306 HDI Daily smoker workhorse - ben306 - 28-03-2012 You'll have to bear with me as I've copied and pasted from another forum, some of it may not make sense. 2001 'Y' HDi LX Lowered 50mm on Coilovers (were brand new) and Rear lowered with new uprated shocks K&N Induction Kit Estimated 130bhp with remap Pretty sure most of you are familier with it, due to it being Sam's old one but a few pictures to start it off The cyclones refurbed in graphite grey, will put them on tomorrow General condition of alloys before I started Prep'd Primered Colour coat Finished Well the wheels are on, adjusted the tracking slightly while I was at it. Also gave it a good clean and a full polish and wax! Think the wheels look ok, thinking maybe lime green calipers when I do the brakes! Not sure if it needs to go a little lower yet, going to give it a few weeks and see what I think. And the stereo in Had been driving it for about 6 months, been bob on. Ive put new bottom arms on it, full service, cambelt and waterpump. New front tyres and mot sorted. Could just do with some new front pads/disks. Just put some roof bars on it, for the bike. Thinking of dropping it a little more and maybe a black roof and bonnet badge, also some more stickers for the back window. Why can I not just leave my cars alone Thinking of bright green calipers next (anyone know where I can get bright green paint to cover metal?) Also after a super cheap backbox with a 3inch tail pipe then I'll straight through the exhaust system from the turbo back. Also thinking maybe a further drop of 20mm so its down to 60mm. Finally I might do a black/checker/union jack roof and get a few more stickers for the back window. Few of the HDI (AKA my daily work horse/smoker) Been messing a bit more. Needed new brakes as I was getting back wobble through the brakes when I was giving it beans. Anyhow, had to mess while I was at it. Before! Shot discs and pads New items And Bright green Also stuck a few new stickers on and added a union jack to the roof (Ive a better photo but its on my camera, these are off my phone) Well I put a full scorpion stainless exhaust on it, but after being put on consultation at work for redundancy, its time to start looking to sell stuff on. I've got a for sale thread up if anyone is interested in it. Shame as it sounded well and looked spot on And the 2 of them together Well shortly after christmas, I had a small bump in it, nothing major and just abit of panel damage. Sorted it out with a fresh wing and light and then drove about with the bumper zip tied for 2 months, anyhow, few weeks back managed to sort out a bumper and its nearly back to its former glory. Just need to sort out the small nick in the bonnet. After the bump Zip tied 'drift style' bumper And working hard for its keep Then pretty much sorted, and a recent buy of a roof box ready for my Le Mans Trip. Though I think its a little too big, Think I might spray it up silver and sticker it up yet. And thats pretty much as it is. I'll get one of the rallye done when I get chance but its 6 years of it changing and might take abit to get it done. 306 HDI Daily smoker workhorse - Matt - 28-03-2012 Looks awesome! Best workhorse I know! Haha Re: 306 HDI Daily smoker workhorse - mark_airey - 28-03-2012 Looks good mate, it was a tidy car when sam had it, good to see that its being looked after 306 HDI Daily smoker workhorse - kentiiboii - 28-03-2012 Looking nice. Remember seeing this at sams. I had the lazer of it for my old 1.4. Roof boxes on 306 look epic there a lad near me with one on. Re: 306 HDI Daily smoker workhorse - ben306 - 21-05-2012 Been getting it ready for Le Mans! Spent a full day saturday on it. New rear beam off a gti6. Lowered it to match (took an age) and put new bearings in the beam and wheel bearings. New brake pads Oil and filter change Brake fluid change New front tyres New drop links New wishbones New Balljoints Tracking done. Also got the roofbox painted up ready to get stickering. Not happy with the spray job, the textured finish to the plastic is coming straight through to the paint layer, so not got a smoth finish, tried a few coats of hi build primer but its not touched it, Not wanting to spend a fortune on rattle cans Ive made do for the few times a year it will actually get used. Re: 306 HDI Daily smoker workhorse - C.A.R. - 21-05-2012 Nice car Think the wheels would look smarter in silver, but I guess being black means you don't have to clean them as often! Re: 306 HDI Daily smoker workhorse - ben306 - 21-05-2012 I hadnt cleaned it for 4 months so black is good for the wheels haha. I struggle to clean the rallye so little chance for this one. RE: 306 HDI Daily smoker workhorse - MY95 - 16-01-2014 Really nice car mate! I also have a Silver 306 HDI 5 Door with cyclones and spoiler.
