Hello 309 fans,

I would like to introduce the 309GTI16. This year I own the 309 for 10 years now, and I still love this car. It's always a plessure to drive this car, but you al probably now that already.

Car details:

Peugeot 309GTI16
Color: Miami bleu
Engine: 1.9 16V 160hp (D6c)
Built: august 1990
265500 km

The car is almost standard except the front owering springs, and the modified gear knob And I would like to keep it this way.
Last winter I did some work under the body, it's the usual weak spot's of the 309.

Plans for the future, maybe the engine.

Here are some pictures of mine 309GTI16.

You should really keep it this way, it looks fantastic! I prefer the original gear knob but maybe this one is a bit better to hold.
If I understand the pictures, you did something to the rear, but what exactly?

[Johan 309GTI16]

I do like it when it's originel, why change a good driving car.

The gear knob is from a 306, I do think this one holds better.

I did some rust prevention, at the back wheels, between the feul tank, there was a rust hole. So I removed feul tank and some other parts. I removed the rust, and welded a plate on that place.

I have seen the dutch "309 GTI 93" on the website:

The GTI16 from holland was with a simple GTI gear knob
In france it was with leather, just like the 205 gentry and the 405 with leather seats

[Johan 309GTI16]

I have keopt the original gear knob, and this is a compleet round one in leather, with silver letters. It's not the one in the picture above.

The leather seats where available, I think from the years '91. I was thinking to put als some leather seats in my car, but I want to keep things as original as possible.

I've learnt something with pictures: never trust them!

Indeed, It's isnt the knob on the photo.

Because the warning light from the brake pads was flashing, I installed on the front and back brakes some new pads. I have selected the ones from ebc greenstuff. I heard that they are quite good.

[alargeau]

Did you have a chance to test them? I heard they're quite good too.

[Johan 309GTI16]

I have now driven about 60km with the new brakepads, the first 160km you have to take it easy, but the first feelings are good.

EBC greenstuff in combination with grooved discs. Combination I have on my 206 for 2 years now and because I'm so satisfied they will be ordered soon for the GTI16.

[alargeau]

I don't think I'll put grooved discs again on my GTI. I really drive like an old man and they make my alloys pretty dirty every time!

[Johan 309GTI16]

I did't replace the discs, because the in where good condition. But can you feel the difference between standard discs and grooved discs.

[Joske_]

Since the EBC Greenstuff brakepads are installed my rims are not as dirty as with the stock brakepads and solid discs.
