Newbie from another country - Yankee - 03-08-2015 Hi guys! I drive a 1998 306 cabrio 1.6 and was told about this site by someone on facebook. My 306 is my daily until I can afford a bigger car and I'm currently planning a roadtrip to the UK either in 2016 or 2017 because I want to attend FCS and maybe meet a few of you. I do have a few plans for my car and might request a few photoshops in the future. PS. I can't really remember if I already made a thread like this in the past or not This is what my car looks like right now, I still want it lower.. RE: Newbie from another country - highwayman306 - 03-08-2015 I think thats low enough, imho Welcome along RE: Newbie from another country - Yankee - 03-08-2015 Thanks! The pic was taken before I got the 12mm spacers on the back wheels.. RE: Newbie from another country - 7057sam - 03-08-2015 Hello and welcome Yankee RE: Newbie from another country - Yankee - 03-08-2015 Thanks 7057sam and highwayman306 RE: Newbie from another country - Eeyore - 03-08-2015 Welcome to the club. Not sure Id put it any lower than that! Looks great and you have headlight washers! RE: Newbie from another country - highwayman306 - 03-08-2015 Something the Brits missed out on RE: Newbie from another country - craig306 - 03-08-2015 Welcome mate RE: Newbie from another country - Eeyore - 03-08-2015 I like the wheels. Got a little bit of wolfrace dragons about them! RE: Newbie from another country - maxzy - 03-08-2015 Welcome ! I like the headlight washer, Very cool item for my country. RE: Newbie from another country - Yankee - 03-08-2015 Thanks for the welcome guys! The headlight washers are not working so I want a bumper in yellow without them for a cleaner look. The wheels will get fixed and resprayed this winter. RE: Newbie from another country - Herby7 - 03-08-2015 Welcome RE: Newbie from another country - Niall - 03-08-2015 Welcome Car looks really nice! What other spec do you get in these that we don't in the UK? Heated seats at all? Cruise control? RE: Newbie from another country - Mattcheese31 - 03-08-2015 Welcome, smallest engine in a cabby over here is the 1.8, car looks Nice though RE: Newbie from another country - Yankee - 03-08-2015 Thanks Niall/Herb7/Mattcheese31.. My car has heated full leather seats, cloth/plastic doorcards, electric windows, electric roof, electric mirrors, central locking, ph2 headlights, ph3 grille, ph3 foglights, ph2 front bumper, ph2 rub strips/door handles/mirrors and ph3 boot lid. I'm trying to find the phase 3 parts I need to change the looks of my car. The smallest engine for my cabrio over here is the 1.6, but I've seen one 1.8 and one 2.0, I want a 2.0 16v engine in mine when the 1.6 dies at some point in the future. So many plans, not enough money RE: Newbie from another country - Niall - 03-08-2015 Awesome. Id love a set of factory heated leather seats! Get a GTi lump in there. Cant think of many people who have done that. RE: Newbie from another country - Yankee - 03-08-2015 I'd never get my car approved for a GTI engine at the MOT station, 132 ponys is the highest hp number I can legally put into my car.. RE: Newbie from another country - td163 - 04-08-2015 Welcome matey RE: Newbie from another country - Yankee - 04-08-2015 Thanks td163 RE: Newbie from another country - bashbarnard - 04-08-2015 How come no higher than 132bhp?? RE: Newbie from another country - Yankee - 04-08-2015 Because stupid rules.. A gti6 engine would be fun though.. I'll look into that.. RE: Newbie from another country - impotentials - 04-08-2015 Is it only bhp that is restricted or torque as well? Welcome along by the way. See you in two years.... RE: Newbie from another country - Yankee - 05-08-2015 As far as I'm awar of its horsepower and factory engine choice, everything I do with my car will be 100% legal. (I dont think the 306 cabrio came with the GTI6 engine from the factory) Thanks for the welcome, I hope I can find some of the parts I'm looking for over here this winter to get the project started next spring.
