Owens Peugeot 306 Dturbo

[Owen_G_]

This is my 1996 306 Dturbo.
I have it for a while now.

I allways wanted a cherry red ph1 dturbo and i finally got one.
When i got her she was Badly faded, Covered in tar and had a few marks on the bodywork but still was a clean car and underneath is mint.

Got 1 years mot on it and finally got her on the road. Some step up from a 106,

Here she is









Got her cleaned up a bit and looking a bit better of herself



Little bit of screweing done











I spent a long time looking for a driver door as mine had a dent in it and the car had a few other marks on it and the paint was faded and i dont think it could ever be brought back to its original colour so i thought it was time for a respray

So she got a full lick of paint + the TSW Stealths that were going on her







Car came out mint and got the wheels & 3 leg spoiler on her and a few more pics

---

Got her lowered at the front on 60 saxos and a few stickers, It will be lowered at the back soon

very nice!,lovely looking 306-for some reason I really like those mudflaps,they add a nice finishing touch

[Piggy]

Very tidy.

Some real love gone into this! Quite like the stealths too weirdly...they just seem to work on this one!

Big hate for the saxo springs though...sorry. Safer options out there for not much money
Just seems a shame to have such mint bodywork...and ruin it with something so simple.


Looks very mint though...loving the ph1 love

[Owen_G_]

Cheers lads. Cant wait to lower the rear now and a slight tint for the back window.
It was a hard decision between stealths of volcanes but i think the stealths suit her better.
. Imo i think 60 saxos are the best tbh. i dislike coilovers very much lol and were i live they would be bust in no time haha

[Piggy]

They are only best if you want the wrong springs for your car. They are saxo springs...not 306 springs

Stealths a definite good choice over volcraps!

[PartyJas]

Hello fellow cherry phase 1 owner. Very nice looking car. Wouldn't be my first choice of wheels but a good retro wheel nevertheless.

[Owen_G_]

Bit of an update :

Lowered but shes going down more, 3 nicks at the back soon and getting the back window tinted.

[Eeyore]

wow that looks very tidy! Great car!

[Piggy]

Got some safe springs on the front yet?

Does look tidy, too low for me, but looks tidy

[Jimbo]

Ive got some 15' stealths im about too sell, any idea what there worth??

Car looks great mate

[Mattcheese31]

Looked perfect before you lowered the back, looks broken now, rest of it is sweet though, just got a phase 1 Rouge valunga myself too

[Owen_G_]

Thanks guys. I still have the saxo' s in the front piggy. If I bought coilovers they would be bust in no time on my country roads :p

Jimbo I would say they would be worth anything from £150 up depending on condition, caps and tyres. I think there the only wheel for a phase1.

This car is soon getting a bigger turbo and a fmic so I will keep use updated

[Mattcheese31]

What piggy is saying is buy some lowering springs that are rated for the weight of the 306, not saxo, they won't react properly

[Owen_G_]

There actually pretty good tbh. Got the springs which were only 3 weeks old and the struts for £30
I have 60mm 306 ones there but they don't really make a difference.

[Piggy]

They are (not there) actually pretty damgerous, to be factual

[hbomb1905]

I had 60mm saxo springs on mine back in the day with no problems. Couldn't tell the difference in handling or ride between them and 306 60mm's tbh, they certainly didn't bounce me all over the place!
I think if you buy cheap springs off ebay you get what you're given and like it!

Fantastic looking car by the way mate, i'd be tempted to put the back up a little or lower the front a tad though as to get a bit of positive rake.

If you lower the back more it will squat it's arse and look like every other 'felt spec 306 ever!

[Owen_G_]

Yeah INXS she's smooth. There apex' s so they aren't cheap dung.

[Piggy]

I didnt say they were cheap, or cow excrement at all! Just the wrong springs for a 306!

[pioneer DJ paddy]

[Piggy]

No egr on ph1s.

Gotta boost leak Owen?!

[Owen_G_]

No leaks. Changing the turbo tomorrow to another t2 so I will let use know.

[Owen_G_]

Cars got a new turbo now (T2) old one's fins where ruined and jammed the wheel. Boosting 22psi now and going well

[pioneer DJ paddy]

Good to hear man :-) glad all is going well can wait ta finish my twin turbo project ta see what she boosts lol

[Owen_G_]

I'd say she will be a rocket ship to

[7057sam]

Looks great,prefer clones over most things but the other wheels really suit a Ph1.

[Mattcheese31]

No egr on ph1s.

Gotta boost leak Owen?!

don't mean to contradict, but the late ones do have egr, my P reg for example

[Piggy]

Ah fair enough.
Must have been just before the ph2?!
