Hey guys Thought I'd put up a project thread for my Coupe since I took a few photos while I was out yesterday.
I swapped my S16 for a 3L V6 plus some cash my way. It's got the newer D9 engine, running 210bhp, but is still just inside the lower tax bracket so even though it's a 3L I'm still paying the same tax as on the S16. It's got 53k on the clock and is in pretty good condition overall. There are a couple of scratches here and there and a dent but then again it's 10 years old and I wasn't expecting it to be perfect.
Anyway, a couple of photos:
It's not the colour I'd have chosen if I was looking for one, I'd have gotten black, red or satellite grey which is similar to astor and looks awesome.
So far it's been lowered around 20mm and has a powerflow exhaust. I'm going to replace the rear bootlock as being a Peugeot it's ****ed Also plan to get a decent induction set up for extra bwarp and also some 17s as the 16s look too small on here and also the tyre size is shit so tyre options are limited and also expensive!

I've not had as much time to come on here lately (crazy busy at work, and just got back off holiday ), and not had any time at all to work on the car. I'm going to be needing some new tyres soon, and since I've already got a set of Speedline Turinis with Eagle F1 tyres on in direct 306 fitment, I thought I'd see how they fitted on the coupe as it's also 4x108. I know the tyres are too small, since standard are 215/65/16s (worst tyre size ever), but I'm not fussed about the speedo readings etc for now.
The only problem with the V6 is that being designed by French people they didn't do anything that a normal person would do, or that would make it easy for someone to buy parts other than those made/supplied by Peugeot. With an offest of ET13, it's a pain in the arse to find another set of wheels which will fit, sometimes even with spacers. The Turinis are ET18, so in theory I should be using some 5mm spacers, but you can't get 5mm hubcentric spacers, and I don't want to be spending money on the car right now.
Any thoughts on the clearance with no spacers?
It's between 1-1.5mm
