306 hdi

Alright Gav and Kenny I see you have meet the non believers.
I will say it again the 16vs I have raced DID beat me to 60mph but I was on his bumper (started off side by side) but round the corners and off the roundabout my diesel pulled better, enough to pass him and stay in front untill we had to brake at 100mph for the next roundabout where the 306 handling left the clio behind. Maybe he did have the balls to push it in the clios are very twitchy from my experience (mate had one).
Twist this all you want but Gav and Kenny would kill stright off with that power sorry.
right...
kenny. group 11 insurance mate
Neil. hi. handling wise. the clio was made for pure handling.. but its how hard your willing to push it... itll go a lot further than u expect.. but to do roundabouts and stuff u do need to get the gearing dead right!! cause its soo boggy under 4000 revs, if the guy didnt then most cars would have it with ease..
for example... my mate had a saxo vtr. we went out and raced of the lights to see the difference between 8v and 16vs.. off the lights he shot off (me thinking "oh poo!") then i hit the power band at 4000 and shot past him like he was standing still!! - still makes me laugh how quick his face dropped as i passed!! - lol
Alright Ben J
That one I raced above. I got off the line by about a cars length 2nd stayed the same but 3rd (bog for some reason, no intercooler I think) he got along side and just got in front when we hit 60. I am talking about 2 feet between the bumpers and it stayed the same through 4th. He might have got the gear wrong coming off the roundabout which gave me my edge and then he couldnt catch me.

Then its wrong!
Because according to the Peugeot technical data I have in front of me...
Power - 120KW (167bhp) @ 6500rpm
Torque - 193Nm (142lb/ft) @ 5500rpm
Looks like you have quoted for the XU10J4R engine, as fitted to model such as the XSi and NOT the XU10J4RS as fitted to the GTi-6.
oh no, def in the future the way foward is gonna be diesel (god i hope not)
with more and more powerful engines coming out. but thats why i like the old school classic hot hatches like ive got and the 205 gti, 5 turbo etc...
b4 this i had a near enough new car, but it was sooo boring and uninspiring i sold it and went old school... now id keep this forever if i could..
My mate in his 172 sent me your spec.

done any more since this.
When you get a company like Lotus saying the way forward is diesel......then you might see the potential.
In the past, diesel has been slow, smelly and dirty. Nowadays, diesels are as clean as anything and a lot faster. Peugeot have already come with a 180bhp diesel that was as fast as the same petrol engined car. The new 207 will have a 180bhp all alloy diesel engine in it. The 150bhp Golf was within a few tenths of the Civic Type-R to 60 and to 100mph. And as Galv said earlier.....theres a 206 in Denmark with 160bhp that did 1/4 mile in 14secs. That quick by any standards.
wicked, i cant wait to get my digi cam!! im gonna use it for everything!! car vids, car pics, pointless videos, home p**n (oops did i say that out loud?) and everything!!
gotta get ben h to go, i wanna see his valver against a 172. craigy172 off ere might go too. ive told him bout it. he aint far from me.
Diesel 306 lol. Never mind eh. 160BHP is possible i guess if you spend an absolute fortune. To be honest even if it did have that much power a valver with a few mods will be pushin out that pretty easy. A 306 is a pretty heavy car though. I think a valver with similar power would be quicker to be honest. whats a 16v weigh? bout 960kG or somethin?
Most engines can be modded to a certain extent. Its like has been mentioned b4.......its how much you have to spend......and how reliable they r.
With the HDI....its quite simple and not that expensive to get the power gains. And still with the power hike....still able to get 60+mpg on a run.
My mate had a Ibiza Tdi on order with the 130 VW engine, cancelled it eventually due to seat delaying. He reckoned he to get up to scooby turbo speeds and still get 50mpg using chipping, i dont know how true but i know you can make these TDs bloody fast. Dont know how the rest of the components hold up tho.
