Suzuki VS Peugeot | Cheap Nugget Battle (Dyno, Weight + Race)

[@mightycarmods]

We really enjoyed testing these nugget cars out and hope you enjoy this episode. A lot of people want to support the show. And the best thing you can do to help out is grab a sticker or a tshirt. We pack it ourselves here in Sydney. We’ve got an all new BLACK range which you can check out here mightycarmods.com/collections/black-edition We’ve got

Hello

[@outofthi5world567]

As you said in your video buy an equivalent car to what your mates have, I have an idea for yous since you bought the cheapest example in the country, find a car you both like and one of you buy the cheapest example and the other buy the most expensive example in the country, see what it takes to get the cheapest one to the same level, see what's still wrong with the most expensive one and then modify them using genuine parts for the expensive one and knockoff parts for the cheap one.

[@feenyx6394]

That looked like such a good time! I used to own a 106 Rallye that was a right hoot to drive, and living in Europe meant parts availability was obviously better, and way cheaper. rev happy 1.6 liter, 103 horsepower, and only 860kg of car to lug around. It moved very well! We didn't get the 1.6 in the Swift here sadly, only the 1.3. The chassis is probably still solid, don't know how much else changes with the Sport version you've got there?

[@quixototalis]

The Peugbro turned Marty into a giggling track gremlin. Hunched over the wheel cackling as he locked up and four-wheel-drifted around corners to keep Moog at bay. Say what you want about either of these cars, that looked like a ridiculous amount of fun for both!

Always loved the 206, shame you didn't get the GTI 180. Sports variant vs sports variant. So far it's been a bit unfair on the old pug, was very surprised to see how well it did against the swift considering it's just the pov base spec commuter version. Looking forward to seeing you turn it into a 206 WRC tribute!

[@Biohazard667Productions]

kinda agree.. but the 206 GTI is waay faster then the swift sport.. it's a 2 liter 16v so not really matching the swift in that area

If the Peugeot wins then Moog should get a clio 182 and then Marty can get the gti 180, or other way round even.

Exactly. Not sure why at all you would take the 1.6 over a GTi.

It's not all about hp... it's how you drive it, and the feels

[@jvf7762]

With nuggets like this, they are able to go harder and have more fun with less serious business because the cars capabilities are so much lower. Cars like that are excellent fun to drive hard because you aren’t going to be like mustang bro wrapped around a tree. With monster cars you have to be more serious and much more careful instead of just running them flat out.

[@mtsstnslvssn]

The TU5JP4 is one of the better French 16-valve engines, on an armored cast iron block. Very amenable to modification. You can pull about ~150 horsepower out of it cheaply by changing the exhaust manifold, adding sharp camshafts with adjustable pulleys and an aluminum intake manifold from a Citroen C2 VTS, all topped off with tuning. Combined with the car's low weight, it makes for an incredibly fun driving experience :)

[@hughparris2073]

I wonder if they can find a whole TU5JP4S out of a C2 VTS - that would be a good upgrade on its own!

[@TheSgtAngry]

I agree, I have a TU5JP4 in a 1st gen C3 and while the car itself is garbage, that engine with a manual is so much fun to trash around and is incredibly reliable as well.

I still love the fact the 208 GTI "kinda" runs its legacy. I know its turbo-charged, makes much more HP and the fun factor potentially goes down with all the electronics truly interrupting the ultimate driving feel but i'm just happy Peugeot didn't niglect completey the GTI lineup. Now a good used one is quite affordable where I live which is nice as well and definitely considering it a future car.

Those little 206's are known in the UK for being pretty bulletproof simple cheap easy to get parts for apart from rust and the odd electrical issue they're not that bad and you can buy one for like £500

[@daktari]

I've seen people running 206s with no oil or coolant. Let's be honest here, the 206 is a bulletproof car and cheap to run, the only issue would be finding parts in Australia where I'm guessing they aren't that common. In Euroland they're everywhere so you can just go to the scrap and find whatever body panel or part you seek for cheap. Also this is the internet, the Americans won't be voting on online polls for French cars, because even though they've never seen one IRL they believe they're terrible "because French lol".

[@dracaufi]

@@ElySky95 strange, that's a truly solid car, no joke Which engine it was ?

[@nealwright5622]

Their Achilles heel (very appropriately) is the rear axle - the trailing arms pivot on needle bearings which rot away along with the stub that they mount on and the rear wheels develop a large amount of negative camber, sometimes so much that the tyres rub the inner arches! Entire rear axle replacement required every few years. There are entire companies that specialise in supply of refurbed axles. It's not a particularly expensive or difficult job to do the swap at least. Possibly in the Australian climate it's not so much of an issue.

[@TheSkyline35]

The 206 is a reliable beast, seriously this mechanic's opinion is surprising. Here in France they are still driving EVERYWHERE. They are very solid. French cars are really poor reliability between 2004-2012 era. The 206 is solid. The 207 with the 1.6 however is a tick bomb

Looking forward to marty learning about torsion bar suspension..! Lift of oversteer for the win!

[@krisdewar5162]

I was just about to write the same thing

[@ferrumignis]

Lift off oversteer has nothing to do with having torsion bars vs coil springs. Both the Swift and the Pug have somewhat similar rear suspension designs (i.e. trailing arms) that provide zero camber control of the rear wheels which is why they are so eager to step out when you lift off.

[@tiagobelo4965]

​@@ferrumignis this is not the torsion bar you are thinking about, in this case "torsions bar" refers to a specific sort of semi-dependent trailing arm suspension

[@adambcvg]

​@@ferrumignis the 206 lift off oversteers because of the rubber beam mounts. They allow the whole thing to twist, changing the toe + camber angles.

[@nimaforoughi7266]

​@@tiagobelo4965 Are you thinking of a Panhard bar?

[@LunaWuna]

I actually have the 1.4 turbo version of the swift sport and you can really throw it around due to it being a lot ligher than the older 1.6 NA model and extremely torquey at the low end

[@VampyrMygg]

It's easy to forget how much location plays in, as here in Norway it's kinda the opposite, the 206 is cheap and easy to find parts for, the Swift Sport isn't sold in Norway, as Suzuki Norway only sells AWD Suzukis, though some people did special order some, so there's like 6 Swift Sports in Norway in total, parts having to be special ordered in some cases, as they don't have FWD bits at the Suzuki dealerships. That said though, as a friend of mine used to work at a Suzuki dealership he owned one of the 6 Swift Sports in Norway, and test driving it both when stock, and when on coilovers and 18" OZ magnesium wheels, it is a car that is quite glued to the road, but their proportions feel strange, like the roof is super tall when stood next to one. Haven't driven a normal 206, but they were incredibly common on the road, to the point of there being 206 racing leagues. I did however get driving lessons in a 206CC as my grandmother used to have one, most I remember of that was how annoyed I got at not having low RPM torque, so exiting a roundabout in 2nd gear to go up a small hill, I ended up having to downshift into 1st, which I was not used to having to do at all.

[@ferrumignis]

Even though the Swift Sport was available in the UK, parts are still expensive and there is much less aftermarket support compared to European brands. That also affects insurance, my Swift Sport insurance was nearly 50% higher than a newer, more valuable and more powerful Golf GTi. The Swift is far more fun to drive though.

@@Wirenfeldt1990 A spicy Clio is a very good choice, best choice when it comes to French cars from the past 20/25 years... or a spicy Megane. What also could be fun is a '04/'05 Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDI RS if they can get one in Aussieland. Those 1.9 TDI engines make about 95~100kW standard but just with a basic tune it will do at least 120kW and with some reasonable cheap performance parts it will do well over 130kW... lots of potential for little money. TG has done a bit on it where one of those outpaced a Mini Cooper S... only but is that the TDI Fabia is very front heavy and with standard suspension it's terrible in the corners.

And the chassis on that 206, with the right suspension and tires, will wipe the floor with that Suzuki!

Derek from ViceGripGarage once said it’s way more fun to try to drive slow cars fast… you two proved him right with this one!

[@musguelha14]

And he was the first person to say it

[@SerenaBluee]

People have been saying this for decades.

[@nekoroms]

captain slow also said that and nobody believed at that time :)

[@ertebelj]

The 206 has sway bars inside the rear subframe, that Can be upraded If needed. I’d do that on mine as a track car!

[@ertebelj]

I Also recommend a fully 2” exhaust for it for optimal flow! Gave mine like 10-14 hp. A cup intake Also give it more of a kick Down low

[@ValdeSanus]

So not true about French cars, issues and parts. I've done hundreds of laps in 40 degree heat in a Renault Clio Sport from 2001, with 200,000kms on it with zero issues. Cheapest, most reliable track car I've ever had. Parts are cheap from the UK and very easy to get.

[@Szymon_Uliasz]

Weve had a 206 with the same engine and over 6 years nothing has broken other than a worn wheel bearing

[@depressiospaghettio3521]

i really hope you make the 206 maaaad. maybe an ITB build rather than a turbo?

[@musewolfman]

That would sound maaaad! And on a tight track like this one, it would probably do quite well.

[@nizzan91]

+1 for the ITB build, those french NA engines sound mad when they are allowed to breathe

[@ferrumignis]

@@nizzan91 So does the Swift engine.

[@hughparris2073]

Agreed - the gearbox on the 206 wouldn't last long with a turbo. It was designed to cope with small capacity NA SOHC engines - the torque of a turbo will snap it like it's a carrot! There is a factory gearbox upgrade available, but probably impossible to find in Australia (and needs some other expensive mods to make it work).

[@bernardmasambaji466]

The series have been waiting...this is 🔥🔥

[@RyanCox14]

That really was the best and most laughed at episode of MCM I've ever watched! As a Peugeot owner here in Ireland I very tempted to get a 206 to just take to the track for the same reasons as the two of you, for the Shits and Giggles 🤣

[@matt_hayward]

I didn't believe it until I experienced it. But pugs with some mods love to lift off oversteer. I went for a ride in a 306 gti6 (? There are maybe a handful of them in Australia literally) but I instantly loved the mity pug after that. Such a capable platform

[@MatsGarage]

I hope you will run similar tires on both cars thru all the upgrades to keep that part equal.

[@devivoman]

Just had a smile plastered on my face the whole episode! This is going to be a great series!

[@iainfreeman4751]

It depends were you live in brit bits are cheap and there everywhere.The Suzuki is Japanese bit are dear and there not as popular.

[@jokeychan7526]

can't wait for the next episode, if you've ever driven a SSS you know that feeling of going into a corner at 'full speed' knowing you'll make that overtake.

[@TDPEquinox]

I want to see what those tires look like after that punishment hahaha

[@robertwindle6683]

In the UK you could of picked that 206 for around 800 pound! I owned one came back to it after walking the dog round a lake, wouldnt start no spark.. 2 days later found a dark mark on the back of the fuse box circuit board in the engine bay 👍

[@wolverinejh79]

I can't wait for you to find the BSI unit that Peugeot uses instead of an ecu 😂

[@Suixak]

the dear BSI and BSM, the internal contacts break down continuously, and many of them do not have a spare part at the factory,,,,, (you have to look for an astute electronic to repair them).🎉

[@NickArthfael]

They have an ECU, the BSI controls some of the auxiliary electronics, the engine can still run without a BSI with a custom ECU just fine.

[@timothywild9670]

I read BS unit at first

[@Suixak]

Correct BSI controls accessories, but also the gasoline pump, (which is what breaks down the most in the BSI, as it carries more tension). Here in the EU there is a lot of second-hand market, since it is not found new.

[@ricketyhermit2831]

This has to be my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE episode EVER, and I'm pretty sure I've seen them all... I don't think I've ever seen yall have so many laughs ever. Made my day so much better😂. Sooo Good.

[@bigchief2331]

Never trust a mechanic who says French cars are rubbish. They're actually very good. Find a competent mechanic with skills, tools and appreciation for these cars and they cost no more than any other brand to maintain. Also, DIY what you can. I love French cars and will continue buying them. Full of character and great to drive.

[@DashCamSerbia]

Usually when mechanic is recommending you a certain car, what he means is he is recommending a car that he will make a lot of money on from all the future work on it.

[@vibes6717]

@@DashCamSerbia literally not true considering how reliable the swift is

[@ChevTheMechanic]

Skills, tools, and appreciation are jack shit when you cannot get parts and the engineering is shit.. 😂😂😂 Never trust a person questioning a mechanic that does mechanic work everyday... because as a mechanic, I would always go for the easier to work on and parts galore over the other..

[@bigchief2331]

@@ChevTheMechanic Parts for Peugeot are readily available these days. Engineering is excellent.

[@TheGenis97]

What a mechanic.. this 1.6 16v Peugeot engine is an absolut rock, no major issues known and super reliable and easy to modify.

[@Crychavoc]

That Swift is going to get swiftly chopped so hard once the 206 is in track mode 😂

[@ljphoenix4341]

Marty's smile and laughter was infectious, was grinning just watching this.

[@CaptainFalcon92]

You all clearly don't know at all what you are talking about regarding 206s ^^ you say bs over bs, this is hearsay all at best lol. In this battle the swift is in good shape with the pro to be supposedly a "sport" version ? still a fatigued 206 with no tires keeps up ? 16 millions sold in france alone and millions of these are still around going strong since 2002 . Shit tonne of mods available, up to 200hp on the cheap on stock engine with a turbo. The TU block is more reliable you would ever need. These car are great despite being unfortunately to light on the rear axle. You bought a poorly maintain, loose-chassis one, on the other side of the planet... that does not mean much. It is definitely worth modding, have a look on what's available you'll be surprised

[@StillOnTheRun]

Always chose the 206 in NFSU!

[@antontaylor4530]

Delighted to see how close the french nugget got to the swift. Makes me feel like the post-build battle will be awesome!

[@damenh85]

Great episode, super fun. Looking forward to seeing how the track times and fun change with mods!

[@HighlandViking78]

Said it in the first video, I can't wait to see how Marty tackles lowering the rear beam axle on the peugbro 😂 absolute nightmare.

[@GTSW1FT]

Im pretty sure the swift has the rear suspension design. Cause I know the gen after this one does

[@HighlandViking78]

@@GTSW1FT definitely got springs on the back of the suzuki, I have fitted a few to that model.

[@hughparris2073]

Down here in the antipodes where the roads aren't salted the beams usually come apart without too much drama.

[@lordgoofus2364]

Who says you need an expensive sports car to have a blast? That battle had me grinning from ear to ear the entire time. So much more fun driving a slow car at it's absolute limits. The smoke! The squeeling tires! The random moments of understeer and oversteer. The multiple near misses. Utter chaos. And we loved every second of it.

[@nizzan91]

I really hope Marty is going to go completely nuts on modifying the Peugeot. I'm thinking adjustable suspension, tires, ITB build or engine swap, maybe both. Make this new 2Sexy build, only more scuffed.

[@GTSW1FT]

2scuffed

[@deadlizard64]

My chopped keyring has always been on my 206 CC 2.0L key. Best little car I've ever owned but the mechanic is right, literally can't get parts for them. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@lowkiller62]

isn't the suzuki swift sport supposed to be 125/130 hp? or is it powertrain losses that makes it "only" 105?

[@SubaruBabaa]

The 125/130hp is probably rated at the crank, this Dyno is at the wheels

[@GTSW1FT]

@@SubaruBabaa yep, manufacturers love giving us the power rating with out the drive line losses

The racing was so good! Love to see you guys battle in such different and equally matched nuggets!
