Hi all,

I've been on here for a little while, before joining this site I've been on sax-p as I used to have the following car:







Rough spec of this was a '99 Saxo VTS, Jenvey throttle bodies, Piper Cams, Piper Manifold, Saxsport exhaust, Megasquirt plug 'n' play ECU, HiSpec 4 pots, Bilstein Group N suspension, Peugoet Sport 21mm torsion bars, Superleggera alloys and a Cobra bucket seat.

I broke the above for parts and bought a new Seat Leon FR+ for using for work.

I'm now in the position for a second car so have bought a '98 306 Rallye in Red - S276 FGC. Not got many pictures but this is the best one I've got:



I've replaced the following so far as it was in need of some serious tlc when I bought it:
- Headgasket
- waterpump
- idler and tensioner pulleys
- lightweight crankshaft pulley
- aux belt
- full service
- both new rear calipers, pads and discs
- all new rear copper brake lines
- new compensator valve
- new battery

In addition to the above, I've fitted the following to uprate things:
- Magnex stainless exhaust setup - cat-back
- PTFE inlet gsket
- Powerflex Black rear lower engine mount
- SPA gauges (oil temp/oil pressure and water temp/boost pressure)
- OMP dished steering wheel





Future plans are as follows to try and make it a bit more of fun car to drive:
- Replace all of the suspension with new oem items
- Powerflex Black bushes were possible
- Uprated front brakes (either new pads and discs, or some 4 pots - open to suggestions??)
- Quaife ATB LSD
- Take off and remount the front and rear bumpers
- refresh the gear linkage setups
- under-seal the whole car
- upper and lower strut braces (not sure that the lower will fit with the undertry)
- thicker rear ARB (maybe c.26mm)

Open to feedback and any suggestions on improving on the driving experience of the car, without going too hardcore.
