New to the forum but not the cars - Philr - 29-01-2015
Evening all, just thought I would post a quick hello as I joined the club yesterday.
I've just purchased a 2000 (W) moonstone HDI Dturbo, it has 106k and nearly full Peugeot service history. it needs a bit of tidying here and there but the engine and body work are sound.
I've also owned:-
1996 (P) Dturbo S in blue (i've regretted selling that one ever since)
2000 (X) HDI Dturbo in blue
There's something about these that keeps bringing me back to them.
My other car is a Mazda RX8 which I also love and last year I carried out a full engine rebuild along with some subtle mods.
I'm now looking forward to seeing what I can do to the 306.
Cheers
Phil

Welcome!
Get some pics up. Will be good to see the RX8 as well. Always had a soft spot for them!
RE: New to the forum but not the cars - Philr - 30-01-2015
Almost a perfect combination, i can't afford the petrol to use the RX8 as a daily drive (20 mpg on a really good day) but it is brilliant to drive.

I like the look at RX-8's but I've never had the chance to go in one, sound good tho! As said, pics or else
RE: New to the forum but not the cars - son of a beesting - 30-01-2015
I like the RX8 it just the fuel consumption that puts me off!
RE: New to the forum but not the cars - 7057sam - 30-01-2015
My mate had 231 which I used for a week
We fitted a toyo YES toyo exhaust which made it sound like a fighter jet and spit flames
also was the easiest thing to drift literally unspinable with traction on

Looks epic. Do love a RX8!
Are them seats half leather half alcantara? If so, did they do them in black like that?
RE: New to the forum but not the cars - Philr - 31-01-2015
The seat are half leather half alcantera they are from one of the special editions (not original to that car), Mazda only made a black version as Recaro's in the latest version (RX8 R3) and they usually sell for around £1000 if you can find them.
There are many colour combinations available in full leather, Black, Red/black, tan/black, yellow/black, stone, a few others in the special editions and a grey/black in cloth.
The engine red lines at 9k and the fuel cut off is at 10k so plenty of revs and there's no vibration just more noise.
I had some mild ports cut on the engine while i had it out and they add a bit of much needed low down torque (4-5K range) which the engine is really lacking in.
Cheers
