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.

Hi all, sorry for the lack of updates and actveness just been really busy lately! So I washed, polished and waxed the car today, and also hopefully fixed my front wiper motor, the plug was all gunked up so i cleaned it out and wd40'd the bad boy! Manifold is on now so i have some pics and a video!
Heres the video (sorry about the quality, you cant quite hear it popping properly):
