The old girl's still going - Kezzieboy - 20-08-2014
Evening all.
Figured I'd chuck a few photos up after a detailing session the other day, and don't have a project thread (as nowt has happened for a couple years, really!) so had to make a new thread.
Was my birthday last week (thanks for the thread, you cnuts!) which marked the 5th anniversary of me driving this thing on the road, and although she's a bit rougher round the edges than she was back then, she's still alive and well.

A bit of beading:

Apologies for the crap quality, the camera on my new phone is a bit pants.

Happy birthday for last week! :p lovely car bud, always wanted mi16 alloys on mine
RE: The old girl's still going - Toms306 - 21-08-2014
Well I've never seen alloys rust before...
Seriously though, not my choice in alloys but its not my car lol, and the rest still looks surprisingly good after 5 years!

Haha, the colour is temporary, I just needed a cheap solution, and this respray cost less than a tenner and is incredibly hard wearing. I start a new job on the 1st of september though, so sandblasting and powder coating will be on the cards, there's a place in Brum that does it for £20 a corner.
RE: The old girl's still going - calibra306 - 21-08-2014
Sweet ride. Black masks and roof! Good combo
RE: The old girl's still going - Kezzieboy - 21-08-2014
Cheers dude! Still pretty unique, not seen many other 306s with black roofs, which is nice.
RE: The old girl's still going - Gaz85 - 28-08-2014
Love the car Kezzie it looks fantastic the black and red combination works awesomely well.
RE: The old girl's still going - Kezzieboy - 28-08-2014
Cheers dude! It's filthy again after ragging it around Snowdonia for a weekend though!

Sorry to bring old thread up but how the hell do you manage 73MPG? I can just squeeze 60 out of mine.
RE: The old girl's still going - Toms306 - 22-01-2015
Constant speed, slip steaming and a bit of mathematical error.
RE: The old girl's still going - 7057sam - 22-01-2015
Looks very nice personally prefer it on the c5 steelies but still looks great
RE: The old girl's still going - Kezzieboy - 22-01-2015
It's never been on C5 steelies
And the 73 MPG was calculated properly, only error would've been the usual minor inconsistencies in filling up (I always fill to 2 clicks) and speedo/odo error. I followed a tanker most of the way from Brum to Cornwall at ~60mph (on the satnav). Even with 5% error that's still only just shy of 70MPG
RE: The old girl's still going - Toms306 - 23-01-2015
Haha, you know I'm only winding you up. I have no interest in 'on a run' mpg myself, do roughly the same mixed driving so I'm more bothered by averages.
RE: The old girl's still going - Kezzieboy - 24-01-2015
My driving is utterly inconsistent, I did it out of sheer curiosity, I hadn't planned on brimming again when I got home, but after 200 miles, the needle had barely moved, so I calculated.
RE: The old girl's still going - Calpin - 26-01-2015
The door interior, is that standard matierial? Mines flagging and I'm not sure if I could get all the glue off scrub it down and spray it.
RE: The old girl's still going - af1 - 17-02-2015

RE: The old girl's still going - Kezzieboy - 19-02-2015
Yeah, 405 Mi16s, the 106 wheels are somewhat similar, but not really, and they're 14s as matt says.
RE: The old girl's still going - Matt - 20-02-2015
Lol what steering wheel do you have? Looks massive lol

It does look very bus like
RE: The old girl's still going - Kezzieboy - 21-02-2015
It's the same size as stock, if not smaller, actually, and a nicer shape/feel. It's a ZX 16v one.
