    Well the other day I bought an '87 505 v6 STX w/ 5-speed manual transmission.

    The car is in great shape. Straight body, no leaking underneath.

    There were some minor issues that I fixed yesterday.

    -Fixed automatic antenna
    -Fixed mirror adjust switch and mirror motors
    -Fixed miscellaneous switch lights
    -Installed new dash clock
    -Installed A/C compressor
    -Installed A/C condenser/aux fan
    -Accidentally hooked the fog lamp lead to the horn blower, lol :)

    All I need now to make the car virtually new is a new blue leather Turbo or STX driver's
    seat.

    I'm so excited about this car it's silly. All I can say is thank God Peugeot pulled out of the
    US market otherwise I'd never have gotten this much car for so little money.

    The only things I think I want to do to it now are get the 89,90,91 lower body kit
    somehow, and the matching tail lights. I'm also trying to figure out what can be done to
    get some extra oomph out of the car while keeping it reliable, any suggestions?

    Also I've been told that the US version of this car is ~150hp and the euro version is
    ~170hp... does anyone know what the actual difference between the two versions is that
    would make for a ~20hp drop in power on the US spec car?

    Thanks!
