That looks really great Adz. Awesome choice of mods! Makes me miss mine... but then I remember the ride quality LOL. How are you finding your coilovers? Bouncy bouncy?
I'd be surprised if you didn't find a bit of rot in the sills/rear arches! I imagine mine was horrific - but never got round to having a look tbh. Yours being a '97, it might not be too bad actually...
Did a quick search and the only specs I could find were for the wheels:
17X10 et-18 235/40 -2.7
17X11 et-1 245/40 -1.4

I didn't realise they were that much lighter! Mines got a big heavy electric sunroof, so that must add a fair few KG's...
How heavy are the PH2/3 Rallyes then?
Yeah, its been lowered 40mm iirc, with the torsion bar lowered to suit.
I'm half tempted to get AST coilovers or Bilsteins for the front as the current setup is way too soft. Dampers feel very tired when pressing on!
I'd say a 106 would be about on par with the 306 upto about 60, then the 306...
The GTi-6 was introduced in 1996 IIRC, the S16 was axed as the GTI was introduced. There are pure P1 GTI-6's AFAIK; not sure if this one is, though...
Yeah, there were 3 phases of 306, I think this one is a slight mix of P1&P2.. unless it's had a new boot lid at some point - there's a section...
Gotten into Lotus recently - Got a lightly tuned Carlton and it's f**king brilliant! Also the S1 Elise tuned to B500 can win S700 races (so long as they're very twisty... Kaido etc!) Awesome machines.
