whilst the GTI model had huge waiting lists. The 206 was a great handling car and I'm sure the MCM team will build a great project car. FunFact, after leaving a Peugeot dealership i joined Suzuki Australia as their GM and I launched the Suzuki Swift Sport in Australia in 2006. The media launch was at Canberra and I fondly remember driving the car around the old Police driver Training Centre. I owned an earlier Swift GTI that i used in club motorsport for many years. Now after a Swift Sport so my son and I can compete against each other.
So youre to blame why I saw so many of those snotball coloured hatches smashing my base model German hatches at the roundabouts exits!?
Very cool story bro!
This might be your greatest ever mid episode dance break. I definitely need to see more of Marty going full hakken
Speechless. A majestic display of laddery.
A true masterpiece!
that's exactly what it feels to be european XD
HAKKUH
I lost my shit when they started hakken 😂
We absolutely need a “Disrespected baguette” episode! ✌️
Baguette is also the French word for chopsticks 🥢 so if you're eating your mad tofu, you are eating your mad tofu with baguettes.
That should be the shirt!
What is a Frenchman favorite Italian food? ..... baguetti
*What is this baguetttry??* 👀
disrespected massive nose?
An instant MCM classic. A crappy but potentially interesting car, some useful information, a hilarious music video, and some funny stories at the end. I generally enjoy everything you guys do, and if someone came out of the blue and asked me which videos I liked the best I'd probably tell them the bigger builds but to be honest the "nugget" videos may really be my favorites - I think it boils down to entertainment value. I think I'm most impressed with the result of the bigger builds but the nuggets are way more entertaining content.
Its all about the nuggets. The USP of these guys is their humility, ability to entertain and music. Love it!
Should have definitely taken the 206 GTi. Owned a few pug's in the past and my stripped out 206 GTi was a great little car. 138Bhp 2.0 engine pulled well once the car was stripped of some weight. Nice suspension and tyres and they handle well.
How did they get so little power from a 2.0?
@@jacobfoster6773 straight N/A no Variable Value Timing. They made a 180bhp abit later on with a 2.0
@@jacobfoster6773 they only had low max(!) power. but max power says nothing about the actual power they had heaps of torque at low rpm and actually were quite fast. max torque was 195Nm at ~4100rpm. compared to a Honda B16A2 with 150Nm at 7000 (!). i had a Honda EG6 (160hp) and i also had a Peugeot S16 (the 2.0 135hp thing) and the peugeot was faster until 100km/h and after that they were very similar. uphill the peugeot was ALWAYS faster. by far.
But dont confuse the 195Nm i mentioned with the torque they measured on the dyno (202Nm the pug and 218Nm the swift). they are not 1:1 comparable
That rave scene had me rolling, everything was perfect right down to the light show love it
Same! Holy friggin moly
The rave was sadly the only good thing in this video. Cause that Peogeot is a really sad piece of crap. 😂
Agreed - I was not expecting that
Straight up chewin air burgers lol
no Hardbass in France though it’s a Russian thing…
Peugeot was pretty known for making bonkers rally cars back in the day, the 206 was raced in the WRC, and it won the drivers championship in 2000 and 2002. :D
Peugeot would never been that succesfull in wrc without loeb
206 had 24 WRC wins. Peugeot has also set 2 Pike Peak records - Suzuki also raced in the WRC, and won absolutely nothing.
The 206 WRC had nothing to do with the street car
Yeah they put everything to racing.. Basic cars were and are shit
@@TehFr3ezy He drove for Citroen. Marcus Gronholm had the most (15) wins for Peugeot. Loeb only set the pikes peak record for Peugeot in 2013.
As someone who daily drove a 206 for 2 years, all I can say is: good luck.
bro 10 years here and i still love it
@@mahderhaileselassie1919 I loved it too, but it didn't love me back.
xD
As a former owner I can tell you the 206 is a great platform. Peugeot has a knack for getting handling right. Plus just 2 springs are enough since the rear is torsion bar. Also, at least on mine, you had storage under the passenger seat. Just lift the seat bottom. Great place for my gun and a couple of extra mags. The swift has no chance if they put the right wheels and tires on the 206.
Well, as motorsport pedigree goes, Suzuki can only admire Peugeot achievements 😅 Multiple rally wins and championships on highest level, a lot of LeMans success and they even done F1 for a brief moment in 90s. My first own car was 206 GTI and i loved that thing, good luck Marty with the mods 😄
F1, WRC, Le Mans, Dakar, BTCC... Peugeot has done it all. About the only thing they haven't done is NASCAR lol
Gotta be said though as LeMans is in france and peugeot is a French company they may have invested slightly more resources than a Japanese company that spends most of its racing r&d budget on motorcycles also European car companies had something of an advantage in wrc back then as 10 out of 14 rallies were in europe
@@dudefullofjelly no? Toyota/Nissan is in Le Mans/lmp classes and is competiting at the top?
@@dudefullofjelly Counterpoint: it's true most WRC rounds were (and still are) in Europe, but so were the Japanese WRC teams. Subaru and Mitsubishi was based in the UK, Toyota was based in Germany. It's the same now as well. Hyundai World Rally Team is based in Germany, Toyota is now based in Finland.
It has to be also said that Peugeot build cars for well over 50 years before Suzuki offically did, so yeah, they definitely had a head start 😄
The long awaited return of the Electric Space Wizard. He comes bearing beats ❤
I believe that was his estranged cousin, the Electric Bogan Wizard.
I need that song tho
Could that be Al & woody?
@@mikehideous bogan? Should probably google Hakkën
The 1.6 TU5 engine is golden. You can NA tune it nicely. Goes nicely with the low weight of the 206. Nice car to drive. I have a 207 1.4 and I am equally happy with it. Very reliable too...
we have owned few of it with TU5JP4 and TU3JP4. Only one of them was a headache because it was a localized version. currently drive a '14 SD TU5.
Peugeot have got a huge rallying and racing pedigree lol. I had two 206s which were both crap and very likeable at the same time. This is pretty cool and has a lot of potential. Love the music dance hahah
The French core, ecstasy rave was up there with probably the best car intro in a long long time 😂😂😂
Fun fact- the 206 front passenger seat should lift up and pull open to reveal a secret storage compartment. Might be some surprises in there.
Like weed 😂
@@DataC0llect0r oh the basic french kit for a good protest in Paris
@@BallanOff A fire starter kit, a map of all the public guillotines, and an emergency baguette and bottle of wine?
Pingers?!?
Holy shit I completely forgot about that
I love the fact that you now have a project car that is cheap in Finland as well. I love watching regular content as well but seeing what mods you'll do to this pooshou 206 really excites my eyeballs. 😎
And as shit?
@@turbowankel1264 yeah, they aren't better here, but common
I met my partner 11 years ago. My heart sunk when I learned she had a 206cc. She still has it today and I have since spent most weekends fixing it.
As if a Peugeot 206 isn't surprising enough Moog just drops that bangin gabber track on us, hell yeah boys
the hardstyle accuracy was uncanny. This is one of the best episodes
The hakken needed some work though. lol
The XTC face is bang on (as a dutch person to say this 😂)
It was nowhere near hardstyle
perhaps it was a collab with Unicorn on Ketamine ?
As a former owner of a 1.6 GLX model 206 (2001), please keep the 1st gen front bumper Marty! And get the first gen taillights alongside (if budget suffices) 1st gen bumper - the rounded appearance just gives such a friendly and happy-go-lucky look.
The car is a joyous ride but be careful with the slack gearbox, gear-changing needs to be noice and tight 👌🏻
Also yes the 2.0 GTi is sporty and fast but the 1.6 is a well balanced power to weight (especially like you say for daily use).
Ultimately Marty - Do what you like with the happy 206, it’s yours to enjoy so have as much fun as possible with it! 🤙🏻
Genuinely impressed with Marty’s purchase, much love from the UK ✌🏻
I went in a 93 205 when I was a teenager and it was insanely fast and the handling was incredible. It was not a GTI so the GTI would have been crazy. Pugs are great cars well they were in the 90s. I hope Marty has a great time with this car.
Peugeot was one of the most successful manufacturers in motorsport in the 90s!! They won multiple championships in WRC, won at le Mans, and supplied engines in F1. Up until around 2003 (before the x07 cars hit the roads) their road cars were known for good handling and driver engagement on a low budget, the 206 being one of them. Even though Marty's car is a base 1.6 it definitely has great potential. I've personally driven a base 1.1 and although it was shit slow it was very fun to chuck about!
Poogoat
"Peugeot's never done anything" ... teen/20s me idolising Grönholm disagrees
I was about to mention they have some rally heritage. 💪🏼
Peugeot 205 T16 legendary group B rally car
They were doing great even in the '60s, winning the Safari Rally in '63, '66, '67 & '68 with a Peugeot 404. They were known as having seriously strong, reliable cars that still had decent performance - rather like Mercedes' reputation back in the '70s and '80s.
Ive been a fan since the MCM since around 2009 (9 y/o), so im familiar with music videos like TRD Lazer and personas that were played in the sleeper cressida, but NEVER, and i mean NEVER did i ever expect to witness Marty & Moog hacking it up to frenchcore (which Moog most likely produced). These guys never fail to amaze me.
truely the best there is
That was a good moment. All the clichés of the genre.
Should have gone a 306gti, great little pocket rockets. Had one years ago and it was a fun little car. Problem with older French cars is they fall apart in Oz, the plastics all become brittle and the things fall apart in our heat. I had internal components literally melt when trying to use them one summer.
Ahahah, as Frenchies we've seen way too many Peugeot 206 being modified here (even by us), but we're still very interested in seeing what Aussies would do to them! Good luck with this little project! 😄
Not a major Peugeot fan myself but some of their rally (e.g. Paris-Dakar) entries have been absolute animals. You could do much worse than convert this one to a rally mod after you've done your track face off against the Suzuki; that'd be great fun and in the spirit of this being the greatest off-road channel on TH-cam! :D
A "how to rally a regular car" episode would actually be a lot of fun. Ask their local rally school to help with the prep, ask what they do to make those cars last and fast and then send it outback.
They basically ended up owning whatever motorsport they ever entered, and then got bored and left the sport altogether to make the most boring shit they could dream up.
@@runejonassen3893 you're on point
I hope that hardcore tune gets an official release, that was straight HEAT.
The 1.6 110hp TU5 engine is actually pretty versatile and the handling will be surprising, just push it to the edge, you'll see
Honestly this is shaping up to be one of the my favorite series, truly a battle of two nuggets
We need a full length version of that track Moog
Yes.
Yes
Yes
Yes
Oui baguette fromage circe de solei!
When I first started watching mighty mods 10 years ago, I found you guys through my first car (a 206 1.1). I was longing to find mods to make it better, never happened.
Long story short never thought I'd see the day you had a french car, I still own french cars in my fleet too! I've got a Renault Clio RS197 which is pinnacle french! Recommend a Renault RS for sure, unreal track weapons
I did my mechanics apprecticeship at Peugeot in the early 90's. 205 and 309 GTi with the 1.6 & 1.9 16V engine were great cars. Then there was the 405 Mi16 which too was cool is the 90's. Gear linkages on the 206 were common to fall apart. Noticed a light switch / stalk fall out of the bag on the floor which were common to fail.
Moog has a bright career as a Gabber producer ahead of him.
You are now officially the best hard styling channel on the TH-cam!
Ooonce oonce oonce oonce
This is actually the real reason Marty bought a French car. They were itching to make some French core.
I had a 206 for a few years and I absolutely adored it. It was only the base Zest 2 model, but the stock brakes, gearbox and suspension were phenomenal. So much grip and perfect ratios, it didn't matter that it had about 70hp!! 😂 Looking forward to this series, thanks for buying this nugget - makes me want to buy another, maybe this time the GTI.
I have owned a 407 diesel with a 2.7 ltr diesel it was an absolute weapon. Surprisingly fast. Very underrated.
Yes! 😃 my dad and i literally jump out of the couch of excitement! My dad has a 206 GTi, and myself a 206 S16 1.6 16v like Marty’s! We been watching you ever since you guys started in Marty’s moms driveway, and we absolutely love every single episode you make! 😃 Thank you for being such a big part of my dad and mine’s passion of cars 😃👍
same i have an ear to ear smile seeing a car similar to my little 1.4hdi getting some love (or disrespect) XD
The 206 S16 had a 2.0L engine
I think Marty’s is the bog standard 1.6 8 valve.
It’ll be slow…
Very slow.
@@billy4eyes512 it's a NFU TU5JP4 1.6 16V 110
@@billy4eyes512 Nope, it's the 1.6 16 Valve DOHC TU5JP4, 110 Horsepower
Actually the TU5 in this car is a completely epic engine. In race trim these make 260bhp. It is one of great 4 cylinder small capacity engines to come out of Europe. Plenty of parts to extract plenty of power. Can also build the 206 like Lego with items from other Peugeot's. The car actually has a load of potential. PSA (Peugeot&Citroen) are also the most successful brand in the WRC and also have outright wins in Lemans.
My first car was a 1995 Peugeot 306 with the same engine in 8V guise. Peugeot kind of lost their way with the 206 and up until recently which is a shame as they were kings in the 80's and 90's.
I had a 307 with a tu5jp4, verry good engine ! Really tough.
The TU5JP engine is shit. Marty would've been better getting the 206 GTi, a slightly better engine than the TU5JP but still shit compared to the M16A engine. Unless the 206 is getting an engine swap, it's getting Chopped big time
The Tu5Jp4 is in my opinion better than the XU and has got a ton of aftermarket upgrades.
Still rolling with a TU5JP4S in my Citroen C2 VTS - heavily modified with high lift cams, springs retainers, build bottom end to withstand the load, ported and polished heads, Its really fast and really stable on the corners amd woul defenetly smash this Swift. The only unreliable part in this engine is the coilpacks - they tend to break and do missfires and what not.
The person who build mine is a Rally driver and he really knows whats he is doing with that TU5 - his words for this engine "we race them so hard that even with no oil they still finish the race no problem"
I'm so happy they got a car we Europeans can actually afford. 😊
I had a 206 for my first car and I loved it. Handled fantastically, reasonably comfortable, reliable (in three years the only thing that broke was the cooling fan). Looking forward to this series
Same! I had a 2.0 HDi, surprisingly zippy for 90hp. I still miss that car.
My first Daily was a peugeot 208 Puretech that came with a 1.2 3 Cylinder turbo. Pushing 130HP and 230Nm of Torque. It was a great car driving up at the mountains in Malaysia. i did moderate modifications onto the car for added stability and aggresive cornering speed. Such as a full stage racing bar, wider rubber and better springs to lower the car. This small modifications shows that this Peugeot 208 1.2 Puretech was a great at modifying them and great car to start on european style if people are not so looking forward to the obvious brands. But i sold my 208 1.2 and will be getting my 208 1.6THP soon that comes with a 200hp & 300nm torque stock. To be honest, a lot of my friends and family told me that peugeot brand in malaysia is not really supported, but for me when i stepped into the 208 Puretech, it was love at first sight. So when you guys posted a video that Moog got a swift sport and marty got a 206, i was so happy i smiled all the way till the end of the video! And Moog was asking what is Peugeot great about? The rally scene they are top dogs
Here for the Hardstyle!! Strictly speaking it's a Dutch thing but fair play, Marty's dancing is ridiculously on point!!
Supporting this, as Dutch person!
Pretty sure it is Gabber not Hardstyle
I think it's supposed to be Frenchcore.
@@Dncmaster Hardcore AcTuALly. gabber has a more "oldskool" sound.
Franch has a pretty big free party scene, and some good hardcore artists.
I didn't see it coming, but starting at 9:01 might be the best minute of MCM ever.
mate i literally just froze, fixated and grinning, and then just yelled THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER - CEST LE MAGNIFIQUE!!
@@jameswood1935 I'm sure it going to be the most replayed bit of the video 😂😂
I read this comment right before it started and it knocked me to the floor
The laugh on the first drive after buying it... Absolutely relateable! Bought a 106 1.4 2 months ago, sadly has to go since it's too far gone, but such a blast to drive. Such an amazing car.
206GTi was a fantastic rally car. Peugeot has a good rally pedigree. Having owned a 306 I would never own a French car again. Drives beautifully, fantastic suspension, breaks down a lot….
Check torx screws on those seat levers , typically need tightening 👌🏻
206 was a WRC rally car in the early 2000s. and a fairly good one.
also its the most reliable Peogeout ever built.
And the WRC version looks cool and went vey well.
also a S1600 championship winning car aswell as WRC
made Marcus Gronholm and Gilles Panizzi world chapmps

Lad dance aside, this is the most quick wittiest video I’ve ever seen from you guys!!! Had me in stitches all the way through 😂😂
I have a 4 door 1.6 petrol, 5 speed manual with a sunroof in Roland Garros green. It's a light little car that likes to rev. Well worth the small price I paid for it.
After all these years of watching MCM I am still glad you both are doing this projects with cars that might be accessible for average viewers as well. Highly appreciated, enjoy the project!
we need more "cool story" time with marty and moog 😂
These engines actually make heaps of power with a turbo. Cant wait to see what you do with it. Hope it doesnt turn to "peugeot bad memeing" lol
🇫🇷 Finnaly ! 🥖 After all this years watching you from France, you will work on French car . So stocked !
I hope you will go "full sent" on this project 💪
I just sold my 206 gti 180. I always wanted MCM to get one, or a base 206 gti. I was so excited when I saw this, though a little confused at the 1.6 litre choice...
Still, with all the go fast bits you can get for Pugs, and how well they handle, it will be an awesome set of videos.
As a pretty long time french viewer, i can't wait to see what's next for this. Almost everyone in France had or drove in a 206. Also good luck because it is indeed what we call here "une grosse merguez"
Trop fort hahaha
😂😂😂
Moog needs to make more frenchcore bangers.
AGREED
it was great because they brought in the Unicorn and the Electric Space Wizard
I have a feeling that was Unicorn on ket
Peugeot are fabulous cars and very underappreciated here in Australia. I have a T9 308 and it has been superb, no issues, great to drive. Keen to see what you to do it.
Ah! Finally a Peugeot on the show! Can’t wait to see what mods you are going to do😄
The rave makes the rest of the video… look so much better. 😂
1.6 16v from PSA are some of the most if not the most used engine in Spain for rallying, tones of posibilities with some of then getting crazy horsepower without needing a turbo. Its not difficult to get 150-160hp out of them
Cams, C2 intake, exhaust and you can achieve 150-160 hp but transmission (MA) is a trash, better swap BE from berlingo or 205
160hp is crazy? 😂
@@GRPABT1 same engine was used in C2R2 and C2R2 Max and had between 180 - 200hp
@@GRPABT1 Stock they make 110hp if I recall so it's a pretty significant bump from stock, in rallye application they make about 200hp and the "super 1600" race version made about 230hp. For an N/A 1.6 engine that's some pretty respectable figures since we're talking about engines that have an usable power band, there's also no reason why you couldn't slap a turbo on it
@@GRPABT1 for NA you have to admit it's not too bad
If the internet wasn't a thing I'd demand MCM be a kids show on Saturday mornings, it's got everything. hilarious, good music videos, educational and culturally diverse.
I bought a 206 GTi 180 ( RC ) here in Scotland for £600 in 2018 and put 20,000 miles on it with no issues , fitted lightweight alloy wheels and bilstein b14 coilovers great cars and underrated !
Good to see the Electric Space Wizard is still alive and kicking 😂
This was the funniest episode in years. Literally lol to the point of tears at the end. Stoked for this build off!
I've had one for almost two years. It was perfect cheap daily. Very comfy and good equiped (20yo small car with A/C, electric mirrors and windows is not that obvious in Europe)
"A whole culture of excitement"
"What an absolute pile of shit"

After over 10 years of watching MCM I actually cant believe a frech car is in the race. Finally something new! :D
I drive an old Citroen Saxo 1.6 16V (very similar engine) slightly modified making around 140hp, I have this car since 13 years and I absolutely love it! Living in Austria these car are becoming really rare.

Had me crying laughing lol
by far one of the best episodes i have ever watch of you guys..!!
from the wtf, did i just watched dance sequence to the cool story bro late segment 😂
thanks guyd
Those cars are good at handling, cheap to maintain and reliables. this 206 could be a good contender for the swift, although the difference of the power its gonna be notorious.
Sad thing about those cars is that they could be a bit annoying when working on them.
Love to see new cars on the show.
That's an awesome choice to be honest, something unusual. I was hoping for a Clio 172 or similar, but it's close enough!
172 are great cars also a 106 gti and 306gti are great, better than 206 Gti!!
I was hoping for a 172 aswell great track cars on a budget
306gti would have been awesome.
Yeah I was expecting a clio too.
I almost spit my beer on the "I'm not a monster" story lol
I remember buying one from a auction for £125 was a 1.4
Got it for a end of year autotest/solo pulled up at the event all the old boys seen it the look on there faces and knew thay were in trouble,
we won the event...!! under rated cars! Go Marty!
The music, the clearly worn out TN shoes, the bob, the shoulder bags, the psychedelics.
As a french I can tell you that was spot on on the type of guy who would have went to car shows in 2000-2007 reving their little clapped out 206 with stickers as power adders.
Maybe a fanny pack would have been a better match but that's a small detail.
In the early 2000, 2 types of people driving peugeot 206 stood out. Grandmas or young energetic guys who bought their first cars from grandmas. The guys with more money bought a 206 GTI. A LOT OF THEM, I mean A LOT OF THEM put body kits on their 206. blasting their music through the little villages going to the local sunday car show...
The big 3 in france are Peugeot, Citroën and Renault. The first two being under the same group share a lot of parts so they're basically the same except esthetically. If marty was looking for something French I would have personnaly preferred a Renault Clio 2 RS. But those things have turbos and 172 or 182 HP depending on the year so It wouldn't have been a fair fight for the swift.
Clio RS owner USUALLY take care of their care RELIGIOUSLY. I can't emphasise it enough. They of course got some cracked plastic here and there because it never was luxury materials and they're old but their value holds up fairly well.
I don't know what the car market looks like over there for you in australia so maybe those aren't even available.
As a frenchman, i'm happy you guys can shine the light on the 206, having one myself i assure you it's a fun, dirt cheap car you can throw around (its rear end likes to step our) ! FYI, the "gti 180" are actually called 206 RC here, it's the highest end with a 171hp 2l, and a great chassis / suspension. Too bad you got an absolute crap example x) Also, you can find 206 s16 or "gti" for 3-5k € !
so you felt that when Martin said it was a « piece of merde » 😂
You cant polish a turd.
I'd rather see it on fire. Which is what will probably happen naturally anyway.
im a bit sad, they didnt get the 306 gti. but idk how available they are in australia. I love my ph1.
@@thebnichonah man you can't dis french cars if you've not owned a proper one
Marty always find the right competitor! This battle will be gooooodddddd
Keep spends (including purchase) roughly equivalent for some extra spice - people may actually give the French nuggets a second thought 🙄
Peugeot has one of the greatest heritage in Paris-Dakar, Group B, WRC and Pikes Peak. 206 WRC was champion as well. Street version is very compact and stable. Rear end likes to kick out on limit, and this is what is famous for. Also, nose of the car tends to break loose if tyres are worn out. Turn light indicator tends to break down, that is why you got additonal one from previous owner. 1.6 16v is weak, but reliable. Basic spec has basic suspension and brakes, while XS model, S16, RC and GTI have more advance one. Wider front part, rear disc brakes etc...
At least it's not a Citroën?
But, Marty mate, you've cocked up. 😂
As a French, i cant wait to see what you’re gonna do with this mad nugget 😂 i was not expecting that 😂
If you can find Pe🤮geot Sport parts, go for it !
The super 1600 215hp is the same engine than you have actually.
Hé ben on est deux mon pote !
On est trois haha!
4
5 même !
6 ! Et je suis impatient de voir la suite 😂
Marty's face when Moog suggests a Ford. F@$king priceless! 😅
even thogh they bought a focus RS...
Wait until they learn that The Ford Fiesta is a cousin to this 206 (They did some platform sharing stuff back then)
@@garyknoetze the fester is a cousin to the mazda 2 bud. Because ford still owns shares in mazda.
OH yes that rave makes your channel pumpin guys need more of that in your channel , well done boys.
Used to own a 106 rallye great little car lots of fun.. the back loves to step out in this cars have fun 👍
😂 priceless episode lads I was in stitches laughing!😂... check out some clips of Richard Burns in his wrc Pug 206 to see what those little nuggets are really capable of... Had alot of various Pug's over the years, best 2 models imo were the 306 HDi phase 3 (unbelievable handling) , and the 607 (pure comfort).
Big love from the Irish shores 🇮🇪 ☘
I love the non-sequitur musical sequences you guys throw in. The most unique and lovable car guys on TH-cam!
1. Timing belt +water pump.
2. Control arms.
3. Shift links.
4. Lh engine mount.
5. Oil filter holder gasket.
6. Rear ham bone bearings.
looking forward to the learning curve. Have fun guys
Had a pug 208 hit and loved it. So much potential with your model,so sweet body kits around
I needed to see Marty and Moog enjoy a bit of Frenchcore❤️❤️
I spent time in Ireland and my eyes were opened - the Peugot 206 proved legendary handling and power. I hope your 206 continues that story for yah! I love how they look.
100% agree with Puke🤮got...
But lads, you might not be old enough to remember Ari 'the human tripod' Vartenen.... "Climb Dance"
1 hand into the sun, dirt, no fences...
All hail Lord Ari...
You're welcome...
Seriously fun and good handling little cars, theres not much will keep up with a well driven one on a back road.
I'm so happy you guys bought a 206. I bought a 2003 206 CC with the same 2.0L engine as GTI and it's amazing. We bought it as a compromise between me wanting to take my misses on the back of my motorbike and her wanting to feel safe in a metal box. Haven't regretted it and I upgrading and modifing as the budget allows. Can't wait for more content about this amazing little car.
Haha. So you have no safety (tin can) and no motorbike.
Buy a golf dude 😂
@argy mutt Golf's are overrated. I've had a 206cc and it's probably the best car I've ever owned. Surprisingly quick, good handling, even though it's a convertible and practically bulletproof. I now have a 208 gti and it shits all over mk5/6 Golf Gti's in terms of performance and value for money. Even compared to a Mk7 GTI, it's equally as quick, equipped and only half the price.
@@argymutt9938 I'm not that into Golfs. My 206 is a capable, cheap too run but most importantly a fun car to own and drive. Greatly recommended.
206 1.6 16v FTMFW! I miss mine. Still have a lot of my tuning parts sat waiting for me to pull the plug and buy another one. It was a weapon. TB’d, hi comp forged, b road weapon. This done right will be a weapon!
I don't see the video yet but you should consider to making a swap. 1.6thp from a rcz-r or 308 gti with 272hp and 6 speed manual gearbox with torsen should be epic.
The best car channel in the world 👏
That epic music montage is not something i would have ever expected for this car, absolute banger though!
Fat ass kick! Never in my 10+ years of watching MCM was I expecting that! I want the full track guys, make it happen :D:D:D
That music video omfg you guys are bananas. Right back to 2000s encore une foi madness😭😂😂😂
I don’t think I’m ever gonna mentally recover from that “dance sequence/mad pelvis thrusting” segment… there’s goes my bottle of medication for the week!! Lmao
