best off having a search in each are of the general routes that people take with regards to engines and suspension etc, you'll get a picture of what the general consensus is at certain breaks in the price of things.as its a 16v xsi most of the tuning options are identical to the gti6, the gains you'll get over a standard engine will be higher than the same mods to a gti6, depending on what you go for of course, I mean in the way of cams bodies or even boost. I would avoid anything cheap myself, dampers I would spend around 400 on, coilovers I'd save up to about ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

There is a huge amount of info on here, and a lot of cars have been made track ready. The search function in the top right corner of the page will get you a lot of info to work on.Look at Replacing bushes Bilstein dampers B4/B6 are good Some Eiback 35mm drop springs Lower back beam by 35mm - lots of fun Xsara/205 dampers on the back Uprated Tortion bars Hybrid rear ARB Solid rear mounts if you dont like the standard ones. Uprated brake pads, or a big brake conversion Toyo 888 tyres ________________________________________ Spanner Monkeys Monkey SpannerForum Search Clicky |

If your lift off oversteer is excessive, its usually down to old rear beam mounts allowing too much movement. You can reduce it by replacing them with new standard mounts or you can opt for solid, both will retain the lift off oversteer characteristic to a greater or lesser degree but you will have much more control and in time may learn to use it to your advantage to cancel out the inherant understeer found on most front drivers.  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

thank you so much. that was pretty much the answers i was looking for.dont worry i am using the search button. so far my list of jobs to do is -: bilstein shocks with eibach springs all round uprated droplinks hybrid arb solid rear beam mounts 21mm torsion bar ive also got ferodo ds2500 with uprated fluid, eiher dot5.1 or ate super blue. oh, the tyres on there are awful. so they are also on the list. and thank you for the first responce ive been trying to find weather the engines and brakes are the same. and i just havent been able to find it anywhere. but your reply makes me think that the bsic engines are the same. so if i swapped say manifolds, cams and map. id have the 170bhp like the rest of you. and using the search button i think i can bolt gti-6 calipers on then use the entire brake set up? again, thanks for all the answers. its really helped me. |
