#7: Re: Super charger bit over priced Author: Stigter, Location: NorthwestPosted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 10:18 am ---- You would just sell your 206 and buy an audi s4 b5 2.7tt (normally on regs from s to y plates) - 265bhp standard- remap 300+bhp and with change of turbos 420bhp - true sleeper - but at least it could put the power down with the 4 wheel drive!

Insurance companies use forums to advertise, offering discounts of you quote the forum.
1. Easiest way to advertise.
2. Easiest way to check if people are still within their policy. Don't forget that they won't refund a cancelled policy.

Im far from cash strapped and drive a 206 but only to stop me spending thousands on modifying, No 4wd and No turbo have helped me to start spending my money on my house. Ive had high powered (300bhp +) fwd cars before and to be honest i wouldnt have another.

Even for the money conscience, and non-show offy among us, there are better alternatives to a 206 for similar cash, I don't mean to slag off the 206, because despite its rattles, I love mine, but my next car would be a Golf for sure

Not for me there wasnt.I only wanted to spend £2k on a car and the 206 Gti180 came out the best option for me. Fair enough it does rattle a bit and it doesnt handle very good and its slow but i still like it.

I would agree with that except the bloke i brought mine from had almost a mansion,he also had an Aston martin,Bentley continental GT and a porsche GT3,sadly it wasnt an RS.
Tight git brought the 206 for his misses and she never drove it,good for me as it very low mileage.

We aren't all cash strapped, we dont all run 206s as everyday cars.
Some are running their cars on a very tight budget others aren't and still have other cars.
I got my 206 nearly 10 years ago and have kept it all that time. It's now a summer toy and a very decent example too.

Calm down lol, all I'm saying is that there's very few people on here that would buy that their 206.
Considering that I would assume the majority of cars on here aren't worth more thsn £3,000ish

its probably because you were used to driving something with alot of bhp the 206 180 seems slow, its like someone who has a corsa 1.0 then buys a 206 180 will then think its a rocket

But I managed to beat an ambulance to a hospital once, they must have had someone in the back of it because despite having the blues on, they weren't exactly speeding
#45: Re: Super charger bit over priced Author: james180, Location: NottinghamPosted: Sat Apr 21, 2012 3:59 am ---- It just seems slow for the power. I know they dont have 180 bhp but they are pretty close to it and its not exactly a heavy car. I drive a van all week which Isnt fast at all.

Back to my point, with the exception of that one guy, anyone who could afford that super charger, wouldn't buy it because they could get more bhp and a better/more reputable car with the money that they'd have put into a supercharged 206.

Now you are talking status symbols. If I was looking for an everyday car I wouldn't buy a 206 but as a weekend toy they are good fun.
My Jetta would be just as fast as the 206 up to a point and for driving everyday it's the better car by far but despite it being more modern with the multilink rear suspension etc it just isn't any fun.

Paramount were big in the tuning world of Jaguars, stupid pricing forced them into liquidation in the end. For example they wanted £2000 to fit a custom cat back sports exhaust(s) to mine, I got it done elsewhere for just over £600. Then they wanted £700 for a remap. There were a lot of people on the Jag forum that wouldnt touch them, and they had big money, cars like XKRs XFRs ect, even people with DEEEEEEEP pockets will not be ripped off!
