1996 Peugeot 306 D Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"This 306 is absolutely epic!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had one blown fuse for the dash board dial display, due to an incorrectly fitted DVD player screen, because I used the wiring from the cigarette lighter to try and power it.
Hand brake had no effect, due to worn down shoes and leaking cylinders, which have all been fixed.
General comments?
This car is the best Peugeot ever made, there is plenty of feel to the steering and the ride is phenomenal.
There is a lag to the power, but then the turbocharger spools up. There are several modifications such as a Pipercross Viper induction kit, Mongoose full exhaust system along with uprated Cam shafts and a balanced and lightened fly wheel, and the turbo boost adjuster kit with the front mounted intercooler kit.
Then did I mention to harness all those 170 rampaging horses, the car is lowered by 80 millimeters with strut and chassis braces custom made by a friend of mine.
Also with a boot this size and still doing 50 miles to the gallon, you can even call it practical.
God I love it!!!
