Peugeot 306 - 1360cc of raw power.

[Jam Spavlin]

So the plan is.....

[PhillipM]

New fluid, probably some braided hoses, some machining to allow anti-knockback springs fitting behind the pistons, probably switch the residual pressure valves over from the 306 and bit of general servicing and adjustment, if that fails start switching the pad compounds.
I'll probably go to 2-piece front discs because the stock ones weigh a ton.

Hmm interesting I have some brembos for my 306 and as you say the discs are horribly heavy would you consider making two piece discs for other people I.e. me?

[PhillipM]

Maybe, although probably would just do them bolted 2 piece discs instead of floatiing like last set.

[PhillipM]

Well, just had a blast up to the workshop with the 306 to start stripping her down, and, to be honest, I was grinning like a loon all the way.

I'm about a hairs breadth away from selling the 406 on and keeping the 306 at the minute, I'm not sure I want to strip her down

[PhillipM]

I'm warming to it, mainly for the engine noise

She's even had a polish and wax, slightly spoilt by condensation in one headlight...

[dredge]

A new number plate would tidy the front up, the rest looks great!

And the fate of the 306?

Still sat quietly in a corner of the workshop, sulking.

Yep, new plates, and the front one cutting slightly shorter moving up to match the line of the grille, officer.

Poor thing, made a decision on it yet? or just pondering on it's fate still?

[PhillipM]

It's going for parts, some of it already sold, just haven't been able to strip it 'cause there's a racer in the way

Of the off-road variety with two foot of suspension travel?

[PhillipM]

This one only has one foot

[abbotsmike]

Pfft. Amateurs.

[PhillipM]

And two of those great big beam axles.

[abbotsmike]

LR Defender?

[PhillipM]

Mattserati.

Tube frame and fibreglass body with LR bits for suspension and steering.

[PhillipM]

Well, she was shiny and clean, now it's covered in mud and dust, bleedin' hooligans...
