as it happens, the gti6 is specified with the same battery as the diesel models anyway, and you wont fit anything bigger in that battery box.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I would still say that was retrofitted tbh, as it's far overspecced for the car. ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

High compression does'nt help much either. Fit the best battery you can afford and avoid cheap unbranded types FTW.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
