New Member V6

[eddy_gti6]

Well as some of you may have seen that shit heap of a 306 V6 on ebay the other week what didnt sell... Or did it not? Will yes i am the new owner. Paid £500 for it and what a bargain.

I am not new to the 306 game as this is my 9th 306 now, most been GTi6's. Really miss my last astor grey track toy tho

Anyway here it is when i bought it:







So i started putting some spare bits and bobs on it what i had lying around so this is how its looking at the minute:

GTi6 rear bumper, 16" speedlines, Standard rear lights and RAMAIR filter







The car is sitting so high at the minute due to the subframe having to be dropped around an inch!




Cyclones for sale or my keep them as a spare



Next job is to sort out the handling. I have a set of KONI coilovers on order along with Straight through stainless middle section into scorpion back box, Morette headlights, BMC air filter and some 406 brembos... And picking up a new bonnet tomorrow too. Cars going to have every panel a different colour soon haha. Good job its getting painted over the xmas/new year





Will update more once i get a few more updates done. Enjoy

Here is my project thread on the GTi6 Owners Club: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=151872

[Frosty]

[eddy_gti6]

If you look through and read the thread it now has standard lights!!!

Here is my old GTi6 Track toy. Really miss this car Broke for parts after a had someone run into the back on me

Be interested to see how this ends up going/looking.
Have you checked whats going on with the engine mounts in order to accomodate a v6?
Its always the first thing I check if im looking at a car thats had an engine swap as I once drove 400 miles to buy a vauxhall nova with a c20let engine conversion only to get there and find the entire thing was held in by one rubber engine mount and a couple of bolts!
long story short, alot of wasted time and money on fuel.
anyway, hope you get it going as well as a v6 in a 306 ought to

[Bananalad]

Looks like it was a bit of a squeeze to get that v6 in there?

[Scott]

The astor was gorgeous! I was gutted for you when I saw you were breaking it.

If you need a new front bumper I've got one available

Oh and welcome to the forum!

[eddy_gti6]

Thanks for the welcome

Mounts are all fine, Checked them all when i got there. Its held in my all 3 haha

Scott i was gutted to have to breake it but its one now My bumper is fine, just needs painting when i get the car painted

[samass]

nice! any more engine plans to try and squeeze some more horses out the v6?

[Eeyore]

awesome! will good to see it being looked after and being improved!

[C2K]

I'm curious as to why the subframe is on spacers, for what purpose is this? Is something fouling the steering rack?

Iirc it's due to the driveshafts hitting the wishbones if you do not lower the subframe on spacers

Nice bargain tho mate any chance of a few pics of the gearbox setup plz thinking of mayb doing the conversion myself in the future

[Pete]

Hi Chris, should keep the lexarse's to piss off all the trackday boys lol.

Welcome along mate. Loved the Astor, hooefully this will be just as epic

[HDIkyle]

Absolute bargain! I personally like it how it was first with the phase 2 rear bumper. Looks more poverty spec and sleeper.

[Ed Doe]

I spoke you you @ FCS this year just before heading off myself, your old Astor was really nice Such a shame it got shunted :'(

Loving the rattiness of the v6 machine though! Bet that surprises a few significantly more expensive cars!!

[eddy_gti6]

Well paid for a few parts today so hopefully be here early next week so i can get them fitted
Picked up a better bonnet and omp strut brace today after work, will get them on in the morning. Just need to wait on my morettes turning up and i can fit my light weight front panel Could do with ordering some bonnet pins too.

I fitted my astor rear bumper as i dont like the shape of the xsi bumper and the GTi6 bumper has the cut out for the exhaust that i should be picking up sunday.

[eddy_gti6]

More photo updates B) getting there. looks a bit shitter than when i bought it but it will pay off in the end

New bonnet and tested grill



Strut brace is on



Just waiting on the morettes coming and will get them fitted along with my lightweight front panel

[4WayDiablo]

You seem to like drilling the holes in the grill. Do you actually see much of a difference?

[Andy]

Welcome along mate.

I did see your Astor 6 at FCS. It was a beauty, Astor happens to be my favorite colour too. It's such a shame it got wacked

They really are getting rather rare.

[eddy_gti6]

I was just testing with the grill, Just helps air flow through the grill into the air feed and i like the look of it B)
FCS was awesome, Track time was full of pussys tho, no one to battle with on my 2 sessions

[spike2002]

The v6 is looking a lot better already mate
I'm going to be doing the conversion myself after Christmas any chance you would be able to get me a few pics of a few parts? And a few measurements aswell?
Hopein to have the conversion done for fcs 2013 so you may have a battle if you are there

[Grant]

Looking good. I loved your old car, i was actally on the cusp of buying it when you had it for sale lol.

[eddy_gti6]

car is off the road at the minute! Hit a bump in the road and my car bottomed out smashing a small hole in the sump and denting the down pipe. Nothing major tho, it will fix.
