notice it's bought not brought (pet hate )

had a 6hr round trip journey last night to go look and get it

knackered today

anyhow, what you think

for those who dont know, it's a GTI-6

 

is this to replace the 205?

 

That looks heavy Nice

 

Yeh but theres so much you can take off

 

Nice

 

nice and heavy to keep me planted to the floor



it's my backup track car

as my r888's and front brake pads will fit on the 306 so ideal if the 205 breaks

 

Are these better than the clios? Youve sold you 172 havnt you?? I want a 172 cup

 

i just didnt click with the clio certainly didnt rock my boat

i have only drivent eh 306 100 odd miles and find it much better, rev's much better, just prefer it

this one does have a set of cams and a remp to around 190bhp, so probably does go better than my clio anyhow

 

I thought they had a terrible gearshift making it very hard to shift quickly? Or can you buy a replacement kit which improves it? Besides from that I've heard they are pretty good on track.

 

Love it Steve. Ive been looking at them/rallyes as well.

 

yeah, some are shocking

this one is nice and tight

 

New rods are pennies anyway.
I would suggest you ditch that horrible 6 speeder asap tho *ewwww*

 

its staying. Its not like i need to turn right often lol

 

The 6 speed box makes the Gti-6

 

Yeh makes it slower than the same car with a 5 speeder.

Spiky - turning right on track wont be a problem. I just feel like its wasted on that car. They have no need for 6 gears, and have a much better spread over 5

 

The 206 quickshift kit fits the 306 gti and is currently on offer on the compbrake website at Ł30 plus vat

 

Nice car.

 

how dose that work then, have you drove one with a 5 speed and a 6 speed?

 

Yes. And with about half a dozen other peugeot boxes, or combinations of gearsets.

It works as it spreads the same gearing over 5 gearchanges instead of 4.
The GTi6 box was, and still is a gimmick. The car never needed 6 gears, and is consistently slower and more difficult to drive with the 6 speeder fitted.

Just for clarity - top speed is about equal
- acceleration is quicker with 5 speeder
and lap times are quicker with 5 speeder

 

Well i got a XSi which is the same as a gti6 but with different cam's and i fucked my 5 speed box so i put a 6 box in it and it drives so much nicer and it is alot quicker gettin to 100 and over 100 so i dont see how you justify that, but anyway, its a lovely day

 

Surely the 6 speed would have shorter gears, so in theory should accelerate quicker?

 

Yes they do, the 6th gear is the same as what my 5th gear was!

 

Ah you didnt say on the phone! Looks loverly mate. Glad you found a nice China. You think we should start a club up? pmsl.

 

shorter gears covering the same ratio. So you need an extra gear change to accelerate at the same rate. so its slower. look up xsara vts and gti 6 stats. same engine, different box.

 

different inlet manifold, exhaust manifold, compression ratio, pistons, cams, ecu.

And its only quicker to 100 in your head

i can dig out the ratios and use science to prove its not quicker to 100, but only when i'm at work 2mrw coz i cant be arsed on my own time

 

spot on!

 

the thing is with higher ratio boxes is they allow the engine to pull,

ive recently changed the ratios in my box for a longer overall gearing and off the mark its not as quick but when your changing into second on the old one the new box is still pulling hard, and its the same all the way up,

also the time taken for an extra gearchange hinders the 6 speed,

just what i think ive never driven a peugeot lol

jim

 

No need to worry now, as i have got myself a Gti 6 too now

 

I bought one of these aswell a couple of weeks back



Goes and handles well alright, and sound the tits with the full exhaust and massive induction kit mine has. Reminds me of the noise Golf VR6's make with an induction kit, a proper roar.

Probably going to get rid of mine soon as miss RWD and turbo power now ive had a few 200sx's.

 

Cool cars, you keeping it comfy as a backup or going stripped and caged with it?

 

this is my day to day car, that i "could" use as a track car

i took the exhaust off as it was a little louder than i wanted so it's quiet now,

though the engine noise is quite nice on these, so never going to be a quiet car

 

Oooooh!

Thats looking good mate, I think this is the "Bedford" car

 

yip for sure

this has roughly the same power as my 205, just heavier, so will have to go on a diet a week before beford..lol

and the pads and tyres bolt on so will be fun

 

You can certainly tell when they come on cam cant you

I have done a few things to mine already, Put the gti6 badges down the side, added the genuine front splitter and changed the number plates Just got to give it a bloody good clean now

 

mine just needs two front struts and a MOP


and a petrol station to follow me around

 

I might know of sumone that might have some struts, want me to ask?

Mine isnt that bad on fuel at all, i got it monday so its had a little thrash here and there to see what it can do and so i can hear the air filter suck but i still got 300 miles out of my tank and the fuel light isnt on yet! I only used to get 350 out of my xsi

 

on a run i get 400 out of a tank

day to day, town driving i get 330'ish?

worst i think i got was around 270.

yeah it loves to suck

 

Thats not bad at all, i was lucky to get 400 out of my Xsi!

Ill have to put in a fresh tank and see how many miles i get out of it driving it nicely

We should ask the mods for a peugeot section

 

You've gone all executive

 

Love china blue 306's
