OK, so what next?? - General Forum - Peugeot 306 GTi-6 & Rallye Owners Club

Post #1

Having the Rallye pass it's MOT today and back on the road I'm wondering what to do to it next...

Already has...

Refurbished front suspension (rods/bushes/mounts)
Bilstein front/GAZ rear shocks
Braided brake lines
21mm Torsion bars
17" OZ's
Quickshift lever
strut brace
K&N induction kit
Momo steering wheel
Scorpion exhaust system

Having strong feelings towards fitting a Maxi kit in the longer term but wondered what you guy's thought about more shorter term mods that would make a difference....

Any thoughts??

TT

Big brakes I reckon. I'm not really a fan of the maxi replicas

Thanks folks...

Brake-wise the plan is to use the front 4-pots from my Skyline GTR when I fit the Wilwood 6-pots I have waiting to go on. Should take care of front braking.

Like the diff idea...will keep my eyes peeled!!

I'll second the Rich W flywheel & crank pulley suggestion. It really makes the engine so much keener to rev with these fitted.

I would definitely put a Xsara VTS steering rack in - I've done that to mine and it is epic. I'd think about a Quaife diff and maybe the flywheel/crank pulley as these mods add to the lighter/keener Rallye concept.

Second the better rear dampers suggestion.

Wouldn't do the Maxi kit. You can go too far with a car with mods for the sake of it. A well-sorted Rallye is brilliant without over-egging it.

Some cavity and surface wax on/in underside bits to protect them is a good idea.

Also, give it a really good polish and clean inside and out, drive it and enjoy it.

I was tempted with the maxi kit and wide track but had concerns has to how long it was going to last has a road car before it started getting damaged. I spent the money on big brakes and wheels and hopefully decent tyres in the end and hopefully getting it finished for pug fest

Noticed a guy on Ebay doing VTS racks...

ebay.co.uk/itm/POWER-STEERING-RACK-RHD-CITROEN-BERLINGO-XSARA-ESTATE-PEUGEOT-PARTNER-TSK5023-/121731678042?fits=Model%3AXsara%7CCars+Type%3A1.8+VTS&hash=item1c57c5ff5a:g:ZHsAAOSwyQtVzvAJ

If they're £85 new (WITHOUT exchange) why are these going for big money on here??? is this the same rack?

TT

Post #13

TT - I don't think that is a proper VTS rack. The Xsara VTS came with the 2.0 not a 1.8 as stated in the ad, so I suspect that'll be a standard Xsara unit.

They fetch big money on here because proper ones are rarer than hens teeth!

Yes. Although I've moved it back and left a little nearer the exhaust manifold so I don't suffer from throttle body icing in the winter...

I'm sure 15" wheels and the best tires available would improve the drive no-end...

Post #22

I always thing aftermarket 15in wheels look lost in the 306 arches

Spot on! nice lightweight 7x15 alloys with decent tyres will make a massive difference over the standard cyclones Thumbs up
