306 dturbo :)

Hey Guys
heres my new car, first frenchie, so dont know my way round it that well :/, im a quick learner though so shouldnt be too bad.
its a Sreg 306 2.0 dturbo..currently on 174k but going to rise sharpish as i do a fair amount of driving,
bought it on sunday, drove frm llanelli to cardigan without a hitch, pulls well and drives nice and straight, the only thing im not to keen on is the fact the steering rack is pretty slow, a lot of steering wheel movement for not much wheel movement, my old fiesta had a quicker rack, and used to jus go with a little input, but hey ho, im sure ill get used to it
did 160 miles in it today, to 1/4 of a tank, and over 6 hrs, and im impressed, my last car would have used at least double that!
few problems with it, as with any car, the drivers side electric window doesent work, theres power to the switch but no power to the motor ( i think) so im gna pull the doorcard off tomorrow and have a gander,
the rev counter only works when it feels like it, till it gets tired and then stops working again! maybe an electriacal fault, but again, i need to check that tomorrow aswell
3rd and 4th have a slight scrape into gear, 3rd is considerably worse, ive been told it was the syncros in the box, BUT, after driving it, it feels like the clutch cable has stretched, and isnt quite disengaging the clutch, im going to throw a cable on it sometime soon and see if that cures it,and top it up with box oil, if not then it will be new box
the back axle mounts need doing, but these have been supplied and will be getting done next week, so no problem, jus a knock from the rear occasionly.
and theres a leak from the bottom hose on the rad, had a load of radweld thrown in, and that seemed to have slowed it to a drip for now, so ill be sorting that this week
bearing in mind, this was pretty cheap, the bodyworks pretty clean for the age/milage, i cant really complain!
plans for it arreeee...
swap radios, which ive already done the old one wouldnt tune to radio1 and had horrible quality, got my sony in there now, so i can connect my iphone to it and bang my tunes out
ive bought some cyclones aswell, they will be going on next week when i get time
then its a mild touch with the lowering stick, adjust the fueling and turbo, and enjoy it
im sure there will be more ideas/things i end up doing, but for now thats what i have planned..
have some pics ....

I guess its not as bad as the last one

not too shappy sir!

its much much better to drive than the last one

although it takes a little bit getting used to driving, as the powerbands completly different!!

ive just wound the fuel pump out...so now smokes...quite a bit too

just dump it into 4th @30mph and floor it, let the smoke pourrrrr...and yes...i dont care about my fuel economy!

vids are uploading now

306s are getting well popular on this forum, I'm liking it

trendsetter me

getting people hooked

or selling people dodgy 306s for cheap

HAHAHROFL...whut?

haha, yea dodgy 306's cheap

i love it tbh, its a nice place to be inside...the turbo whistle is addictive, as is pouring smoke out the back

Good to see a few 306's on here. I had a 306 as my first car, 1.4 though lol. And bought another 306 for my second car but hdi dturbo. I live for the 306 haha. Heres a quick pic of mine:



Loads more here: CLICKY

right, i aint been on here in AGES and i think it needs updating!

havnt rele done much to it tbh! jus been enjoying the turbo whistle safe to say im addicted lol

made a decat pipe for it the other week, bodge jobs ftw! seems to spool slightly quicker imo

but i bought a full powerflow system the other day for the pricely sum of 20quid





its off a gti6 but ill be chopping the cat of this, and wedling it onto mine, so all good!

ive changed the rear beam mounts, nice and easy job, took about an hour, so dont knock anymore and dont feel like the bodys gna fall off the axle! haha

then i did this in work





my new business ive started, im now doing part time mechanics in the garage and painting and decorating as and when it comes

ive got new ARB droplinks in work, so ill fit them and the exhaust on monday after work or something,

and i need to respray my wheels fluoro orange

ive also removed the dturbo badges frm the side, and sprayed the badge black,

cant rele do much as i dont have much coin atm! but updates are updates!!

i need a decent video tbh....



some pics from sunday











debating wether to to get the bonnet debadged too

debadged bonnet makes an epic difrence on 306s tbh.. but u gotta smooth the bumper aswell

Thanks for considering me for the vinyl work, its not like I need money or anything now I've got a job, you cunt

lmao, well tbh, u do live miles and miles away! and since we do stickers etc in work, nd they cost me next to nothing, it seemed rude not to,



when i (eventually) manage to save for a respray, ill get the badge done then init

its had new brakes recently and the subs back in the boot

haha, smart move, smoking out the whole town with your business name on the car

haha, i know, taken that sticker off now so no one knows who i am!



got a full time job now so dnt need to advertise lol

I think you need some boost to go with that fuel
