Some of you might no about me new car, i got it this morning and its sooooo fast compared to the corsa

its in a colour called burnt orange, and i think it stands out very well



car features, Climate Control, Central Locking, Leather Seats, Electric Windows, Power Steering, Tilt Steering Wheel
Alloy Wheels, Rear Spoiler, Airbag Driver, Airbag Passenger, Airbag Side, Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), Immobiliser, Alarm, so there is lots of little gadgets to play with, lol

its a 2.0l and has 137bhp

more pics coming soon, gna start me mods next week already

I actually had a nose at this car yesterday when me n me mate went to that car sales place to look at a Vectra.

Its sweet as fook, mint condition, good buy matey!

I bet its a different world from ya Corsa lol!

its immaculate mate, very well looked after, very very fast compared with the corsa, going from a 1.2 to a 2.0 is a massive difference and you can really notice the power, the gti got some pulling power i tell ya

made up with it, gna miss me corsa though

Yer, the Corsa has 73bhp (at standard of course) so ya have virtually doubled ya power overnight haha!

Nice one!

Looks Great mate,
Gald you happy as i would imagine it wanst the easiest
decision to find a car to replace the Corsa

Looks Really Nice
Good choice.

looks like an immaculate example, whats the plans? and whats the performance figures out of the box?

scoop- plans are colour coding, lowered 30mm, and some gti 180 alloys sprayed in anthrite or black, not really doing anything else to it, been there with the corsa

nice little sleeper, hehe, i think the 0-60 is 7.5 seconds, but dont quote me on that

these are the wheels im am going to buy

thats such a nice car, itd look really nice with them alloys on it if you lowered it more thatn 30mm i reckon. nice smooth euro style look.

Verynice matty son verynice.

Bring it down the garage today n i'll get some photo's for you.

Woot crnt w8 to see this, sounds like a realli nice car and 10x faster then the corsa. I'll Prob see ye flying around mine now an then lol.

An hope ye get some pics of it soon.

How could go from a Vauxhall to a Peugeot.

sorry mate, i loved the corsa and it was an amazing car, but 140bhp was to much to resist, lol

...and he's half French hehe.

Had a blast of this before, very quick and its a smooth ride, can also be very economical on the old juice if you drive it nicely..quite hard not to do that though..!

Will miss the Corsa matey, but this will so replace that! Made up for you mate, nice early xmas prezzie lol!

glad you enjoyed it mate, its eating the petty like, lol, ah well its worth it, cnt wait to start the mods, will be nice to have a new project

The insurance on that you could of had a Vauxhall Astra 2.2 SRi or a 2.0 Turbo SRi.

Well its your car now, how you HATE it and want a Vauxhall again.

Enjoy. sorry.

Leave the poor lad alone u big meany , there are too many vauxhalls around its time for a change.

been to automotion today to start the mods, its goin in on monday for its colour coding, and im going to de-badge it tomorrow

then hopefully get my lowering springs before xmas and slam it down

ive also looked at a gti 180 exhaust, its not a performace box and it comes standard on the 180, so it will still be very quiet

Lol, I think you did right getting the 206. How anyone could want a common as muck Asta SRi as opposed to a considerably rare 206 GTI, I dunno.

I know which one id rather have hehe!

looks good matey don't like the colour that much but its still a nice car. u gona put a body kit on it like u did with the corsa?

nope mate, im staying away from the bodykits this time, just gona get me colour coding done, it looks pretty nice as it is anyway

speaking of fitting 206 180 bits, whats the difference between the 137 and 180 engines? how much would it cost to get ur engine to 180 brake? is it just a different head and ECU map? or are the pistons mega high compression jobbies?

I should have though uprated valves might feature too?

i dnt really no scoop, im goin to research it, i wouldnt mind getting a bit more power out of mine, lol

automotion 2moz

Grabbed that one from the oulton park gallery for you

by "different head" i meant,bigger port,bigger valves,better springs,hotter cams (maybe even some kind of VVT) but i dont know nowt about pugs and citroens so for all i know it could be an entirely different engine with the block being externally and internally different,but who knows eh?????

cheers for the pic webby mate, hopefully get some pics up this week

i don't think the vvt is on a pug, maybe just a different manifold setup, different map, revised airbox, raised rev limit, etc

Specification's of both engines are here:

206GTi 180 - its actually 174bhp, the french take the 177ps rating and round it up to 180.

206GTi 134

It doesnt seem to list much difference though, different fuel system and compression ratio etc... Either way though its certainly the same engine.

Hope that is of some help.

got the car back today from automotion, they did a great job, looks alot better

heres some pics of the car when all the trims were removed






only got one pic so far as it was getting dark, i also removed the badges, looks smooth

right cant really say alot has happened yet, im removing the spare wheel 2morra which is located under the car which has gone all rusty

the mods sart in the spring, so it will be the lowering springs first

ps, does anyone no if ford and peugeot are the same wheel fitment, its just i like a certain style of ford wheels which i would like sprayed in black

Some pug wheels fit fords matty but i dont think it works the other way rnd matey sorry.

I might be wrong though i had 205 wheels on my m2 xr2 for a while.

im lookin at the mondeo st24 alloys, kinda like ninja stars

here they are, help plz, any ideas if these will fit

iirc they will need spacers to fit as the offsets differ.

why not get the nimrod alloys?

Peugeot - 4x108, Offset 20 to 25, Bore 65.1

Mondeo - 4x108, Offset 35 to 42, Bore 63.4

So as mentioned, will prolly need 10-15mm spacers and maybe the center hole boring out a few mm...

10-15mm of spacers will need longer hub studs and will more than likely kill ur wheel bearings pretty sharpsh, the centre bore may need boring out aswell. I like those wheels aswell matty and it was a toss up between them and the cossie-esque wheels ive bought

coz the nimrods are boring, and i want something different to other 206`s

cheers stuy and scoop 4 the info

snowy pics

some fresh pics, removed the spare wheel now so thers lots of room to play with under the car, also gave it a splingin with some maguiars

ooooooooh looks nice and shiny mate, sweet !!

robbed a box of Auto Gleeeeeeemmmm

Only saw this yesterday, but looks and sounds amazing

thats getting sorted next week mate, will look much better then

get this updated you lazy shit lol

well where do i start, camera was out today so pics speak for themselves, haha

smoothed bonnet, bonnet and roof resprayed in gloss black, new headlights fitted and finally got the torsion bar lowered, currently at 60mm on the rear an 30mm on the front, which will be altered next week to match the rear

comments welcome as usual

Wow i really like this car, also your piccys are super clear!

great looking car... altho i would have painted the whole of the bonnet and also the boot & rear spoiler but that's just personal preference i guess lol... them lights look class too

that looks sweet mate love the black on it now looks stunning

about time you got pics of this nail up matey.

Looks verynice just need them performance mods on now.

i do indeed mate, ill post some pics up soon of them

are you going to change the colour of the calpers? would look good black.

Nice car looks good.

pug power rules, only coz it french like me!!!! chip it!!!!! no replys about me having a beamer please, french is cool, vauxhall is not, sorry they look nice but i cant get comfy in them, any of them, well maybe the old mark 2 astra but thats about it!!

UPDATE::::

havnt posted in a while so i thought i would share how the car is looking, with my new addition






think im going to get it sprayed orange though come the summer, also got more goodies lined up, including strut brace, de-cat and stainless steel manifold, plus new 55mm front lowering springs all to get fitted

enjoy dudes

sounds like a nice project - u must be minted haha! - keep us updated when u get the rest done, comin along great mate!

Lookin good mate

looking good mate keep it up

powder coted would be a good idea?

get a real cage you puff

Looks good matty cars come along way.

wouldnt want to remove my comfy seats mate

ive gota change the exhaust soon, i hate it so much, only thing spoiling the car

looks gud, but if you decide to get it painted it may need a special etching primer as paint tends not to hold to well to alluminium Or like some one else said powder coated maybe gloss black. Birkenhead powder coatings are reasonable and do a good job.

Another month another mod, wind deflectors are the latest edition

enjoy

Coming on nicely matey.

My only other comment would be to lose the show cage, IMO they look uber

Not only that, but due to the way they fit and the way they are made, I remember someone from another site crashing with one in their car. Had the "show cage" not have been fitted, he would have walked away, but it bent and buckled in such a way it fractured his skull in the accident - just what you want from a "cage" eh

viva la French plates!!! comments welcome as usual.

fine FINE FINE comming up

Well might be a a fine anyways not sure lol

errr, isn't it registered in the UK and on UK plates? looks neat tho.
Saw you the other day on clatterbrige roundabout (me: silver celica)

Plates look smart mate, but I can see you getting a nice £30 fine for them
