So i thought it'd be fun, and interesting to look back on to diary my pug experience to date. Sorry to blaspheme but i honestly couldnt stand french cars, i thought they were sinful unreliable creatures with no worth what so ever..... in rolls the Pugani (1.4 quicksilver) bought as it was cheap and i needed a ride quick in summer 2011..... 18 months and over £2500 later, this is how it stands today (up for sale if anyone is interested)
Coilovers,decat,twin 3 inch exhaust (loud as hell) panel filter, blacked out rear quarters, black lexus LED rear lights and so on.....
Now, despite the constant mockery from the cruise scene and mates round here,i went out and got a myself a GTi (January 2013) as i've got the bug.
As i got her, completely and utterly "out the factory" standard
And after its first proper clean and polish (p**sed off as i've spotted a few paint problems now, but looking very tidy overall)
Also in January 2013, in goes the K&N filter, JBL 936eGTO 6x9's and a sub that i got myself for the bargain price of £20 for the old car to make use of the Pioneer usb/mp3 headunit. It isn't going to win any SPL competitions but can go from zero to headache in around 15 minutes
Thats it so far,waiting until the warranty expires and old car is sold before i carry on spending or im going to end up pennieless lol

Well, as a few of you may have seen by the posts on here from me, the last 3 months of my pug-life have been a complete misery. nothing but problems with the GTI, numerous trips back to dealer, £400 of my own money spent and it still misfires like a bowl of rice-crispies and 50% the time wont even rev to 2000rpm or pull,finally a week later after involvement of trading standards im sat here waiting for a recovery truck to take it to a garage who,due to ongoing dispute with the dealer,are under strict instruction of what to check in what order and call me after every stage.......
Oh i do love peugeot lol

[quote="Mr-Tigger"]So,mini update. Sportex catback racetube with 3inch pipe is on, and just today pagid discs and pads on front......slightly overdue lol.
Also now hooked up second amp (100w RMSx2) for the rear speakers alone 
Slowly getting there but in typical peugeot style,its just developed a rear end squeak from up behind quarter panel above wheel so assuming shock/mount problem aaaaargh [unquote]
Might be rear axle bearings instead. Not nice to fix.

haha yeah usher,while giving a mate the bad news his corsa has blown a headgasket,he rocked while i listened,it was passenger side rear sear. put a tiny amount of teflon grease on the latch and the tiny bit of white upper rear where seat contacts and......silence for now.
next on the list is new lambda as think its over/underfuelling and a 200cell cat.
Still not sure about a chosen colour scheme when i get the money tho :/ red bonnet vent,nimrods and interior panels (just the removables)? anyone fancy photoshopping it for me in a few shades lol?

Coilys fitted (rear still to be fitted and torsion bar done due to delays caused by the freakin' drop link) not going "suicide-low" this time

what coilys did you use and did you require spacers to make them fit? mine rubbed at normal length so had to fit 7mm spacers to stop them rubbing on the front.
Lowered pug next to standard pug. Need to bring out my rears 7mm too as you can see they're tucked away.

used same coilys as on my 1.4, JOM,£153 and never had a problem with them,silly big drop if you want it too. nope,no spacers as yet,but have to see what happens as new alloys or a refurb is on the books now
