With the request from several people I decided to start this project thread

The story began in the long 1998 when my father bought his 205 GTi and I was the one to fix it. I was always in to cars; I would say more in to what makes them work than driving! With the 205 I have learned a lot about Peugeots, so when it came to buying my first car � I bought a 405 as I knew how to fix it. After saving some money I started to look for a nice 205 GTi, but just could not see anything that I liked at the time. So I thought: why not have a look at 306 GTi and Rallye? After a few years of Peugeots, I knew that the less stuff they had � the less there was to break! Rallye was the natural choice!

So in June 2004 I have acquired my Rallye � completely standard with just 35k miles on the clock



Things were kind of quiet for a while, until autumn of 2006 when I split with my girlfriend at the time and suddenly found the presence of free time and some disposable income. After reading on this forum how wonderful track days were, I decided to give it ago and went to Snetterton for a track driving course. I had a great time, understood that I can�t drive and had a lot to learn! So it was a new challenge: learn to drive on a race track and figure out how to make the car a bit more suitable for it

The result been what we have now:



Engine
- Kent PT81 cams
- Pocketed pistons
- Re-mapped standard ECU
- Homemade induction kit
- Lightened flywheel
- Blue Flame exhaust with Magnex decat

Suspension
- BAD dual spring 3-Way adjustable coilovers, 650lb main springs
- My own design solid top mounts with 2deg of extra castor and 1-4deg of adjustable camber
- Roller bearing wishbone bushes
- BAD 3-Way adjustable rear dampers
- 25mm torsion bars
- 30mm antiroll bar
- Solid rear beam mounts
- Negative camber trailing arms

Brakes
- AP Racing 295mm fronts with Carbotech XP10 pads
- Standard rear

Transmission
- KAAZ LSD diff
- Push type MI16 clutch

Wheels
- Various 15x7 with Slicks / Semi Slicks / Wets / Road tyres

Interior
- SD 6 point cage with extra mounts for A & B pillars
- Bucket seats with harnesses


I�ll update the tread as I have time and try to summarise the slow transformation of my car and the things that I learned in the process.

This is the best prepared 306 trackday car I've seen and shows what can be done with near-standard power. A real giant-killer it was a match for an Exige SC and Evo 320 at Snetterton!

Hi Dennis, anychance of a pic of your slam panle to see roughly where you have mount your bonnet pins, also, is your bonnet single or double skin mate?

Sold the bike an charged rallye an bought a caravan, midlife crisis or what!

This is the probably the best set up Trackday car i've ever had the fortune of passengering in, and is indeed responsible for some of my spending on suspension tweeks that is currently going on! Can't wait for some updates!

As most have said unreal car and driver.

Denis took me out in the car and i have to say i was scared how well it went around corners and stopped.

Put mine to shame, then again i suppose you need to know how to drive them too.

Like this a lot. Reminds me of my 205 a little actually as I've also tried to focus on handling and budget rapidness round a circuit.

Interested in the black art designs coilovers after seeing a reference to them in trc magazine I think it was. How are you finding them?

Do not yet have a picture of the bonnet pins. I drilled the holes for the pins in place of outside fixing for the grill and made the grill to fit over the pins – will get the picture later. The bonnet is single skin – no problems with flex.

Have you done anything to reduce oil surge now you have dramatically increased grip levels?

I only say this as my ZX has an oil pressure sensor as standard equipment, and on standard springs konis and Michelin road tyres I see surge without trying too hard at all

(It runs an RFS engine like yours, similar modified pistons, PH2 inlet but not mapped yet)

Bring on the Trumpets.

Easily a match for my Evo at Oulton. Probably running in the region of 330+bhp and I wasn't pulling away on the straights, as Denis could carry so much speed through the bends. Must have had 5 or 6 laps of lapping within a few seconds of each other, until my brakes gave up

Any updates on this mate?
