Well im back in a 306 after 4 years in a 106 and im actually enjoying it !! The 306 isnt as raw or as nimble as the 106 but its still a good ride.

Anyway, heres the pics from when i bought it:





Is not in the best condtion, but it runs well and looks alright !!

Its currently lowered on Spax suspension, which i must say is shite !! Defo needs changing soon. Its also got a Magnex cat-back on it aswell.

Ive given it a damn good wash and valet so its looking rather nice now. Ive also changed the wheels as those 205 ones did nothing for it !!




and heres one with my old beast !! Sad


To do list:
change suspension for coilovers of some sort - not decided yet though.
throttle bodies and DTA management
GTI-6 exhaust manifold
de-cat
and then ill prob do some body work to tart it up a little !!

Hope you all like the car. (and if you dont Razz Razz )

Tom.

The XSi's are a nice car, I converted my old one from a phase 2 towards a phase 3




So how come you decided on an XSi rather than a GTi or Rallye, especially after owning a 106 Rallye?

went for it as it was local and cheap, andi wanted something comfortable and good on fuel !! Big grin plus if i went for a '6' id be more inclined to spend a shed load of money on it (can i here supercharger ?? Whistle Big grin ), but with this theres less chance of me spending loads!!

abit of a backwards way of thinking, but im sticking to my decision !! Big grin

But you intend to chuck 2k worth of coilers, bodies and management at it? Unsure LOL
