If P6000 are very good, then Goodyear F1's are sublime. |

Removed all the manifold, front rocker cover etc as it was loooking a bit manky and replaced it with some shiney bits-Make your own mind up, looks great now i think-  Whilst on the ramp i sorted out the knocking on the front suspension, it was driving me wild and one reason why i pulled it from for sale. Sorted the exhaust and it now sits flush to the bumper as it should. Took it for a good drive on sunday and have to say it drives bloody great.

Yes much so has the lovely v6 burble and has more torque so is very easy to pick up from low revs etc. Its a weird conversion as its not a great leap in power but is very worthwhile.

Pootling about in 5th everywhere from 20mph is amusing. Mine is using quite a lot of fuel at the moment however. It is a bit heavier in the nose, but nothing that can't be sorted out. I noticed a bigger change fitting the Xantia V6 discs and brembos to the turn in tbh. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Carl Last q - what is it like on fuel on a motorway cruise? I guess it must be reasonable (ie better than a 406) due to the lower weight of the 306? |

Possibly one instance where drilled discs might be of benefit as reduce sprung weight? |

Carl Its not great in terms of power, but it is in torque. I know you are used to a s/c car, but its a huge amount quicker overtaking than a standard rallye. Anyway hope to get it out with a standard one soon to see any difference. The main thing for me is that it will hopefully be reliable as the engine is basically standard. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
