From memory, the Ph1 is about 1150kg ... fair bit lighter than the latter Ph2/3's ...

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?

Well, small update - I've purchased a Decat for £30 which is pretty good going, I'd say. I'm also going to change the tailpipe to some 2.25" stainless steel pipe when I get the chance, as the Magnex looks garbage IMO. And if it's still really boomy with the decat, the back box is getting chopped open and emptied! lol.
I've been looking at YouTube videos of GTi-6 0-60 times etc (not a very accurate judgement of a cars speed, I know!), and have been comparing my own - it's considerably slower in gear. The general consensus on 306gti6.com is that the inlet cam timing could be out, so I'll be looking to get that sorted sooner rather than later! Especially as the current cambelt is on 35K... Tempting fate!
And finally, I think I've managed to secure some genuine Speedline 205 GTI wheels with 4 brand new Toyo's. Just deciding on colour now... It's a toss up between Silver, Satin Black and Bronze. I really like the Bronze, although Silver looks quite fresh... but we'll see!

I'm un decided on this yet. I kind of like those wheels, but then I kind of don't at the same time.

I like the 205 alloys tbh, look good in silver! Photoshop white cyclones on it though as well, see what that looks liek!

205 wheels look awful, unless they are on a 205!!
If you want something else, buy some Comp MO's, in matt black. Otherwise, the cyclones look much better imho

I kinda like the 205 wheels, looks alright on the photoshop to me. If I can find a cheap seat somewhere I'm gonna throw some on my 106 just for a second set. Dunno what it is about them.
Best looking aftermarket wheels I've seen on a 306 are the Speedline Comp 2's but I don't know whether they would work or not on the PH1

Well I'll see what they're like when fitted, tbh for the price they're going at, I'm getting 4 brand new tyres with a set of free wheels thrown in, so it would be silly not to try them out!
I've never really liked the cyclones that are on it, they just look a bit too new tbh! And I don't like the look of SL Comp 2's... might just have a weird taste in wheels! Lol
Ideally I'd be after getting Compomotive MO5's, but I've struggled to find a cheap set so they'll have to wait.

Aye, found them on RallyeRegister.
I'd more than make my money back if I sold the 205 wheels and kept the tyres instead of buying a new set of Toyos, so it seems like a safe bet!

Comp Mo's tend to go for about 300 on Saxp/106moaners/ebay.
Mine cost me 80 quid lol.

I've already missed out on a set of proper cheap OZ Ultraleggeras (which I'm not entirely sure would suit it anyway) and a set of Compomotive TH's, so I was eager to snap these up at that price!
80 quid?! HOW!
There's a set on 106owners going for £240, but they're pink and look s**t.

Many owners of saxo/106s are retarded, so they were on eBay as cumpamotivs. No one else found them

Comp2's ftw! had them fitted to my s/c 6 and they looked simply awesome!

Flol nothing like taking advantage of idiots! Haha
Fair enough! TBH I won't be able to decide if they stay or not until they're actually on the car... PhotoShop never really matches what they look like IRL.
I kind of think it's got a hint of Clio Williams about it when they're Bronze...

Lol those must have been from the black country? Thats how they would actually pronounce it.
Just stumbled across some For Sale pictures from back in 2009.... F**k me Morettes look rank!

Looks good on MO5's!

how bout..... dare i say Turini's?
DC2 TypeR / E36 328i
Those MO's look brilliant mate
RB 182
Has to be cyclones on a 6 IMO.
MO's or nothing tbh! Turini's would look aright in 16" but I'm sticking with 15's. Plus Turinis are expensive! lol The wheels would be worth more than half what the car is worth
Cyclones just look a bit too new on a P1 IMO

Turinis are epic on the ph2, but not sure on the ph1 ... 17s with Billies:
LY Megane R26 230
Turini's
Comp 2's
Or the classic Cyclones

17's look massive!
But Turini's do rather suit the P2/3's... Tyres must have cost a fortune!

Mine was on 16's and would have been cheaper for 17's
How does that work out? lol
Seems like nobody generally runs coilovers on 306's... Just been looking at KW V2's but I can't seem to find anyone with any experience of them; is there a reason for that? Is it just that you can get as good a set up running Bilsteins & springs for less money or?
