Hi Jamie,
Having owned and driven many 140s and 180s i would pick the 140 everytime. 
Not only are they nicer to drive there cheaper to run and maintain! |
Oh RLY please tell me more about how the 138's are nicer to drive and cheaper to run and maintain than the top of the range 180 model...
I've only ever owned the 180 but driven the 138 back to back thought it was about as much fun as w**king in a freezer.

contact Gary stone. he will have all the answers. only thing you will get from here is plp moaning at you for "wrecking" a 180.
keep us updated though  |
Defo because it is.
What are the gains unless the 180 engine is dead..? might aswell try and be different with one of the lesser models .They don't sound anything like an R32 ect (good) either and I reckon they won't be any quicker ect so seems a waste of time to me.

Rarer - they aren't exactly what you'd call common are they?
Either way it's his money but imo it's a waste of a top spec 206. Why not pwn a lesser spec one?

Jamie I know your saying there wouldn't be much difference between a v6 and a 180 but believe me there is! Mine was put up against one and it left it for dead no matter what gear the pull was from and with a simple map the d9 engine can easily hit 240 Bhp with a map alone, mine is the earlier d8 type but I've been having a play and it should chuck some healthy figures out if I get it rr'd just my 2p and to Gheatley01 why haven't you gone for the earlier d8 would be much easier to wire? Good luck mate!

It just doesnt suit a hot hatch...therefore the engine needs to go in an SW Si...compact V6 estate. What more could a man want?

When you say 'left it for dead' do you mean 'left it for dead' or just a car length in front?
I beat a Jaguar XJ220 in my 180 the other week do you believe me?
Vid's or it didn't happen.
Personally getting back to OP's original q' the reason I say it's a waste of a 180 is...
I don't think the V6 suits the 206 chassis like Edward says. I just can't see the point... I'd understand it more if he was shoe horning it in to a base model shell or a dead gti/180... but removing a EW10J4S for a V6? waste of a decent hot hatch.
V6 lumps are for big heavy cruisers really, not for blasting around country lanes in a crisp packet. I'd imagine on a stock map for it to be a lazy ass engine with p**s poor power figures being a Peugeot/Citroen lump. I don't think the engine characteristics would suite the chassis.

lol he owns his own peugeot second hand spare business so im guessing the 180 was scrap or along them lines.
the 180 is not rare at all. there is a s**t load for sale.
and he is doing it so no point saying how he should of used the normal gti. this is why no1 bothers with this site much. he asked for some help with wiring and got moaned at for something else.
what i said would happen happend
saying all that i agree with you jamie lol.
