Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - MY95 - 25-02-2014

If you could go back to when your car was standard, What would you upgrade/modify and what would you not have upgraded looking back?
For example - Xsara Mist jets, HDI remap etc

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - RetroPug - 25-02-2014

My car is std. other than Xsara mist jets, aero wipers and an induction kit.

I think Xsara mist jets and aero wipers are a brilliant upgrade for very little outlay.

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - r3k1355 - 25-02-2014

What do aero wipers do?

I consider fitting a decent stereo a useful upgrade.

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Piggy - 25-02-2014

Better speakers and stereo.

Removal of clutch pedal spring.

Underseal and stonechip all inner arches

Mask headlights

And as said, mist jets and aero wipers.

And of course: 'clones and a 40mm drop"

Ah yeah, reasonable HU is a good one too. Forgot to add that.

They don't jump around at high speeds, also they wipe a bit better generally, they apply equal pressure along the whole blade rather than only at the points the cage holds it.

They're a lot slimmer and look better as well IMO.

I've got a cheap set off ebay that was recommended to me and it's been great so far.

Powerflex lower engine mount and quick shift, my old d turbo felt so much better with these fitted!

Clutch pedal spring, you say? Where is this?

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - r3k1355 - 25-02-2014

Clutch pedal?

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Poodle - 25-02-2014

Er, on the clutch pedal... Hmm

Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - liam - 25-02-2014

Ha. Kinda saw that coming, I do get annoyed with the springiness of that clutch. Out it comes

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - E_KEL95 - 25-02-2014

Whats so good about the xsara jets? Do they look any different to the standard ones because i kinda like the look of them..

Also been meaning to take out the clutch spring this long time but thought it might mess up the clutch pedal?

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - WiNgNuTz - 25-02-2014

Xsara jets spray a wide mist of water over your screen, as opposed to 2 thin streams of water that invariably never actually contact the window. lol

Another, often overlooked, mod i like, is Cully's 'High beam fog flash' mod, just adds that little bit more light in the gulleys for b road blasting in the dark! Wink

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - 7057sam - 25-02-2014

Best mod
exhaust
supercharger
rollcage
brakes

worst mod
Supercharger
bucket seats(other peoples options)
Squeling brakes

No mod I did also came with a compromise but I guess you get that with a track car.

best free mod
Remove seats and interior Smile

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Just Sean - 25-02-2014

Yes, they're enormous lol! BUT they are awesome, 1st thing I do to any 306. Wink

Apart from that though, splitter and spoiler finish off any Meridian. And gti boot trim!

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Poodle - 25-02-2014

Lol Sean.

Best mod imo has got to be pu p-bushes. Changes the front end considerably and puts an end to replacing wishbones cos yet another shitty p-bush has given up the ghost and its not worth fighting to swap just the bush.

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Piggy - 25-02-2014

P bushes is a must.

as is HDi remap or stage 1 tune up on a bosch pump...so bosch swap for any lucas cars!

And the mist jets arent all that bad...I have colour coded mine and they blend in quite well Smile

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Rippthrough - 25-02-2014

Disco ball.

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Mattcheese31 - 25-02-2014

283mm brakes if you don't already have them, mist jets, aero wipers, wind deflectors, decent gear knob are all great easy mods, i love my 309 mi16 steering wheel too . .Smile

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Toms306 - 25-02-2014

Ah, how could I forget... Black ice magic tree!

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Danny2009 - 25-02-2014

If a car came with life time supply of black ice I would save a fortune

RE: Most Useful 306 Upgrades/Mods - Tom - 25-02-2014
