Knockhill is a good track, challenging but short and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. What date are you going up in November?....if possible, I could pop along with my mate and meet up as Knockhill's not that far from us. Is it a phase 1 or 2 VTS rack you've got there? I've got a phase 2 which is going into my rallye so the pipework is swap over job as well. We are up there Saturday 18th November. Me, Mark (sorrento205) and Mike (Mike306) are all booked on. My inlaws all live Lanarkshire way so I've been meaning to give knockhill a go for a while and this falls well as Im up there the friday for a gig in Glasgow. Its a phase 2 rack but got the pipework with it so hopefully a straight forward job for an afternoon. I just need to order some inner tie roads and TRE's as I may as well put fresh on before fitting it. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

So picked myself up a parts car, bodywork is very rough but very clean chassis so I can get a number of cuts from it that I need/want to make good the rallye in the future. Also means I can box up a number of spares as we know how hard to get hold of parts for these things now.I'll then plan to sell off parts Im not keeping/using to get some of my cash back  ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

I also fitted the VTS rack. Cleaned up and refurbished it with new tie roads/TRE's.    String lined it and sorted the tracking. Im on the limits of one of the TRE's so have had to remount the subframe/rack and little further over as it mustnt have been central.   Also fitted the "non squeal" Tarox disks that I've had on the shelf for 18 months as there was a bit of a gap until the next trackday, I can confim, they still squeal, perhaps not as bad but I also swapped the pads out for more road friendly ones. They will be getting swapped back to my usual setup for Knockhill next month   Then had to take it out for a bit of a test run with the new rack on the local B roads. Was all going fine until it blew off one of the new hoses, failed clip!!!     What a drive back thats was with short rack, no power steering and winding country roads, 3 degree camber etc Anyhow better clips fitted and now just need to find a few hours to head back out in it again. Need to make sure its all good to go before Knockhill (would be a long drive back without power steering) and we've also booked Anglesey now for just before Christmas to see the year out. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Run it parallel, tracking wise. A little 'twitchie' or 'tramline' on uneven roads but not enough to bother me, felt it more since fitting the quicker steering rack. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Great, have spoox ones in mine at the moment (where on when i bought the car) but don't fit properly so i think i am going to sell these on and get the baker ones as they look about as good as i can get. |

From all the ones I looked at, the Baker ones certainly looked the best quality. Along with the adjustment in them giving more over a lot of the others out there that might only allow 1 or 2 degrees.________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

So me and Mark headed up to a very wet Knockhill the other week. Unfortunately Mike ended up having issues and parking up his car just over the border into Scotland but still managed to get up for a few passanger runs.Belting circuit, preferred it in reverse (format was normal way round in the Morning and reverse in the afternoon) Go to try out the VTS rack for the first time and it was needed at a few points. Stuck with a semi slick track tyre despite the rain which made it interesting at times. Would head back up there again. Anglesey in a few weeks and then already started getting a few in the diary for next year with Oulton booked for the first weekend in Feb. Few captures of it sideway   ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Well yesterday we saw out the year with another banger of a day at Anglesey. 2 rallyes, a xsara vts and a legends race car.Managed to get in some belting sessions, cars all played nice. Been another good one this year for tracktime with some new circuits ticked off and already booking a few in the calander for the new year.          ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Well managed to get a more track time in so far this year.But in doing the usual check over and bleed up of the brakes, I had the fun of a snapped bleed nipple. Luckily I had a spare rear caliper to swap out    ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Then we got to Oulton last month. First time there, why I've left it so long to go I dont know, fantastic circuit and another to become a regular. Got a bit close to the markers, taking a few out with my wing mirrors. And Mike went full drift on us.                        My day finished with a minor mechanical when my wiper arm decided to snap in 2 and do one. It did however give me chance to get a quick snap of Marks spitting some flames   ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Aintree next month and Croft in May. Possibly a 3 sisters evening thrown in as well but would be good to try and get a few others in the diary.________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

So since March I decided to swap out the seats and harnesses for some newer ones. What was going to be an afternoon swapping them ended up being a few weeks of a complete interior tart up. The old seats I've had pretty much since owning the car so 18 years and being steel framed where quite heavy. Having took out the old seats I decided to sort out some rust, which turned out to be more than expected, and then remove more sound deadening etc. Add harness bar and door bars. Overall I ended up loosing around 20kg from the car.      How it started          Pulled up the sound deadening Uncovered the rust, cleaned up, chopped out and treated Fresh layer of paint and general tidy up          New Seats, harnesses, harness bar and door bars in      ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Sorted myself a fresh single wiper arm after the last one left the party at oulton park. Found I was also going through rear pads (set was lasting 2 trackdays) so decided to overhaul and renew the rear calipers etc. However Im still appearing to be going through them pretty quick! But managed to get a fresh ticket on it, no issues.    So standard test runs out on the local roads, be rude not to     ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Little areal delete     Then it was on to Aintree for a Trackday at the end of April      Unfortunately I ended up with a cracked windscreen and the starter motor died.   New starter on but decided to hold off the windscreen until after croft. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

So headed out on another early drive out for a few hundred miles. Cracking morning but noticed a fairly decent oil leak, had to get the manifold off again and turned out to be a sensor that was used as a blank. So swapped that out for a proper black but then was suffering from a vacuum leak, so new gasket on and fresh fuel lines.   Fitted the adjustable drop links  Headed to a local show   And made a start pulling apart the parts car   Just need to decide what way to go with one of the engine rebuilds. It certainly feels underpowered on the track now compared to modern stuff so would be nice to see it the right side of 200bhp but without it costing a fortune. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |

Croft circuit from a few weeks ago. Another belting day. Thought for a minute I may have been needing the spare engine sooner than I thought given the smoke screen it kicked out but thankfully it was only a split power steering hose that had chucked fluid on the exhaust. A bodge managed to keep me running the rest of the day and drive it home ok         And following croft I got the screen sorted   So just a spanner check to do, usual clean up of the brakes and general check over. New sunstrip to fit to the new screen and sort out a proper hose for the power steering. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |
