"(Soon to be Peugeot V8 Brakes)"

I wonder which model he is going to get those from? Should be interesting to see at the Salon anyway.....

How mad is that, would have cost the guy a fortune, give him credit though, i am really impressed with that.

Also love his "diss-likeing" to the lancer brigade out there.

OMG that guy beat me to it...damn you.lol
Bloody nice 306 though i gotta email that guy see what else hes done.

Glad too see sumone has gone nuts on their 306 instead of sum stupid Lancer or Honda...makes me wanna go all the way to Adelaide just to see his car now :)
 
I have seen it in Adelaide but dont who drives its got neon window washers though and it sounds a treat!!!
 
Wonder where he did the 12.8 second 1/4?

Would a car like this get me laid?

Looks to me like a 8v.

hahah 8V i wouldn't touch that motor with a 10 foot pole. I wanted to turbo my 8V but it wasn't worth it.
I wanted a good base motor to start with if i ever turboed the pug and a GTi6 motor is the best base i can think of :)

Oh and as for that 12.8 Me no think so....the car isn't even finished yet. Maybe thats his estimated ET but i doubt it.
Alot of my friends have turbo converted FWD cars and his car should be mid 14-high 13 ET. Still bloody good though :)

Hell my friend has a Mitsu Cyborg R 950kg with a GSR 135kw Turbo motor in it with close ratio box. His best ET was a 14.5 on street tyres
 
Ever tried getting a 5.1 second 0-60 outta a front wheel drive car with no traction control? Lots of smoke, not much go.

Brad,

It certainly does, and the 1.8l 8v at that. I've seen the 2L 8v XSi engine (courtesy of member SW) and that is not it. I guess the 8v has (relatively) lower compression than most of the other Pug motors which would make it more appealing to turbocharge :D

Derek.
 
Wasn't it someone wise in here who said 8v performance ends where 16v starts?
 
Looking at it again... the headlights are N5 headlights (single unit lights and indicators) so maybe it's a 1.8l 16v engine? I've never had a close look at one of those.

Someone should e-mail the guy and get him on Aussiefrogs to tell us about it :)

Derek.
 
The penny drops.

It's an N5 but it was once an auto, so yeah it would have the old 8valve.

I guess this guy must be loaded to justify spending money on that engine.
 
Latest from the website. Please refrain from laughing your head off.....*snigger*

************************************

NOTICE TO EVERYONE IN AUSTRALIA, AND MOSTLY ADELAIDE........

WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT GO TO RPM PERFORMANCE CENTRE, IN ADELAIDE!!! THEY ARE THE WORST, CRIMINALS IN THE CAR INTUSTRY. AL WORK I HAD DNE BY THEM
1. THE LABOUR WAS TRIPLE CHARGED!!
2. ALL WORK HAD TO BE REDONE BY OTHER PERFORMANCE SHOPS
3. TOOK THEM 4 MONTHS TO ******* FIT A TURBO!
4. SCRATCHED AND DENTED MY CAR
5. ****ED UP A WHEEL, THEN SAID IT WAS "GOOD AS NEW" WHEN ALL THEY DID WAS FILL IT WITH WAS AND REPAINT IT (NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE ORIGIONAL COLOUR)
6. PARKED MY CAR A STREET AWAY NORMALLY, WHERE IT COULD BE BROKEN INTO.
7. TOOK IT FOR JOY RIDES
8. ARE COMPLETE IDIOTS WHO CANT TUNE NEW ENGINE MANAGEMENT FOR SHIT!
9. WROTE ME A QUOTE, THEN DOUBLED IT, THEN DOUBLED IT AGAIN AFTER THE WORK WAS FINISHED.
10. BLEW MY COIL PACK, TURBO AND VARIOUS OTHER ITEMS, THEN TOLD ME TO PAY FOR NEW ONES
11. NEED I SAY MORE?

RPM PERFORMANCE, IN ADELAIDE, IS THE BIGGEST SHIT HOLE (MOST PROBBABLY BECAUSE OF THE NEW OWNER) AND I WARN EVERYONE NEVER TO GO NEAR THERE, IF U LOVE YOUR CAR AND MONEY, COZ THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO DEPRIVE YOU OF BOTH OF THESE IF U GIVE THEM THE CHANCE!!!

Sounds like a pretty good excuse for not being able to demonstrate the rather generous performance claims of the vehicle....

Or is the 0-60 time of 5.1 secs supposed to be 0-60km/h?
 
damn thats no good to hear. Just taking a look at that engine bay my god everything is custom. It must of cost him a fortune for that. Look at the turbo position...that manifold would be a b1tch to make :(

Is there that little room behind the 306 engine? Must be a tight fit if he mounted the turbo to the side.
