    And that seems to be what has gone on the 406, don't think the one off the Xantia fits.

    One can only imagine how awkward it must be to work on a 2.1.....! :eek: I could never see the point of the 2.1 tbh

    Its not the same on the 406 iirc on the xantia it was linked to the suspension.

    I was wondering, did you ever fit a xantia turbo to a 406? I know they have the same engine, but the turbo in the xantia came in with a much bigger kick and it was definitly faster than my 406. Just a thought.

    Btw stay away from the 2.1, they are scrap! My local pugeot garage told me if I bought one, he didnt want to see it ever.:D

    Man those lego kits are pretty cool. I never had any sets like that growing up! Best I had was a remote control lego car platform that you could build whatever body you wanted on top of. I think I used to prefer K'nex though. Used to build massive yokes with that.

    @Ardennes1944

    In case you haven't seen it.. Is this a new TT in Cork? Just spotted when browsing!

    I've been looking for something ~€100 to take apart and have fun with, althought this looks very fun, I think it's slightly to complex for me.
    DGT, may have found you a home for that V8. :D

    Spot on, it is indeed linked to the suspension, as well as the brakes! :eek:

    I think they're the same T2 turbo, some Xantias didn't have an intercooler. Unless yours was turned up? My 406 is much faster than when I got it! :p

    It wasn't the engines fault, just the sh*tty injection system they had. Not a bad engine but stupid in this country due to the higher tax band and a pig to work on!

    I'm heading to killybegs tomorrow and on to Derry for the weekend.
    Google maps says 3 hrs 51mins from my house to Killybegs.
    Any guesses as to how long it'll actually take ;)

    Filled out an online form for Arachas insurance broker there last night and got a phonecall at work, after confirming details of myself and the car im on hold for 10 minutes working away and the girl comes back on the line telling me best they can do is €2200 and i would be doing well at that, this is with zero modification, oh my :p

    123.ie it is then i guess for the longterm, i doubt suspension upgrades really count as a performance modification, we will see

    I find google maps fairly accurate at timing my journeys, But it depends on the traffic. :)

    I got quoted €3249 on a 350Z last night, said I had my full licence and 1y NCB though, just thinking ahead for next year. :p
    I actually forgot to adjust my age so it should be cheaper again... Slightly.
