The inner skin of the doors, still got the inner skin on the bonnet too.I'm tempted to just get a composite bonnet and boot, and maybe doors but i don't want to pay hundreds for them, i'm having a break from spending on the car for a while. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

I picked up a second hand carbon fibre bonnet for just over a hundred pounds. And it was near mint. There are still bargains out there.________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport |

I don't want to spend much more money on my track car for a while now, it's getting daft how much i've spent on it and i should really be saving more for a house. If i do decide to go that route i'll be in touch though.  ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

Well had a class day at croft yesterday. Rain held off all day as well what was good. Had a good session with a 205 mi16 on jenveys running 198bhp. Could have been past a couple of times but had to let him back in for the corners but was nothing in it!   couple ofther pics from the day:                650bhp range rover  ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Not too bad some of them but the likes of my two mates who are 380bhp are just insane there was a white one i was having abit battle with for a few laps he came past, got him back on the next lap then he got me the lap after. then there was a silver one, dont know what was going on but didnt seem to be fast at all  Think i will get myself some slicks, bigger TB's soon. Car handles well and my brembos i could out brake just about anyone in my group, may just be because i have no fear tho ABS was keep on kicking in on the same corner just about every lap what was making breaking hard bit a managed ok.________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

How does your induction kit compare to standard eddy?As far as i can see its not all that different in design, just the piping is routed a bit more linear around the top of the engine.... just curious Bet your 6 must shift a fair bit over standard with its extreme dieting ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!''

My induction set up over standard is a hell of a lot better, Much better filter and the silicone pipes are much stronger than the standard intake pipe. Waiting for FCS next week to get it on the rolling road. Hoping for 175bhp. Anything more is a bonus ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

I want a better induction note, really tempted just to run a cone filter at the end of my standard induction pipe but then it will be quite close to the floor and hence risk sucking up water in this miserable weather we are having  Yours is a CDA or whatever enclosed filter isnt it? How does it sound? Bit of a pricey setup all in isnt it? ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

There worth the money i think. Keep an eye out, you can usualy get 2nd hand ones quite cheap. They sound good. Not keen on cone filters at all________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |
