My 1.4 China project!!!
#1
Hi all,

As said in my newbie thread, many of you will already know me but for those who dont I have a 1.4 306!

So far I have:

Lowered my car a lot on coilovers
4-2-1 exhaust manifold and full stainless system
VTR inlet manifold
Induction kit
Smoothed bonnet and boot
Phase 3 spoiler
Changed the headgasket and cambelt
Gti rear beam

Not a massive list as trying to balance the car and paying for uni haha.

Here are some pics:

With alloys (which are now for sale)

So future plans...

Flare my rear arches
14x8.5jrears and 7.5/8j front banded steels
Shorter and stiffer coilover springs
Gaz gold rear shocks
Polybush engine mounts
Smooth bumpers
VTR engine block
Cams
Standalone ECU
Throttle bodies
Re-upholster seats

Probably more when I think about it! Haha. Let me know what think!

I'm looking for £375 but that obviously includes basically brand new tyres and spigot rings so they sit on the hub with no movement.

You would need 20mm spacers to run them.
