Hi - I just registered after seeing this site linked from my mechanic's website (Greg Kent - http://www.peugeotmechanic.co.nz/), just wanted to take a look and see what people are up to with your vehicles :-)

I've previously been a Toyota owner (couple of SW20 MR2's and an ST205 Celica GT-Four), so am really only familiar with the 3SGTE engine.  I bought my 2001 306 GTI6 last year, and am loving it!  Great combination of chassis, suspension, engine and gearbox.. it's really fun to throw through corners (in a completely safe and legal fashion!).  I'm wanting to learn more about the car, and perhaps even a wee modification or two to get just a little more power out of it.. nothing too serious though (although I can't help but wonder what it'd be like with a supercharger..).

Cheers,
Paul

Couple of pics of the Mademoiselle.  Apparently the cambelt has one more tooth than previous models, so am currently waiting for one to come in from the UK!

The 6's are taking over!....  8)

Check out 306gti6.com if you haven't already, heaps of good stuff there and plenty of SC conversions (actually I don't know what you can see for free these days there)

Just as an fyi you can (and people recommend) fit the earlier belt(one less tooth) and tensioner as the earlier tensioner is metal (later one is plastic) and supposedly more robust.

Haha, today someone asked me if the Pug was a company vehicle.  I laughed - I love her, but having a French car as a company vehicle would just be irresponsible  :)

I had a guy ask if my 205GTI was a company car, and another ask if it was a Holden Barina.

Watch your speed - It's virtually impossible to pick it out of the carpet if it gets blown off the table.

Wow, that's VERY tidy and not a common colour either. I have the gold (blaze yellow) version.  :)

I've seen a few ordinary 306s in this colour, but can't say I've seen a GTi-6 though. It looks awesome :)
