coupe owning pug fiend

Post by swampyv6 »

some people on here may know me as i have being around the peuget scene for the last ten years or so, am now on my third pug after previosly owning a 309 gti goodwood, then a 306 s16 and now a 406 v6 coupe

had this a while but have being waiting to get some decent shots before i posted.

3 litre
24 valve
v6

212 bhp with graphs to proove
stainless exhaust
k and n filter
unmarked upholstry

brembo 4 pots as standered

not many plans for it except

tart the engine bay up with a few of my bolts
spray/ color code a few bits
develop a decent braided brake line kit for it

:drink:



and its getting better by the day

think the next step will be a respray of the strutbrace and the engine cover bit
either in polaris blue or the same grey as the mirror backs


the bolts i can supply to any one that wants them either in bzp or stainless
i have also developed sets of braided brake lines to suit the 406 coupe in all engine varieties and also do them for the 406 saloon range

Quite effective with the new shiney bolts/nuts :cheesy:

Is that a pic of the roof above? looks a bit orange-peely ? :o

You might want to advertised your bits and bobs in the For Sale section to get more attention.

My personal recommendation is that you should take your air filter box out and remove the steel band that's inside where the main oval pipe goes. There have been a few ES9J4 cars (including mine) which have decided to suck the band out of their own accord, jamming the throttle body fully open...
