As for how much I've spent Carl, my current '6' owes me around £60,000 including buying it...  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

how can it cost 60k! surely 10k buys you a high boost conversion, and a full set of suspension mods.________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I thought that would raise a few eyebrows....It wouldn't have cost that much if I had gone straight for the engine setup I have now, but I went through the supercharger stages, starting off with low boost then high boost and now super high boost, so each conversion obviously adds up the cost. As well as that, I've had loads of paintwork done over the years, wheels, suspension, brake upgrades, onboard camera fitted, personalised plate, different headlights, exhaust systems etc It is surprising how much you can spend, it adds up pretty quick! ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
