As a summary tho, they are both good looking cars, but 306 handles alot better. Although Peugeot build quality is a let down :( | |

quote: I raced a Astra mk4 1.8 SXi from 0-115mph in my 306 D Turbo (early style engine) after it had been tuned, and it was side by side the whole way (give or take me slightly in front from 30-80, and him pulling away at 115+ as my turbo wound down) The HDis are an excellent engine. u use something called a "powerstick". It plugs into the ECU (in series), and resets the boost + fuelling, takes it from 90bhp to over 120bhp, and torque dramatically increases from 140lb, up to over 200lb/trq. Cost around £200 fitted. These are top of range items from Sweden, and as well taking ur 0-60 a few seconds, top speeds of over 120 are possible, and mpg increases too. Very easily removed so wont ruin warrenty etc. I know the guy who can supply/fit these, so give us a bell if/when u want more info. U really wanna get an intercooler fitted one of these @ some point so that higher boost can be run, but that can be done at a later date. Looking around £200 for that. Get onto Peugeotgti.net, anddo a search! loadsa info on em there. Matt | |

get an hdi and chip it, much quicker than the astra, handles better and does more mpg. | |
