Ive been on here a while but dont post much.Ive decided to make a thread for my daily driver, a Peugeot 306 GTI-6 Smile

The car has been in my family for about 10 years now! My parents bought it when it was 3 years old and when my dad decided to sell I had to have it and have now owned it for about 2 1/2 - 3 years

When i got the car it had nearly 48k miles and ive just crossed 68k and have enjoyed every one of the 20k ive driven!

Its been on one track day and performed brilliantly during the open pitlane day at Bedford Autodrome. I did over 100 miles on track and the only bad thing was distroying some brake pads lol.

I will put some pictures of the small amount of progress over the time ive owned the car.
Ideally I would like to supercharge or throttle body it, but for now its spot on as a daily Big grin

I have a Vauxhall Nova track car that takes most of my time and money but I couldnt help but spend some £ making some changes to this car :thumbs:

Anyway, enough talk! Il start with some pictures from when i got it through to the latest ones that I took last summer. Will add some more once ive given the car a well diserved clean and polish after the long winter months Wink

The car when I first got it. Standard apart from a scorpion back box which my dad got to give it abit more growl.


Very high cars as standard so wanted to get that sorted asap!


167BHP 2 litre 16v


The car after a trip to Pug1off for a full suspension change which consisted of Bilstein B6 Shocks all round, -40mm Apex front springs and torsion bar lowered to match at rear.


A few more goodies where ordered to keep me happy Smile


Also got some new floor mats to tidy the interior up!


A shot of the exterior in the sun.


My car with a mates Clio 182 cup.


Track day that I did with some R888s fitted which made a huge difference!




Got a few carbon goodies which included a rocker cover and fuel cap covers.




Decided to refurb the wheels and get some 50 profile tyres instead of 55s! Also refured the spare wheel lol.




Got some smoked angel eye headlights at a bargin price, which dont look too bad imo. I know some people think angel eyes have a 'chav' image?!


A couple of pictures with my Nova from last year. Will get some updated ones soon :thumbs:




Latest update is another visit to Pug1off Big grin

Wanted a tad more power so went for some Cat Cams, cambelt change while it was in, Gas flowed throttle body, Pug1off ECU re-map with the rev limiter set to 7,800rpm! Running about 190bhp now!!

That is all for now but im sure I will have more updates in the future. Thanks

Russbez, the b6s are great!had them on 2 years and love the way the car drives and handles!

I know the headlights are abit marmite but I got them very cheap! I would love some smoked standard ones but I understand theres not many of them around, unless anyone has some for a good price?

Headlights are gash!

But the rest of the car is stunning. How'd you get it so shiney!?

Thats the one thing i miss about my diablo, those paint types seem to polish up and come to life so much better under treatments than manstone!

They should have fitted B8 on the front as these are suited to lowered car's, B6's are for std ride height so these won;t work as well, you should find the rears soft too which is why I never use them personally and go for the Group N version's, same price too

Nice and clean thou
