Hey everyone, just inherited my dad's old 306 D-Turbo as a run around while I do some suspension work on my main car.
Being put through an MOT re-test as we speak after a few problems I needed to fix! Still got some more bits and pieces to do so thought I would sign up and get to know some more about my new car :-)

Welcome to the club! There's plenty of information about suspension in the guides section. Post up some photos when you get a chance!

I don't know Matt, it's a well known fact the 306 is faster in the twisties than nearly all mythical creatures!

Thanks :-) Well I already had to replace the front coils on the 306 as one had snapped which was one reason it failed the MOT first time round...... the other was the brake load sensing valve which I freed up so hopefully that will do it this time round!
Will get some photos soon, but be warned the body work isn't in the best of condition as my younger brother never washed/looked after it when he had it. But hopefully should do me until I get the Elise back on the road :-) and hopefully keep a few miles off the Elise in the future too.

Welcome! Sounds like the 306 is an easy fix. Remember you should always do the springs in axle pairs (not that you have springs on the rear of a 306 anyway!) otherwise it will handle like a complete sack of shit!
Very interested to see pics of this other car your building
