NGK are good but I warn you the firing end can drop off and into the internals which happened on my last 6 so I now use long life plugs  ________________________________________ Aka ManstonerAka Clio dumper Aka PrinceofPeugeot Aka Decat raspberrys |

I've seen it before on Youtube and always wondered, the way it pulls in 3rd gear is basically faster than the top of 2nd. Always thought it seemed a bit too quick personally... I've always thought this, seen it a few times. Also unless I have read it wrong, maybe do another test without mucking the gear change up? That could easily explain 0.5 of a second? Aye, tis on the flat! Personally think its nowt special to 60 but after that seems to pull well. My previous car, mk1 172, would hammer it to 60 but by 70-75 my 6 would cruise past lol ________________________________________ 149bhp ATW stripped GTi-6 & B6 Passat TDi daily drive-------------------------------------------------- GTi-6.co.uk - Videos and Pictures |

paper stats give 148 lbft, though they are 5 speed? depends how they deliver that torque too.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Refering back to the start of this post; my 6 feels sluggish. However i did change over the standard box for a KN apollo closed induction system with cold air feed and it seemed to be a lot faster than when i first bought the car. Come to think of it at the same time i had changed the filter i was dealing with a burst top radiator hose, which required me to remove the inlet manifold to get to the sodding hose. While I had the manifold off I cleaned the inlet pipes and throttle body of oil which may have helped i don't know.But now my 6 is feeling sluggish again ever since my cold air pipe fell off (LoL) i've never been able to reproduce that same feeling of acceleration. I'm going to clean my throttle body today and i'll let everyone know if it helped, plus i read it elsewhere in this site that some guy did this and his car felt like new so it's worth a shot. |

I think P45 HRM has had plugs fairly recently, they'll have been NGK ones as that's the manufacturer my dads company get them from and nearly all parts came from him.Was always buying a bit here and a bit there.......trade price, can't beat it!  ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

Depends on the make of the tyre. Wheelspin, clutch bite, transmission drag, brake pad touching slightly etc etc - there are so many factors that make a difference that its pointless imoI would say that most standard impreza turbo 2000s are fair game once rolling, mostly because they are probably not running 100% anyway! Petrol is bloody expensive these days too  I met a few clios, some were quicker, some weren't. Oh well there we go. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

In my experience, the "quickest" '6's appear to be those that have 130,000+ miles on them.  I'm not sure of the reason why, but I've always put it down to the fact the engine has 'loosened up'. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
