We have to go to a technical inspection every year (i think that's MOT in the UK?)
so the only 'performance related' things that may be changed is a replacement air filter and a sport exhaust with the necessary certificates (such as a devil/supersprint)
We aren't allowed to place better brakes(e.g. 406coup

Gti 6 exhaust manifold is a definite improvement and the cylinder head from a 2.0 litre 16v has better porting. The inlet manifold is another improvement but obvious as soon as you open the bonnet. Dixons race car is a 1.8 and has mega power. The 6 gearbox has little benefit on the 1.8. Good luck and welcome.

hmmm I seem to have forgotten to update this thread a lot has changed since my first post..

well, in April some prick with a van decided to drive through the red light, resulting in me trying to avoid him but it was too late, so hit hit with the right-front-side and got dragged with him several feet, due to being stuck underneath his rear wheels..

internal damage was far worse than it looks like...

decided to make the car like new, and got this after 3 months:



a detailpic of the colour, lets call it 'Astor with a twist'

we also used a special type of varnish which makes the paint virtually scratch-resistant.

Then for the winter I got myself a mint set of cyclones, fitted with 4 P6000 ditchfinders (seemed a good idea at the time )
Luckily I got them for a bargain price.


Also found a set of these:

for next summer (but they'll get a refurb first)

And the last bit for the moment, I'm currently working on a 6 exhaust manifold:



(hopefully not missing anything out here...)

This is going to be combined with a devil decat, devil centre section and devil backbox (2.5" if I'm not mistaken)

And pray that I wont get any problems with the decat and the fact I have 2 lambdas

also good job on making it mint again.

the lions? or the catalunya's?

assuming you mean the lions, just of some guy who didn't know how rare these are, so got them for a sweeeeet price (less than 300)

Jammy Git indeed did you sell the other wheels in the top pics, what are they... ?

I think five sets is just greedy, and you should sell them to me

Nice work fella - car looks lovely!

thanks!

and the badge, thats a story on it's own..

With the car getting a full respray, I had to look out for new badges (because I love these), the local garage said: contact peugeot belgium, they said: not available anymore, contacted peugeot france: 'only made in limited amount, none in stock anymore' so I was well gutted.

Finally agreed with my bodyshop to integrate my badges in the paint (luckily the badges had NO damage) and he did a VERY fine job on that:
