Ph1 Estate. Gearbox mounted vnt

[ash23]

Looks good, nice and strong. Does the lower brace make much impact when you already have the upper brace?

yeah there defo a worth while thing to fit made a massive difference on my last 306 . not sure how your rover would react to one but 306s love them

Well the rover handles so well it doesn't really need them, more of a aesthetic thing
Also don't think we can have front lowers only upper front/rear

Is there anything you're planning on doing/can do to the rear suspension?

[ash23]

I suppose somethings got to make up for the h/g issues

I've not really had a proper look at the rear but a bar between the rear mounts looks easy enough and should do something

[zx_volcane]

Can't believe you've sticker bombed a lower strut brace, i'll give it 5 mins before its ruined :p

All looking good though, project shaping up nicely

[ozonehostile]

Gt20 now? Haha, knew you couldn't resist :-P

Gt20 now? Haha, knew you couldn't resist :-P

yup gt20 was cheap and ready to fit more or less had it since I got the estate


still needs fitting to the car tho haha

[ash23]

[ash23]

these turned up today thanks to ginge .

have already put new top mounts/ bearings on so should be good for a fair while now will also be putting new drop links on and swaping the front calipers tomorrow

should have a decent handling car coupled with the braces and rear stuff

[zx_volcane]

Lol, so you can close the lid when you see things you don't like? 100c water temp, nah not today *slams lid closed*

ignorance is bliss eh?

Not so keen on the carbon on the lights, but each to their own.

haha yes exactly if yoi cant see it. nothing is wrong right ?

think it will be coming off tbh I've seen a few paint them but wasnt sure but at least I can easily remove the wrap

[ash23]

well with the weather being so good after work I thought why not fit the koni shocks and springs.
this now handles very well no knocks which is very strange for a 306 haha

the front end has had new wishbones, ball joints, drop links ,shocks, springs ,top mount kits and the upper and lower braces some piks not very good tho

[graebob]

I love the hidden gauges idea, that's exactly what I was going to do on mine. I was trying to think of a way to make the box lid removable too in case I use it like that for long periods.

Car looks sharp keep up the good work.

[Chris_90]

Why is the gt20 not on yet?!

[ash23]

so picked the wheels up from danny this morning and shortly after went and picked the paint up
[attachment=16365]

It's LEF.. X power Grey off the MG-R Cars..

Same colour as my previous beauty

[ash23]

thats it should look good I only picked the colour when I pulled in to dannys drive he had a zr parked up. thought hmmmm yep thats the colour of the wheels


tbh I do like the zr's but it would have to be trophy blue

[ash23]

finally fitted the gaz shockers need to stiffen them up as there on the softest setting

[attachment=16512]

also tried the hocks on 20mm spacers would be needed if fitting to a 306


[attachment=16513]

[ash23]
