We hope you enjoyed this series as much as we enjoyed making it. What did you think of the result?

As a 206 owner, its not trash, its underrated gold

I feel like some brake upgrades for both cars could have been a great addition even if just some higher performance pads and fluid. Marty clearly needed them especially.

A full race-alignment on the Swift would have been sticking to the "Cash vs. Trash" theme as the cash outlay for extra adjustability is exactly why you would spend more.

something you didn't mention in the cost breakdown, where I think a large portion of the swift budget went to, is safety.
the cage, the seats, the race gear etc. if you were to roll it on one of those corners you're walking away in much better mood than you would after a few flips in the peugeot.
enjoyed the series guys! keep up the good work

Was always rooting for the 206, had one as a first car, so it's always got a place in my heart.

This video shows that weight reduction can really make a difference since both car were suspension tuned to be almost alike. Also I think that Moog should’ve done a proper suspension adjustment and not trying to match Marty because that’s the whole purpose of buying a higher end suspension. But it helped show that weight is a factor worth considering.

Great little series, but I'm honestly surprised that proper high temp brake fluid and track pads were not used. That would have not only improved performance and lap times, but is also a huge safety aspect that should not be ignored.

I love how often MCM uploads. Keep up the good work Marty and Moog!

Great series.
I think for budget buyers, the 180hp version of the 206 with some good tyres would give better performance for buck than tuning a swift up to match (or a Clio RS II/III).
Also the torsion beam probably isn't going to be a limitation when you consider the Megane Trophy R is still torsion beam.

Moog looks like a Minion in that helmet and flo-yellow suit.

I love the fact that this episode is out while Peugeot is currently leading the LeMans 24 Hours Race! IDK if they actually win of course, there's a couple of hours left, but I thought I would write it as a comment for posterity!

In reality an approach somewhere in between cash and trash is going to net you the best performance for your money depending on what components you're looking at.

This has been a fun series, top work as always guys.

[jfgaxeworks]

This is the best content from MCM outside of the long films. I love the super-budget builds that are an homage to your work from early years, but with access to high quality tracks and equipment. Great work as always.

Weight and tires will makes huge gains on lower power cars everyone wants high hp numbers for the flex but better handling and grip has the pay-off way higher good series enjoyed this hopefully inspires a few to get on the track in whatever they can get there and can't put a price on the smile you'll have after

“Knowing that for those 24 seconds we’re free”…lol!!! Starting off with painfully amusing truths from the very beginning. I love it

[twitchdeanog]

This series cash vs trash has been great 👍🏼 love it

[ItsNotBushWeek]

Loved this series, good reminder to spend wisely. Was hoping to see an episode for swaybars, end links, subframe braces etc.
JDM fwd street cars dramatically improve handling with these upgrades. Marty could have welded up a scrap bin special subframe brace 🗿 One for the next season perhap?!

[Heyitsallgoodman]

You're dropping this as we're up early morning watching LeMans lol wish I was there in person

[jonocarmody]

Moog: “Not sure if I need the whole race suit thing!”

Had me laughing 😂😂
