after being unable to find a good KA sport without paying a daft price I think a 206 gti 180 might be a good option for now.

some very nice 2004 models for £4-£4.5k

anyone opinions of either - only for a bit of summer fun

 

Them 206 180's are rapid wee cars!! Dont think the sportka even looks at it performance wise

 

The SportKa is only 94bhp / 99 lb ft (0-62mph: 9.7sec / 108mph) where the Pug 206 is 180bhp. Cant comair the two realy.

Andy

 

is that all the sport ka is? christ what a sheep in wolfs clothing

 

Yeah, 1.6 8v's!

 

them pugs any good though, seem to be riddled with electrical issues from experience, admittedly not the gti, but more boggo models.

 

I worked for Peugeot for a year n a half. Lots of electrical problems with 206's but strangely enough, not really with GTI's. Weird.

They do suffer from the comms unit packing in. Really all it does is when you indicate then turn into a corner it doesnt cancel, instead it cancels then indicates in the opposite direction. Im sure you would get used to cancelling it manually after a while. Replacement units are about £230 fitted IIRC.

I had a girl in once who went from a 206 GTi to a 206 GTi 180. her complaint was that her GTi did 132mph but her GTi 180 only did 122
Imagine actually complaining about that. Eh wait till i phone the police love so you can tell him

 

i had a gti180 loved evry minute i had it mapped and tuned ran 230bhp miss it every day agean blue tints full sp kit clear rears morrets on the front want it back now only grip is how much i lost when i sold it on

 

Ive noticed this Pattern with Peugeot the buggo models seem to fall apart.
The Gti's seem to last.

 

Aegean Blue. Best colour to get IMO

 

those 206 gti does look good even now years on.

 

The shape of the 206 in general still looks modern, even though its 11 years old now!! I still remember the advert with Lenny Kravitz singing

thanks for the replies - lets hope I can find a nice one, need to reacquaint myself on the peugeot forums

thanks David

 

I'd have KA anyday. Much better to drive despite the power deficit.

Them 206's are PROPER shit!

 

wrong, you mean 182

 

you gained 50bhp on a N/A car by having it mapped and tuned?

 

mate i had a 206 gti track car (check my album)
the 180s arnt actully 180bhp there 150bhp lol
and a remap, cams, full exhaust and TBs will see 210bhp MAX
oh and by the way any more and the cranks like to let go in a big way

i wouldn't go back to your4 tuner again lol

 

& the one with the elephant being used to shape one from another car.

Andy

 

Yeah I know. The Ka needs to be about 115bhp minimum. Till I saw the spec of them, I thought that they would have been more than 94bhp and better than a 8v. Even the hot Fiat Panda has 100bhp.

Andy

 

they were well overpriced as new too - full spec and £12k - all reports always said - good car, could do with a bit more power for the excellent chassis - but too expensive when compared to the standard KA and other equivalent vehicles.
hence 2nd hand prices are now too high.

its a shame as I always wanted one to put away and bring out from time to time, as I think the KA was a revolution in small car shape when it came out, much as when the Sierra came out being th first rounder car as opposed to square & angular.

but as everybody else I value for money too.



thanks for the replies

 

Them 180's need a remap to get the best out of them. I think they look awful personally, the standard GTi has aged better. I could think of a lot of better cars to buy with that money!

 

Lift off oversteer all the way!!

They do suffer from issues with the VVT

 

mine gti 180 was a demo car and before any mods were added to it it ran 181bhp on the rollers and after id had the mods added pushed 230bhp no problem straight lines are fine corners are not for the faint harted even with TC also mine eat PZERO's like no tomorrow

 

what mods?


my gti6 engine was RR at 174, i'm going for TB's and best i hoping for is 200 with DTA ecu

how the Hell you get 230, as i resally would like to know?

unless you run TB and new pistons and major major head work?

any pics of your old car? i.e. the engine

 

up for a reply

 

been busy sorry it was upgraded cams pistons and full sports cat zorst along with the mappin,and a shot of nos. it was on cruz midz website with pics and full detail's neva took pics of the engine bay as it looks like any other pug engine,

 

and i do think nos is a tunin item so when i said a tuned it meant been added

 

ah, explains it

did you get a RR without nos?

 

no with it fella i should of listed all the mods in my 1st post might of saved a few angry people lol but i liked to keep quite what had been done as it surprised alot of cars

 

firedance orange 206, black wheel and bump strips and carbon bonnet.....

oh wait that was the car i built for the Ex....

Was a lovely looking car, shame she never kept it tidy!

 

The 206's arnt all that quick, i was shocked when my 306 left one!

 

just like my old one i miss it so much

Good fun car but not that quick. To be honest if it was money i would lok at the Clio 172Cup or even 182's. Mate got one for his wife new years back and he rated it as far more fun than his Scooby of the time

 

I would go for a 306 Gti6/rallye, half the price of a 172/182 and will out perform them in every way, straight line, twisties, and will out perform a 206 gti 180 by miles, they are shocking if you try and go round a corner in one!

 

the gti 180 is comfy as well lol

 

That is one thing with the 180, the seats are awsome, but you could always find some and put them on different runners!

 

if you want to spend massive amount for an interior lol
if its just summer fun 205 gti????

 

With a gti6 engine in it!



Its good for 150+ and will go round a track harder that the evo's and scoobys!
