Well, apparently I cant do fmic conversion, or even a cold air intake. Norway has volunteered to see how EU's new MOT rules will work. Think we are the only country that adapted the new rules, and we arent even members of the EU 
One of these new rules are that they have to look for mods made to increase HP. Which an fmic and a cold air intake ofc in their eyes are there for.
The way around this is to get the car approved with these mods with the road authority. And to do that, you either need papers proving that the mods do not increase HP, or papers from peugeot that says the car can take the improvement(Which then also will have to include bigger breaks etc).
Stage 1 is ok, because power can vary 15% from stock, without the need to get things approved.
No one has the equipment to dyno the car, and very few will actually read an ecu to see if it has been mapped. But they will be looking for obvious engine room mods.
But I guess most of this is OK at the time being anyways. Need to sort the rear beam, as I can hear a knock from it from time to time going over bumps.(will get a new one in January)
That will set me back about 500£ for a refurbished one. And this is just the beam, it does not come with brakes on it. Probably have to do something to my old ones as well. Are all the beams the same? If I want to convert to rear discs, will any beam fit?

And also drop links and track rods needs to be done at some point. Front right tire is a bit unevenly worn.
Might not be worth using that much time and money on this car. But this car is going to be my learning to do stuff your self car. Always done easy fixes on previous cars like ball joints etc. But I want to learn more, it is rewarding to fix everything yourself.
This is not really a project thread, more of a blog
