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:

![[Image: Photo0362.jpg]](http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee369/Foxy-jim/Photo0362.jpg)
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.
