Hi there, and welcome LOL, I'm a new user on these forums.

I'm from Finland (so sorry for my bad english) and this is a car I've owned for the past 10 years.

The car started it's life as a ph1 Bleu Sigma XSi 8v. It's has had "some things" done to it after since so I'm not going through them all so here is a little list of things done.

Engine
-306 S16 '94 full engine with K&N 57i -induction kit
-Peugeot Sport S16 GrpN engine&gearbox mounts

Gearbox
-306 S16 '94 BE3 gearbox with Griffits Engineering quickshift kit, moving over soon from the way of a GTI-6 BE3/6

Exterior
-Front lights and grill upgraded to ph1.5 (the yellow H1+H1 lights made way for brand new H7+H1, 1995 spec lights)
-Painted over in the original colour by a professional at a body shop
-added subtle rear spoiler, removed the original rubber one

Suspension and brakes
-Peugeot Sport S16 GrpN: front wishbones, rear torsion bars 23.5mm, rear beam mounts
-KW Variante 2 coilovers (height and rebound adjustable) + rebound adjustable yellow Koni Sport at rear
-lowered around 50-60mm, not sure about the precise measurements but it looks good and is still good to drive
-GTI-6 283mm front brakes, rear original 247mm discs
-no abs
-16" OZ Racing Superturismo GT Black+205/45R16 tyres

Interior
-ph3 GTI-6 half-leather seats, door cards from the same car with full ph3 electrics, centre console
-blue XSi floor lining
-S16 leather steering wheel
-S16 instrument cluster

So it's a bit S16 and a bit GTi-6, nothing much left from the XSi days.. I use it on nice summer days and take it out to trackdays. The car was at my local Peugeot club stand at a big car show on Easter.

There is a picture of the, still sporting my old 17" rims. Got the 16" OZs a while ago. This summer will bring some new modifications, I'm adding air conditioning from a torn down GTI-6 so it will be nice and cool on hot summer days and upgrading the engine to a one built with 405 T16 parts and with GT2860RS turbocharger.

Some other cars I own, like stated at my signature, are a 405 Mi16/D6C 160hp '89 with small mods and the totally original condition 605 SV24 ZPJ4/3.0 24v V6 with 200hp, which is only there for to enjoy rarely.

As a dailydriver I have a 2008 Audi A3 Sportback 1.8 TFSI w/ Superchips Bluefin mod and H&R Springs.

I'll keep you updated and later I will add some more pictures of the car. The idea of the car is for it to look good and be heck of fun when slamming it around the track.

Nah, I like it this way, I still want to drive it around in comfort because it's like only a fistful of trackdays I'm going to attend anyway. When on the track, I always drive the car to it's absolute limit. It's not like it's the quietest car at the moment, forgot to mention about the straight middle pipe and the supersprint magnum backbox. Those, compiled with the 57i kit and stiff engine mounts = one noisy car. It has the best parts of both "worlds". A bit of luxury on the inside and some serious suspension components to get everything out it. Yeah, I could get some seconds of my track records with some weight reduction but I think I'll just add some power to compensate Big grin

But never say never, I have owned the car for 10 years now and I'm always working on something with it, smaller or bigger. I've been thinking about the maxi bodykit after the turbo engine conversion.. Somewhere in the future.. far far away.. Smile

Welcome sounds like a tasty car.

So yet another S16 turbo, are these a better engine than the RFS to carry out a turbo conversion on? Dunno

Looking forward to some pics Yes

Yeah, think about it. And using those 200hp to make the car move. It has limited slip differential (and is a fwd car of course) as standard it's really quite something (I think it's the only fwd peugeot to have one from the factory). It's a bit thirsty too Big grin The 605 I mean.

The 306 has ph3 center console fitted afterwards that pic, and ditched that heavyweight and ice cold gear knob and went back to standard..
