My latest shed project. 306 Rallye.

[Budgie]

Picked up from a mate today. Car has 175k on the clock, so the to-do list is fairly long.

Clutch could do with replacing at some point.
General suspension refresh definitely required.
Tyres have seen better days
Needs a clean up.
Silver wheels fitting and sell black ones.
Will probably fit some DS2500's I have in the shed from an old Clio.

Great fun though- seating position smashes the Clio, six speed box has the most perfect ratios.

Few s**t pics as it stands.

 

[ForceIndia]

I miss mine. Epic cars when fit.

 

[Daniel]

Did you spend all your money on this? Are you now proper skint?

I can think of no other reason why you took your pictures with a Nokia 3210.

 

[welshname]

I still can't believe how good the 306 shape is after all this time.

I'm still tempted by another. Won't be a shed of a derv this time though.

Will keep an eye on this.

LOL! Check out the state of the phone that took them:

Pretty good considering.

 

[Cub.]

As I said in my text, I quite like it.

Oh and Daniel those in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones!

I've seen pics of yours- looked lovely!

It'll take a few hundred quid and some effort invested, but this one needs saving.

f**k off! My pictures may be crap but at least you can see what it is i'm taking a picture of! And they're not blurry!

 

[Gray]

such a soft spot for these.

Should be fantastic after some TLC.

Bullshit Worzel. Your photos are worse than mine. And that is saying something.

I think they sound great too. I'd love another. Did the BMW go?

 

[Daniel]

Bulls**t Worzel. Your photos are worse than mine. And that is saying something.

Go on then Mr Hotshot new moderator, find me a picture that i've taken that's so blurry you can barely make out the number plate.

(My apologies Budgie but this needs to be cleared up...)

 

[adamlstr]

I pedalled one round the ring for a couple of laps a few years ago, it was a boggo 120bhp XSI but had koni shocks, it was VERY capable and VERY predictive!

Great shed!

[The Chubby Pirate]

A thank ya.

 

[GCC]

I'm actually quite jealous of this!' I wanted one of these after my 205GTI but decided I needed to spend some time in extremely s**t cars not worth trying to move quickly in order to preserve my license and cars. I'd almost forgotten them though...
I can see me all over ebay tonight now

 

[Adam93]

Cool car, will look great once its received some T.L.C

 

[Cub.]

Indeed. I gave up after looking at your first page of posts.

 

[Christopher.]

Nice purchase Mike. Always liked these.

 

[mr bognor]

I had a 306 GTI-6 and loved it great box and such a good drive .

Let me know when you sell

 

[Sir_Dave]

How it should look lol.

Love them.

 

[Budgie]

Are they 17's?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Yeah 17s. Anthracite with a polished lip.

Has yours got a K&N 57i? Hilarious induction noise.

 

[Adam93]

Looks ace with the Turini's although i think a 16" would suit it better.

 

[crazystu21]

id love some turini's for mine but finding some in the right fitment was a nightmare so gave up!

 

[Budgie]

First purchase. A set of Eibach Prolines and new shocks all round.

 

[Hixle]

This has to be the worst picture of a car I've ever seen.

You're now ahead of Nick Frost on the kill list, for that pic. Cub. will understand.

Looks good though geez! Big fan of these.

 

[Cub.]

FLOL at the Kill list.

"I'm afraid, I don't know you, so you are first up...."

Is this the how cars look with cataracts thread?

You mean what's his name with the diesel flamer!

It's not even a jumper... It's more like a cape!

Looking good so far Budgie

 

[497adam]

Love these

 

[STICKER TWONK]

Great cars! I had a 306 GTI-6 in white for nigh on 8 years, used as a daily for 5 of those and it was amazing. Mine was ultra reliable and still is as my best man has owned it for a few years now, still with nothing spent other then usual maintenance.

Quicker then you think, superb handling in a discrete package, great cars.

Great times I've had in mine, all in a 5 minutes vid...

Lol!

 

[Budgie]

So yeah. Still got this thing. Spent a few quid on it, and about to do the clutch and that at the weekend. Then who knows, it maybe being swapped for my black Ph1 again. Miss that car.

 

[Budgie]

Bit of an update on this one:

Treated her to a new clutch, cambelt, wishbones, drop links, gearbox oil. New driveshaft on one side too. Oh, and some new rubber. T1R's l round until the summer when she might get something a bit more focussed.

No on Eibach Prolines and with dS2500's.

Work in progress:

Drives a million times better. Actually loving it.

Then yesterday gave her a quick once over with the rotary. Failsport style.

Definition of nice from afar, but far from nice. <3

Black wheels will be painted next. As soon as the weather improves.

 

[Cub.]

Ghhheeeyyyy. X

 

[Budgie]

I'd rather be bummed by a man than do another clutch change on it tbh.

Lining that gearbox up is impossible on the floor. You need 8 arms, all the strength of Popeye's FFS.

Box is the size of a 3 bed semi!

 

[JackD]

Looks good mate. The engine crane a new addition or borrowed?
