Right I'm thinking the rallye is underpowered. Drove to leather head met Samass and then went for a drive and I couldn't pull away from xsi. Fair enough I have a few things in the boot, but surley not enough to make me lose 35ish bhp?
Car is running an enclosed induction kit, a Decat and a magnex stainless steel cat back system.
Before I got it (a week ago) it was serviced every 3 months. It does take a couple of seconds longer to start, so could spark plugs be an issue?
Going to give it a proper service at the end of next month. Spark plugs, oil filter, fuel filter, oil. Thinking maybe it has cheap oil in there atm. Would any of that cause an issue?

So many things to look at, what sort of MPG you getting? Any blows in the exhaust system? Cleaned the air filter recently?
How much stuff is in the boot? 20kg?

Haha mark that is exactly what I was saying last night, but it is definatley a '6 engine.
Doesn't seem to have any blows in the exhaust.
Air filter will come off and will be looking to see if it's shit or not lol
Plan is too service it then dyno. Then if it is down then I just don't know, it's only on 114k and only done 10k in the last 3 years. Think it's been tracked and the engine is tired

Mines a 3dr with a inlet manifold, strut brace, window rubbers, induction kit, a cdplayer in the boot
Xsi is a 5door with nothing in

What speed did you get up to? 1st and 2nd is terrible in these. My old 1.8 was faster to 20-25 than the gti. Could just be you need a dose of MTFU and use the limiter more.

Sounds like you need to do some engine work.

Ones that fit a 306 rallye.

Last week you couldn't pull away from me in the zx and the gears were to blame, this time it's samass and now the engine's at fault....
Or... you drive like my gran.
/thread
Being useful; i'd go genuine for the rallye mate, doesn't cost a lot from pug anyway. Or do you mean upgrade parts?

I hate you.
So genuine pug oil and fuel filter, gearbox oil.
Do I get engine oil from pug or should I get Mobil stuff?

Engine oil you can get elsewhere, but I would definitely get the filters from Peugeot. There was a site I saw a while back which actually had a detailed examination of all of the filters, the OEM one came out on top by far. /geek
Matt I know you're saying it was quicker through all the gears, but if you hit the limiter at all then that can slow you down a fair amount if Sam had his changes spot on...

Oil from pug is actually fairly cheap and my car is running so smoothly on it. Also have no temperature problems.
