Default Another Peugeot 306 on board.

Hi guys,
I'm a high school teacher and I own a Peugeot 306 1.4 L year 98. It has been 1 year since I bought the car and I'm spending my time giving it its lost respect. So far, I have done the exhaust completely and did important repairs.

Thanks bro. As I said, I have done the whole pipping again as it got rusty and I've got a sports muffler. I'm looking at appropriate rims right now and I'll start looking at optimizing the engine. Iridium spark plugs and Cone filter( Is it worth?). Plus, I want to have my car lowered. Eibach lowering springs and have the torsion at the rear lowered. Engine swap? Later. What do you think?

wouldnt bother with the sparks unless yours are worn
cone filter stay away from - you live in a warm enough country to intaking even hotter air into the engine is going to decrease performance. a panel filter with a big bit of ducting to it would be more beneficial, again youll not see that much from it.
lowering yeah, but remember to shocks as well for the front

I don't quite get that bit. If I lower my car, would I still be able to use it as a family car? Can I still make 2 persons sit at the back? ( 2*80 kgs ?). Thanks.

sorry should have read get shocks as well for the front. depending on how much your lowering the car your standard shocks may not be able to cope with the drop and cause crashy ride.

yeah 2 people wont be a problem
