cheap and upgraded performance do not correlate, nothing is cheap!exhausts and filters chips etc are a waste of money, cams you have to be very careful which to use as the standard engine hasn't much valve clearance. biggest bang for buck is a supercharger conversion, plenty of information on here about that, have a search  I#d go throttle bodies myself though  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Nothing comes cheap im afraid and in actual fact since owning an lcr I've realised how cheap Upgrade parts for the 6 actually are!Best thing I done to mine was throw about 1500 quid at the suspension and transmission, was a brilliant drive. Unfortunately I then decided I wanted a turbo and it wasn't cost effective to turbo or supercharge a gti6 at the time. So I sold it, but already decided il own another one eventually. |

Would definitely agree with the suspension argumentsI was on track at Knockhill on Saturday in my Rallye (with hybrid ARB fitted) against a GTI6 which had added Bilstein suspension and he was destroying me through the corners. In fact my friend's R33 GTS-T Skyline running about 300bhp, caged and running slicks was struggling to keep up with the GTI6. I was well impressed. ________________________________________ Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. |

The reason i'm asking is that i recently installed a Bilstein B12 pro-kit on mine and compared to standard it is great. Mind i also use solid rear beam mounts, no thicker tb's or arb. However it is true that the rear still feels a little, how should i put this, sensible. What rear shocks would you recomend then? Thanks in advance |
