Hi, just joint up but been reading PistonHeads and this forum for years. Never joint up before as the best car I had owned before yesterday was a 1.8 Si Ford Escort (its was partially stripped out inside with a good braking and suspension upgrades though).

Anyway, I picked this up yesterday and smiled all the way home. Have been in Australia driving an automatic Commodore for the past 9 months so got to get back used to using a clutch, especially because this car has a new one and a lighten flywheel).



I will get some more photos up once I have had time to give it a good clean, polish and wax. I will also get some details up soon about whats been done to it.

Looks cool on those wheels, are they Speedlines? Gives it a nice, business-like stance, and I agree they go like stink and handle nicely too! Welcome smile

Nice looking car that mate! Had one myself but sold it on a month or so back! Get onto 306gti6.com there's a wealth of knowledge over there, pretty much all you could want to know!

Already on there, bought the car of one of their members, very useful website.


Thanks for all of the comments.


Bit of a spec for you, I havent done anything to it yet, so this is all done by the previous owner.

16inch Compomotive MO1672 with Yokohama S.drive tyres
Avo coilovers
Upper OMP strut brace
Lower custom strut brace
Lightened flywheel and full pully kit
Roller bearing wishbone bush
Custom droplinks
Hybrid rear ARB
Solid rear beam mounts
Goodridge rear braided lines
Willwood 4 pots with modified rallydesign brackets to accept standard discs with dDS2500 and exact braided lines
Piper X Viper filter
Sports cat, Power Flow middle section, Scorpion back box
Powerflex lower mount
Home made catch tank

Previous owner had it rolling roaded about a month ago and it made 171bhp, so just up from when new.

Absolutely lovely I saw this on 306gti6.com - looks brilliant with the comps. Even makes the manstone paint look almost manly.

Thanks for all the comments, happy with it apart from a few problems I need to get fixed. Gave it a wash and had a mate (blackquat) take some photos of it.

I bloody love that! Moonstone has got to be the best colour Pug's have ever come in.

Wheels look superb.

Enjoy it!

BTW... the photo's are very very good!

Always refereshing to see someone who has concentrated on the handling/brakes rather than just throwing money at the engine and then worrying about the stopping and going round corners later biggrin

Nice looking Pug btw smile

Coopers old car?

I made the droplinks and strut brace for that a few months back, that's the first prototype low-profile one - might be a collectable that hehe

Aye, it nearly had my brake brackets on too but I'd only got one spare biggrin (bit of an oversight there, not sure what I was intending to do with one...) hehe

Wheels and brakes really make this car. Although going to repaint the red rear callipers to something darker. Engine bay needs a hell of a clean and hopefully some paint and colour coding.
