a full stainless system for £100
cage for £300
buckets and frames for £260
braided brake lines £45
an induction kit £15
Corsica wheel and boss £45

And then all your servicing bits. Sorted!

thats the best idea ever! But unfortunately I dont really need one car never mind justifying paying for a second one.

The price has gone up to 24 since I last bought it but that's still a good deal compared to most 5W-40 synthetic oils, let alone the precisely correct one. As for the oil filter you can get genuine ones on ebay sometimes (forgot the part number), or directly from your local peugeot dealership, but any decent quality oil filter that is for this engine should be okay with regular oil changes etc. I use OEM filters personally but I'd be comfortable using good quality alternatives.

BKR6EK is the NGK spark plug for this engine, and this is commonly found on ebay, at car parts stores, the internet in general or in halfords if you want to strip your wallet of weight to make your gti-6 even faster. They are very inexpensive and they work fine, if you change your spark plugs at sensible intervals there's no need for super iridium whatevers. They do not make the car run any better nor make any more power, despite the many claims to the contrary on the internet by people who have difficulty spelling, they do cost more though.

Uniroyal Rainsport 3 36 pounds per corner from camskill...these are in 50 profile and not 55 so have a slightly smaller diameter than OEM, but this makes them extremely cheap for what they are. They are not the best tyres out there, but they are GREAT at this price if you want to get good tyres without blowing the whole budget, they're also ideal for general UK road driving as their wet grip is excellent.

As for gearbox oil, definitely make sure to get the correct BV 75w/80 made by Esso/Total from a peugeot dealer...or somewhere else if you can find the correct one. I bought the correct oil on ebay but that was abroad sadly.

If I think of anything else I'll post that as well. Hope this helps.

Yet again more brilliant information there. :-) will be like a kid at christmas come Saturday when cars failed its mot ordering parts.

Unfortunately the car decided it doesnt want to start. So tomorrow I have to try and get it running asap. Otherwise it will be delaying mot.
