Ultimately I want a Westfield or Caterham - preferably a Caterham. But in the mean time I just want to make the pug sweet  I'll likely return it back to standard when I come to sell it tho________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

Group N's are for 205 and 106's, not available for the 306, But you can get the B8 fronts and use the Group N 205 rear's along with some Eibach's, I use this combo the most and have had it mine before. ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

From having the Group N setup on the 205 I can safely say it is quite a nice setup to have . Maybe a little on the firm side but if you do not go silly on wheel sizes it is still more than bearable (I was on Toyo R888s which are harder (sidewall wise) than your average tyre!________________________________________ Ex Owner of 2000 Phase 3 306 GTi 6 China Blue - You shall be missed1974 Triumph Stag 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 JTD Lusso 2005 Mondeo Ghia X 3.0 Estate LPG |
