I've just bought a Peugeot 306 gti6 of a mate of mine in the village.

It needs a few minor bits and bobs for the mot, which I'll sort when the workshop is quiet enough.

Anyone run these as a track car?
Anything I need to look at?

Brakes! Always the brakes...
That's all in hand.

Was planning on running it pretty much stock until I get to know it.

When I said that the brakes were in hand, what I meant was; I'm a mechanic, the 306 doesn't currently have an MOT so I'll be going over it to make sure it's all up together.

Also it's been sat for a couple of years. The disks are quite badly corroded, so I'm changing the disks and pads as a matter of course.
It'll have a thorough service including cam-belt, as I have no history for it, and I don't fancy doing a top-end rebuild!

The tyres, although they have a good amount of tread, are knackered. They've been sat for 2 years and have a lot of cracking to the sidewalls, so they'll be changed before MOT too.

Still. Not a bad buy for 150 quid!

Thanks for the advice so far.
