Ell Diablo - Hydraulic Clutch In

[Grant]

How about a kv6 engine? Might find it easier to fit in the front

nooo, he doesn't want any K series stuff in the 306, plus that engine is quite expensive to fix.

anyway grant, the cars looking good, id have moved the spare wheel further into the boot, also binned the standard dash and made a full blown custom one up. like what's in the caterham 7
have you thinned out the car loom and fitted a removerable boss?

Definitely don't want anything K series!!! Avoiding that like the plague lol

The spare wheel is currently on the car, so nowhere in the back, and a fuel cell is getting welded into the floor at some point, so the wheel goes wherever there is space. I'd love to make a custom dash, but when the cage/frame is in, there most probably won't be one at all. Being a short fucker I have no need what-so-ever for a removable wheel, and it will only move the wheel further away from the stalks. The loom will be cut down when i remove the dash

Just a thought but wouldn't it be easier to buy the RV8 engined 306 that keeps popping upon ebay and transfer the space frame and that sort of stuff across

Further Edit; or this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/peugeot-306-v8...7675.l2557

Good call Chris, none of the pics work but i Think I can remember it. Seems a little pricey though?

Audi 2.7T V6 or 4.2 V8 - or name the engine and make an adapter plate (though for me, 3.0 or 4.0 V8 CR TDi)
Mid mounted on an Audi 01E FWD transaxle
318is rear subframe
Custom propshaft

Bonza.

Though IMHO - no point in having a RWD 306 - the wheelbase is just TOO short, you're not going to be able to drift it... So you may as well do a 4x setup - in which case still use the 01E tranny but shove the engine up front, but have a Quattro one with the Torsen centre diff and then just link it up again to your 3 series or RX8 rear subframe.

Not really after a diesel though dude. The whole point of this is for maybe a little more power, but just doing something that hasn't been done, fully, and for epic noise.

With regards to drifting: It's not what I'm building this for lol

I want to keep some aspect of the 306 handling so thats why the alfa box would be great for the weight distribution.

Besides, the new fiesta is shorter than the 306 by 80mm, and Ken Bloc manages just fine
