This cult mentality here helps no one. Many of you pointing fingers at Ikenna are worse. Let's stop this gang bullying. I can see some enjoy chasing away ppl they see as threat so they will continue to be king of car talk.

If you specialize in Japanese cars. Allow European car specialist do his thing and vice versa

Stop the gang bullying

You are so on point it's so disheartening how the thread was derailed by stupid talk over his personality etc from the holiest than thou gang. The thread is about his 505 DIY and not his fucking personality I hope the detailers take up the thread since it worked out as planned

A Post and Testimony From The Lion Community.


Lion King - Monk.

Part 1: The Peugeot 504*

Have You Heard The Wonders Of Peugeot 504 Saloon?

The Best TBT to take with you through the weekend. The car below is called Peugeot 504 Saloon. It is an SR Version. We also have GL.

This car is known, for amazing speed, metal body, and stability. In fact, I will still remind you, you cannot compare this old school with the Toyota 110, E91, Carib etc. This machine from France has her equals.

The GL and The SR engines use either point or Magneto technologies.

The Magneto version came as a fuel saver. It is totally economical despite being a caburator vehicle.

HOW ABOUT THE SPARES?

They are very available. In every town, There is always that shop(s) known for these cars. And always that Mechanic known for this vehicle. If you need one, nione kando.

You don’t need to keep replacing the parts. You can run for a along time. Look at the shock absorbers, hardly will you replace them, you only replace the fluid , and buy the kits, and run for another three years. THREEE SOLID YEARS.

How do you identify a Magneto engine?

Check at the distributor, it has a cable attached to it, running to the left part of the bonnet into a silver metal plate with two modules. I will take photos of the same and attach them to this post later. Someone remind me.

With the Magneto system, be sure, 15km per liter will run. Don’t forget, it is an 1800 cc, look at that.

By the way, did you know that you can use this saloon engine in the 504 Pickup? Yes, they share the engine. Now you understand why this car glides on the road like shit.

CAUTION!!!

When driving this car, avoid moving close to the babies (demios, premios etc) of these days, because, if you happen to scratch them hata kidogo, they will look like they have been run over by Easy Coach.

IF YOU ARE THE REAL OG WHO VALUES OLD SCHOOL, Don’t think twice about this car.

Part 2 – The Peugeot 504

The Revving Sound of this engine was the most unique with an impressive long stretch of a tenor sound. 1Km away, you would know, Simba Ako gear one, two etc.

Only two brands have used the logo of lion well. The cold Pilsner (imara Kama Simba) and the Mighty French Machine, imagine if you had both….

The 1800CC car would produce a horsepower of 140. And the same engine would be put in a pick-up, 504, and drag a long 20 passengers, 14 seated side by side, three bending in the middle path of the pick-up, and three hang out there, and all this passengers with at least a sack of maize, beans or vegetable on the carrier.

Imagine when that engine is in a saloon only. Wuee!!!

The French men thought it wise to bring in 2000cc, and 2400cc.

The 2000cc, produced a horsepower of 160. Do you know what that means?

Well, the shocks and the comfort of the seats, marched the African market perfectly.

The ground clearance which is 6.6 inches, still stands very tall. You can cruise off road without stress.

Many desert roads were friendly to the Field Marshal.

Many are not aware that the Frenchman brought in the Disel version. Especially the 2000cc and the 2400cc.

The body is purely metallic. You have heard stories of people who tried to commit suicide with the car and still got back home Alive to retell the tale.

It’s the kind of car to take to a welding shop to have it fixed with raw fire

Being the Epic of Power, Pride, And Speed, Simba 5 never lacked in the presidential Escort.

At the reserved parking lot of the heads of parastatals, The Senior Judges and Magistrates, Prominent Business People and Provincial Directors Of Education (PDEs), Simba stood tall.

Needless to Say, the sound of that Engine Twerked Uncountable Ovaries.

As Frank Akwabi Said the other day, if your father had this, start looking for your step brothers and sisters.

RESPECT SIMBA.

“I Will Never Dispose Of It”, Says Man Who Uses Peugeot 505 For 30 Years


Without any delay, Alhaji Ibrahim, who was then the sales manager of Arewa Textiles in Kaduna, quickly sold his car, got a loan and bought the car of his dream from Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN) Limited. Since then (that is 30 years now), he has been cruising the vehicle without contemplating to let it go.

“It cost me a little over N15,000 to acquire,” he said, admiring the blue-colour Peugeot saloon car parked outside his home. Outwardly, save for a broken wing mirror, nothing about the car showed that it has been on the road for three decades.

And for the engine, its owner could confidently boast: “Now if I fill my tank, I can go to Lagos.”

After Alhaji Ibrahim bought his car in 1982, two of his friends admired and bought one each for themselves. While he could not recall how one of them disposed of his car, the grey-haired retiree remembered everything about the other. “He purchased it about four months after mine and sold it to a businessman in Kantin Kwari market. The carcass of the car is just there at the mechanic’s garage. Every day I go there to service my own car, I see it,” he explained.

Death of contemporaries of his car did not just stop at his close friends, Alhaji Ibrahim recollected, saying every other Peugeot 505 he knew to be as old as his own, was longer “on the road.”

Three decades old and yet the vehicle is breaking more records. In the same year it was bought 30 years ago, a baby was born into the family of Alhaji Ibrahim. That child, who is now as old as the car, is the one using it to attend lectures at the university.

The father of 18 told Sunday Trust that the secret behind the seeming unparalleled longevity of his Peugeot automobile is regular maintenance.

“I remember going to Tiga (dam) to buy fish in the Volvo I bought from Briscoe. On my way back, the car overheated. It was on a Sunday evening. So I had to leave it there. The following morning I went to Briscoe. It was the first incident I had, that time I didn’t have Peugeot. So I took my maintenance file to the workshop manager in Briscoe and told him what happened. After checking my maintenance schedule, he sent a towing vehicle and they towed and repaired the car free of charge,” he narrated.

Apart from the 30-year-old car, Alhaji Ibrahim disclosed that he had also used a Peugeot 504 for close to 24 years before disposing it. Yet he still drives a Mercedes Benz car he bought in 1987.

According to him, his way with keeping cars in good shape does not stop at the ones in his personal fleet. “When I was working for the Katsina State government as a commissioner in the electoral commission, I was assigned a 504 as official car for four years. By the time I returned it, people were saying this car is not more than four or five months. I believe in maintenance and whichever car I have, I maintain it excellently, because I know how difficult it is to get it.”

Only about five years ago, he encountered, for the first time, what he described as ‘fault’ from his Peugeot 505, which he attributed to human error. “I asked my son to gauge the water in the radiator and he did without closing the radiator cover tightly. So I travelled to Katsina with the car, with air condition on. On my way back, I noticed a change in its sound, so I switched off the AC and parked. I discovered that the radiator cover had fallen and the water had drained out. I phoned my mechanic and the following morning we went back with a top cylinder gasket and fixed it. And before 12pm, we were back in Kano,” he related.

Alhaji Ibrahim has vowed not to sell his old car no matter the price. The old man recalled that his children been inundating him with complaints about the vehicle being an old one and needs to be changed, saying he often counter them with the answer: “that is your problem.”

“My own problem is not a car or a house. My own problem is for you to get educated,” he would tell the children in defence of his car. Not satisfied, one of the children attempted to sell it without his consent, on the grounds that its proceeds could be used to buy another car, explained. “They went and priced it N350,000 and my mechanic phoned me, saying ‘Alhaji instead of taking that N350,000, why not keep that car, it would serve you more than the amount’.”

“If I had the N350,000, it would not buy me another car. And even if it buys me another one, the durability will not be there. So I asked my children, ‘why do you bother yourselves when this car is still working? If you want, save and buy the car of your choice.”

Just as he is not comfortable with the idea of disposing the car, Alhaji Ibrahim is not keen to owning modern ones. “There are many flashy cars around; coupled with the fact that everything has been computerized. But if it comes to durability and maintenance, you cannot compare them to the ones of those years. If you take wrong or adulterated fuel, for instance, you will find your vehicle stopping on the road. That is very common with most of these sophisticated cars. But this car, anything you put to it, it will still go. And with the attitude of our drivers, you can be sure if somebody hits you, it is his vehicle that will suffer.”

“The innovation is ok. But honestly speaking, we need these types of cars on Nigerian roads now. More so, any village you stop, you will get the spare parts. But for some of these (modern) cars, there are some mechanics who don’t even know what to do to them when they get problem. As for this one, any mechanic anywhere in Nigeria can repair it for you,” he argued.

SHORT STORY OF THE PEUGEOT 504 Pickup GROUP B


A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN AFRICA
The Peugeot 504 had a really successful career on the African rally tracks during the 70s. Safari Rally, Morocco Rally, Bandama (Ivory Coast) and local championships, the saloon version of the Peugeot was dominating the Africain rallies. Homologated in July 1975, le Coupe V6 version proudly carried the legacy on ! Following all of its successes, the car earned the nickname of « Queen of Africa ».
At the beginning of the 80s, it was time to replace the 504 Coupe V6, and for a new protagonist to enter the story, named Peter Hughes. He was a local former rally driver, who had been pretty successful on the Rally Safari with several Ford cars. At the time, he was the owner of Associated Vehicle Assemblers (AVA), a newly created company transforming 504 saloon cars into pickup trucks for the local market. He was then approached by Marshalls of Nairobi, the Peugeot distribution network in Kenya. They were aware of the good publicity that could represent a racing Peugeot on the African rally tracks, and this is how the former pilot got in charge of the homologation of the Peugeot 504 Group B pickup.
The new Group A category seemed to be the perfect playground for the Peugeot pickup, allowing high production tourism cars to race against each other with reduced costs. Moreover, while waiting for the manufacturers to finish the development of their new bespoke rally cars, FISA eased the homologation conditions. Any car homologated to race in Group 4, which was the case for the 504, could be transferred in Group A with a simple application, allowing private teams to create a field of cars while waiting for the manufacturers.


AN ACCIDENTAL HOMOLOGATION IN GROUP B
Unfortunately for the team, one detail of the regulation had been neglected, the minimum volume of the driving cabin. Because of its particular design for a rally car, the pickup did not fulfill this requirement and, as stipulated by the FISA, was automatically transferred into the new Group B regulation. The car was then approved for the Group B on December 1, 1982 and the 20 cars required for the homologation (which most of them never raced) have been built shortly after.
Unlike the 504 Coupe, the homologated pickup version was not fitted with the powerful but highly-fuel consuming and expensive V6, but with the 4-cylinder 1971 cm3 engine. Pilots have been reporting that race marshals were so much used to see the Coupe V6 racing for the past years, that many of them accidently wrote « Peugeot 504 Pickup » on the entry and result lists during the 1983 season. It is also important to note that the Group B-homologated version was RWD, having proved to be very performant and reliable on African endurance with the old versions of the 504.
The 504 Pickup started racing in 1983 during Kenyan Rally Championship. Luckily, the local championship was overlapping with the World Rally Championship during the Marlboro Safari Rally, and the 504 pickup would be able to compete against some other Group B cars.

Most manufacturers had still not launched their Group B cars, and the competing cars at the time were also former Group 4 cars transferred into the new regulation. The starting line-up was still very impressive, with an Opel Ascona driven by Ari Vatanen and two audi Quattro A1, including one driven by Michèle Mouton. The Peugeot pickups were competing also into the B11 category, respectively cars with engine displacement between 1.6 and 2 litres.

A SHORT CAREER IN GROUP B
Two Peugeot 504 pickups took part into the race, and then officially became the first Peugeot cars to race into the Group B category. Johnny Bellier and Basil Criticos, two local experimented rally drivers, are at the wheel. However, the cars had really low chances of finishing the race at a good position, facing opposition with much bigger engines.

The first one finished the race in eighth position, more than seven hours later than the leading quatuor, lost into a field of smaller private cars. Criticos retired from the race due to a broken gearbox. Another pilot, called Vic Preston Jr, drove the Peugeot for the rest of the national season, driving it once to the victory.

An evolution of the pickup has been homologated for the 1984 season, the biggest update being the fitting of new Weber carburetors instead of the old Solex ones. Thanks to other small evolutions, the engine was then delivering 170 hp.

The 504 pickup started becoming (a bit) successful. The French truck has still been taking part into the Kenyan Rally Championship with Johnny Rellier, and a second car is driven by another experimented local driver named David Horsey. Rellier managed to finish the 1984 Marlboro Safari Rally in 15th position, still seven hours away from the official cars, but Horsey unfortunately had to retire after a crash.

Although Johnny Rellier was only racing in Kenya, David Horsey decided to take its Peugeot out of the borders of the country. He notably entered the pickup into the Bandama Ivory Coast Rally, also overlapping with the World Rally Championship. As part of a field including only 12 competitors, he finished the race in 5th position. Thanks to this incredible result and to victories in Zimbabwe and Rwanda, he also won the 1984 African Rally Championship and, at the same time, written down the name of the atypical Peugeot 504 pickup into the rally rankings forever.

The racing career of the African version of the Lion pickup seems to have ended at the end of this race. Other Peugeot 504 pickups competed into the Dakar Rally race during the 80s, but these have no link with the cars which competed in the Group B championship. They were being built by Dangel, a French custom workshop.

Today, a few rebuilds can be found racing into some historical events in Africa and a wonderful replica has been displayed at Goodwood in 2018, making every exotic-car lover happy.

Another Peugeot 504 pickup Group B also took part into the 1984 Finnish 1000 Lakes Rally, without any visible link with the cars racing in Africa.

Peugeot VIN data from British Columbia, Part 3:

505

Unlike the older models of Peugeot in the VIN data that I got, the 505 was introduced to the BC market after the computerized vehicle regthre was online so I can say that these are all of the 505s that were ever sold here. A few could have been private imports, but not many at all, under 5, if that.

Peugeot Canada Ltd. handed over sales to Chrysler Canada between 1983 and 1987, so the relatively few sales reflects the disinterest of that dealer network in selling Peugeots.

Update on my 505 Project:

The brand new Engine successfully assembled and swapped in, including the brand new Gearbox and brand new rear Differential I purchased for the project, among other parts. The major Electrical part of the conversion done too, while other parts of the conversion await for me to complete, soon.

As for the naysayers, envy ones and haters, continue to beat that drum as I continue to focus and manifest my desires.

END OF MY PEUGEOT 505 NEW XN1A CONVERSION PROJECT.

Today, 28/12/2020, marks the end of the project which I started in early January 2020 (Lasted 12 months), after installing AC components today, recharged the system which now chills very cold as before with the previous V6 engine (Power Steering components were installed last week though).

I found myself beating my chest this evening, shouting "YES, I DID IT!" All it took me was to desire/want it, cut off distractions and gave the project undivided attention and it became a reality, just like my other successful concluded projects. My last breath will be my happiest moment, for it has been a fulfilled life.

- Will clean up the lion's interior of packs, boxes & plastic bags of parts used on the project.

- Will take my time to choose a good painter for a quality body paint on the lion and also change the interior to quality leather.

- The lion recently started emitting black smoke which I wasn't surprised, considering the brand new 34-34 Z1 double Carb was sitting, collecting dust for about 15 years before I made the purchase. It's expected the fuel passages could be clogged. Will make out Time and set the carb apart and do the expected which I am good at during my 504 GL days (I still miss the 32-35 MIMSA double Carb I had in my previous 504 GL. Hope to come across a good/new one someday soon and make it mine).

One of the rear brake calipers started binding today, after using the handbrake on several occasions last week. It's expected, considering how long the lion has been parked. Will service the affected or all calipers, as day goes by.

- The used I-4 PAS pump mounted has been acting up most times since I mounted it last week. The dealer I got it from is searching for another good one for replacement.

- Is time to now neatly pack/arrange the new wiring harnesses/connections I created for the new systems I swapped in, since every connection works perfectly as I intended while creating them.

- Special thanks and appreciation go to Chadi Magdi (Egypt), Salman Al Halaby (Australia) & Rabin Rutten-James (Canada) who all shared their priceless knowledge on XN engines with me, to help with the project at the beginning of the project. All our discussions were noted and applied, which led to the success. Thank you.

I divided the project into two from the beginning. Part 1 has been concluded, which was to remove, assembled and swapped in a new XN1A Engine in my 505, including other components/parts that go with the new Engine. The Part II was to do a 504 GL V6 Stick-Shift Saloon Conversion Project (find and swap in V6 components removed from the 505 into a matched 504 designed to handle the V6 power). I am excitedly looking forward the day the 2nd part of the project will commence.
