Thought i would start a new project thread for this as I'm finally about to start changing this car from a daily drive to have more of a track/fast road focus.

So I picked the car up about 4 years ago as a stolen recovered car for £1000 with around 70k on the clock.

for the first 3 years of ownership it was used as my daily but about a year ago i changed job and I now have a work van so no longer need the car on a daily basis and it currently sits round the back of my flat for days on end being wasted.

unfortunately its been rather neglected up until now other than being serviced and having a new heater matrix its not really seen much action.

however over the last year as I've not been using the car I've been purchasing parts for it so heres a little run down of whats planned for the car

Reasons for the neglect are due to a few other projects I've had over the years but these have now gone and cleared the way for the 306 to be loved again

so once all of this is fitted i would also like to get a harness bar welded in and do some weight reduction

Looks a very tidy car to start with good luck with your project

Yeah I wasn’t really sure what to do with the inlet air filter as I was planning on fitting a full replacement undertray and making some kind of undertray splitter combo but dunno what people’s thoughts on here are about that kinda thing

Yeah I’m aware the best setup is the standard air box but I would always choose a KandN over that due to the induction raw you get

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Dunno if anyone on here has done it already?

Looking great Tom

Your going to be a busy chap m8

Nice work so far, let me know how you get on with the wheel studs, i'm after a decent set for mine.
Will you be out at the 'ring any time after April this year? Are you doing a trackday or just TF? I'll be there at the end of July for a week.

Goldie the track car.

I’m at the ring 26th-30th April and that’s all I have planned so far this year at the moment. I want to get a few other track days planned but I imagine they will be later in the year as I’m getting married in June so most of my money is going towards that at the moment

Tidy car, I always liked a nice clean Moonstone, wanted a HDi in moonstone back in the day before finding a clean China.

Maybe see you on track some time. I love the obligatory parts hoard photos.

I'm in Rugby, but obviously the tracks aren't local to everyone! starting to move to the further afield ones now she's behaving.

Have family in Goring-by-sea, head down that way every couple of months!

so managed to finish off the stud and nut conversion today and also fitted the 10mm spacers all round.

spacers will only be used with the cyclones which won't be used on track so its not a weight issue and i spaced the rears as the studs are 90mm long and just looked a little silly sticking miles out of the cyclones. it was purely for aesthetics. plus i liked the spaced out look.

So this turned up on Friday.

i will just leave this here as some major updates are about to come your way this coming week
