Newbie - looking for 3door 306 to buy ;)

[Dazecoop]

Hey guys!

Never owned a 306 before, but looking for a cheap runabout for the winter, which may potentially become a project too!

Currently drive competitively in the British Drift Championship, in my 400bhp Nissan Silvia.

   

My daily is a Land Rover Discovery which I use as a tow vehicle, although looking to sell that soon.

Anyway - if anyone has a Ph1 3door, especially D Turbo model, they know of for sale, let me know! I'm on the hunt, cash waiting

Thanks!

Your Nissan wont compare to the raw power of the Pug haha. Strong photo!! Welcome

Welcome along. I do like watching the drifting

Best to have a search on ebay, phase 1 306s are starting to pretty hard to get hold of these days

Buy Martyn92's and fix it, so I don't buy it

Welcome along!

Ah yeah i forgot about that 1

Bit of a distance to fetch it but it would be worth it

Wow more pictures of the drift car

Reckon you'll be able to drift a 306 no problem

Hey guys, thanks for all welcome's! 

I saw Martyn92's ph1 in the for sale section before posting this thread, but ideally I'm after a car which doesn't require any work. Or at least, no major work such as engine replacement, etc. I'll continue to keep my eyes open on eBay/Gumtree etc! I really really want a black one! I love black cars!!

One of the reasons for getting a 306 actually is because I wont be tempted to drift it (or can't drift -- fwd) The Nissan is still road legal (barely), and its physically difficult to drive without spinning the rears. Its a police magnet too, loads of front camber & so many stickers everywhere. I'd be nice to have a 306 - still fun, but can't get me into too much trouble!  I've also always somehow had a thing for Ph1 3-door 306's, revisiting my 17yr old self when I wanted one, but couldn't afford insurance! Lol.

More photos of drift car? Sure! 









And a video too? This was from Anglesey circuit, North Wales a couple weekends ago. Brilliant fun!



Thanks for all the welcome's & replies guys!

Drift car looks amazing! Some great shots there too.
Very difficult to come across a PH1 D Turbo, especially in good condition.
Id go for a late Phase 3 HDI, easy to find, cheaper to run and nippy and a lot of fun once remapped!

Yeah, this is what I'm slowly discovering 

The ph2/ph3 isn't too bad I guess, but I just somehow like the ph1 styling a lot more. Especially in the D Turbo trim level! 

I'm not in a huge rush to find a car, so I will wait & see what pops up! Anyone reading who wants to sell their 3dr ph1 D Turbo, PM me!   haha

What's your budget? I'll keep an eye out.

What's your budget? I'll keep an eye out.

Budget originally around £500, but its soon becoming clear that I won't find a decent Ph1 3 door for that kind of money?

I'm also now looking into GTI-6 / Rallye's (ph2/3). £1k budget if I find something I really like maybe. Oh- and ideally the car is black - its the best colour!

PM'd you.
