Im really happy with my current XSI (1998 phase 2). Its exterior is complete and everything is perfect i love it!only problem is the engine is coming up to 130k. Been thinking about a GTI6 conversion for a while now. I presume i would need Engine loom gearbox clutch brakes is there anything else i would need? How hard of a job is it? Thanks |

steering rack, gear lever, gear lever rod, reverse cable.heater pipes, heater pipes heatshield. master cylinder. radiator, water pipes if not inc with engine. ECU transponder unit + key chip. 130k is no problem for these engines. I'd say take the shiny shit of return it to standard and flog it on, then just buy a 6. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

because the gti6 box is longer, the gti6 rack stops the tyre from hitting the box.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I'm sorry, but I just don't understand the mentality of some people.For half the time, money and effort you can buy a black GTi6 and exhange the majority of the aesthetic parts that you like from your XSI. Why go through all the ball ache and costs to convert a lesser model when it's cheaper to buy the real deal?  ________________________________________ Racing driver, fighter pilot, astronaut, compulsive liar. |

And on top of that there's not many 306s left in as good condition as mine. So unless there's mint phase 3 6s around with the mods mine has for less than ________________________________________ '01 Astor Grey GTi6'99 Cherry Rallye |

if you got it cheap and its mint as you say you can sell for a profit, take all your favourite mods off before you sell it, and get a good 6, there's plenty out there.also you'll pay a lot less insurance on a stock 6 than a modified xs. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

It's c.a.r.'s old XS, so I assume he got the asking price for it as you quoted the figure above.For ________________________________________ Racing driver, fighter pilot, astronaut, compulsive liar. |

I agree with you there but this is already my 3rd 306 so don't want to go buying another ________________________________________ '01 Astor Grey GTi6'99 Cherry Rallye |

We are only trying to help mate. TBH if you convert it, you will lose money on it big time as it isn't a true 6, no matter what you change. You (and your wallet) will most likely regret it in the long run, and wish you just got an acctual GTi6.________________________________________ Racing driver, fighter pilot, astronaut, compulsive liar. |

Go for it! Don't bother with the gearbox, read the thread on xu7 conversion and realise the best way to a quick 306 may not be a 6 at all!! :getsflakjacketand flameproofunderwearsmiley:________________________________________ New Forum same high quality intellectual debate!Team Zimmer™ |

i did the conversion 5-6 years ago on my xsi only because it was cheaper for me to do that than buy a genuine 6 but as said above i dont see the pointif your doing it though and going down the whole transponder swap route make sure its a full set from the same phase, i fitted a phase 2 engine to a phase 3 car and had head work, ended going for an unlocked/opened ecu and cutting the transponer wires on the engine loom ________________________________________ All South Wales Members Click HereTeam Supercharged Black RALLYE ™ (Click Here for Build Project) MY EBAY ITEMS 07943066306 |
