NOSTALGIC Mi16 SWAPPED PEUGEOT 309 GTI - WE GO DOWN MEMORY LANE

We have decided to go real nostalgic and create a series where we go visit some of the cars we owned and also didnt own, but we start with Stu’s first car the Peugeot 309 GTI but with the common engine swap of a Mi16 engine.
We relive the days of our childhood with some of the bonkers storys we had.
Enjoy

I absolutely love the cars from the 80s and 90s. I remember when I had a MK2 VW Golf 1.8 it felt like I'm driving a missile. Nowadays people complain that a certain car is only 250-300bhp. Keep them old school cars coming,love these episodes

[@jasonetheridge2349]

I owned a 1988 309 gti. Made the mi16 conversion, lowered , goodwood interior, induction kit and 3 inch almost straight through stainless exhaust. An animal in the day 🤣 Sold it for a 3dr Cosworth. Regretted selling ever since.

[@MotorAddicts]

Stu had a Cossie and he said he preferred the 309

[@jasonetheridge2349]

In most ways, I agree. Best handling fwd in the day. Cossie was tail happy everywhere. Both great fun. Love your videos 👍🏻

Big up Geoff, also great to see my local area!

[@davekennedy6315]

I was a Vauxhall fanatic back in the day owning a mk2 1.8 ltr Astra GTE and then a 2.0ltr 16 valve GTE (the original Coscast Cosworth heads, no cat, no abs highest power version) Later a Cavalier SRI. Those GTEs n SRIs were great fun proper hooligan motors! I would LOVE to have a GTE 16v again, that`d be my version of this 309 for you Stu.

[@MotorAddicts]

Stu owned a few GTE’s and he also loved them

[@krs4976]

Beautiful example, my 1st motor was a beige 309 1.6L, a couple of motors later I got a 205 1.9gti and always wanted a mi16 put into it but couldn't afford it so tuned the bollocks off it over time and consequently put a piston through the bonnet . I miss my 205 even to this day my favourite car I've owned , I had 2 others but that 1st one was the one I truly loved. I've owned a few more pug sports models over the years as there is something about them , crap squeaking plastics ,constantly at the garage but a smile for every mile

[@MotorAddicts]

All about the smiles per mile

[@rossturnbull8632]

Takes me back..my bro had a 309gti and i had a Sierra xr4i 2.8...k& n's ashley exhausts...equally matched to over a ton..around that time a mate had a mk1 uno turbo...dunno if it had a bleed valve or chipped but a rapid little rollerskate....a friend of a friend had a Renault 5 gordini turbo( rare as a pay rise,even back then).. but was constant grief..

[@malcolmism6]

My fond memories car was an H reg nova l.4 SRI with twin 40K webbers on it. Sounded amazing went like stink. Had a cherry bomb exhaust on it.with oval tailpipe. People could hear me tramping it about a mile away before they saw me. Good old days. Wish i still had it. Lol lol

Absolutely Love this video. Most of my mates had Uno turbos Escort rs turbos 205gtis Renault 5 turbo and a Renault 19 16v But one of my mates had a 1:9 309 GTi Great car and fast. My ride at the time was a VW Scirocco GTi Can't wait for more videos guys These were all great cars and we used to have so much fun. Like you say you didn't need lots of power. Also had big sound systems too

[@MotorAddicts]

The sound systems back then was the thing 😂

[@F4Insight-uq6nt]

There was what was called 'Driving Lights / Spot Lights' too. They were popular do to Rally Cars of the time.

[@G4RY1159]

Remember loving those massive Rally Giant spots and fitted a set to a Luton van as hated driving on back roads with people coming towards you not dipping down their lights, Id stick the rally giants on if they didn't lol Mechanic pal that fitted them always joked if I did put them on it gave the other oncoming drivers Sunburn.

Bloody hell, I can’t believe Tides is still there! I used to go there when I was a lad with my mates from Birchington… We all used to go to Dumpton Park market as well back in the day!

Mine was saved from the scrap yard. Nothing wrong with it. Belonged to a friend who was trying to sell, nobody was buying. Said I could have it if I picked it up by 6. That was 20yrs ago, still using it almost every day. It's by no means perfect but great car to drive.

So cool seeing how happy you are driving a car you used to own 20+years ago. Very nice motor! Theres a guy local that has an immaculate 205 1.9 GTI and seeing that always brings back happy 90s vibes to me. It was a great time the 90s being FULL of very cool and entertaining Hot Hatches from every car manufacturer. Good times!

Had a 21 Turbo as my most sporting car in the day. Nicely quick but Q car understated. Flakey as can be though. Hankered after a 205 or 309GTI though, many hours looking at 309GTI ads, but never pulled the trigger (regrets).

[@MotorAddicts]

21 turbo I wish I had

Loving all the French cars lately! This is really a beauty, mate of mine had the 405 Mi16 as well as 205 rallie and A610 but never experienced the Mi16. Hard to like modern French cars as much as the old ones! Renault 25 Turbo build would be cool if you find one!

My mate had a 205 1.6GTi and he gave me a go of it. Absolutely loved the steering. I didn't want to buy the same car, be a bit different and all that, so I got myself a 309GTi. Totally preferred it over the 205 to be honest. Magnex exhaust, lowered on Spax suspension, fuel rail boost valve thingy, had the wheels diamond cut. Loved it. Double clutch and throttle on the downshift, sounded mint, felt like a rally driver. My other mate bought one of these facelifted versions, just to one up me, the wanker :).

[@pauljeffries]

I had a 5 door 309 GTI (1992 model) it was tuned by skip brown, magnex exhaust, lowered etc, in graphite grey.....brilliant car........they did do 5 door versions apart from the goodwood.

i'm not as old as you guys but i bought a mk3 fiesta 1.1l 1991 as my second car and i loved it so much. very similar shape (but the hatchback) as this one, 4 gears, 48hp and even though it was so bloody slow it was so much fun to drive.

[@MotorAddicts]

Old cars was more fun to drive

[@G4RY1159]

Still remember going to just outside Edinburgh to potentially buy a 309 GTi - be around 1994 - 95 Sadly it was Tango Orange and had been done badly with a roller, all 4 spots were also broken and the geezer selling it was a tad shifty, he booted the car everywhere with me and my M8 in it so we got a very good idea how he treated the car every journey, it wasn't worth his asking price and I ended up buying a mint white XR3i Then about 6 months later my daughter was born so I sold the Escort and bought a boring 4 door family car, a Peugeot 405 I still think about the XR3i as it really was my pride and joy and was in mint condition with a low mileage. The car I never had BUT always wanted was a MK1 Astra GTE ''in white'' - my pal had one and I was envious as hell, still mind a few trips from Glasgow down to Blackpool in it and was just good times. Thanks again lads. Cheers!

I have an 87 white rhd 309gti sitting in one of my sheds in Germany. It hasn't been used since 95. No docs so getting it on the road again would be really expensive for the TUV. Great handling car for the Alps etc. Acceleration from 50 to about 90mph would see off most of the competition in the late 80s, it had no chance against Renault 5 turbos though. I tried to get rid of it but absolutely nobody wanted it, even for free! It only needs a new fuel pump.

[@mks2310]

Mk2 jetta, renault 19 16v, ford orion ghia all great cars back in the day

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

For the record: Some 8v Gti's come with Air-con, but you had to option between it or power steering because there wasn't enough room on the engine for both pumps. I believe there was a 309 16 valve from factory, I always fancied one of these or a Goodwood, but the 205's were way easier to acquire for me.

[@markwalton8644]

Some good facts there. There was a 309GTi 16v but only in LHD!! Also Peugeot 106 Rallye ( which is 8v here) was also in 16v LHD

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

​@@markwalton8644 I'm actually wondering if they had both air-con and P/S now? 😂 I know certain 405 Mi16 blocks had dedicated provisions/mounts for AC, and thus are sought after for supercharger conversions. As far as I can figure, the 309 and 405 share same/similar 16v blocks. This is a rabbit hole I didn't expect to go down today 🤣 But on the flip-side, I even found a few for sale. lol Also, I love a Rallye. Thanks for that info

I had a red Citroen BX 16v (Mi16 160bhp) but unfortunately had lots of expensive engine trouble.
