23 and 24 are torsion bars. I'm not sure how they worked but it's quite possible they used a torsion bar that was only maybe 12 inch long on each side. Some F1 cars used small torsion bars instead of coil springs!________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

you'll need a longer and better angled inlet than the longman off the shelf item for them btw.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Can't honestly see them being any better than a standard dome filter really. You also need to consider how loud that is going to be, the induction noise on full chat at 8k rpm is way louder than exhaust noise and you may trip noise meters. I'm going for a carbon intake cover with ducting down to a filter to try and get rid of the noise. Spending £150 on a trackday and been booted off after 3 laps is no fun.________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

There are lots of loud cars out there and Im sure they are louder than they should be?! ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

Ram air doesn't work like that. You want a small intake with a large airbox behind for ram air.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

My understanding of ram air is that you need the maximum surface area you can get to effectively collect more air at speed than the engine can consume, pressure in the airbox should then increase which in turn creates a mild forced induction effect. The air boxes on various "formula" cars have inlet size restricted in the regulations to limit any available advantage  ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |

That will only work at supersonic speeds, I haven't seen any 306's get close to that yet. Although the amount of development time yours has had, it should be close  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

As the edit button is still broken:At subsonic speeds you want the slow the relative airstream down by allowing it to expand into a large airbox, the reduction in relative velocity leads to an increase in static pressure, obviously you still want an intake large enough not to restrict the engine air consumption, but as small as possible compared to the airbox size to maximise the pressure build. As you can imagine, that means you need to be doing some pretty serious speeds to actually get it to make a noticable difference as the engine is pulling the air out of the airbox at a fair velocity too. Even with a bloody good system you'll be lucky to get 5% at 3 figure speeds. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
