Well it's about time I posted this. I've only had the car a month or so! So after my old 306 spat out a conrod and I sold the MX-5 (I just never felt quite... right in it. Bit too conspicuous for me), I needed a car. I always liked the look of the 306 estate, and wanted to try the HDi engine instead of the agricultural old XUD in my phase 1 306 I used to have. So I went and bought this for £770. 2001 Y reg 2.0 HDi with 110k miles on the clock. I took these photos after removing the horrible wheel trims and debadging it. I got some new shoes about a week afterwards... Then after about 2 weeks of ownership, I did a stage 1 remap with an OBD cable and a laptop. It now has roughly 120bhp instead of the standard 90bhp. In real-world driving it's about as fast as the MX-5, 20bhp less but a bucketload of torque! This map just alters the injector mapping and not the boost too, so no risk of the conrods going pop like the last one! Hell, people who tune the XUDs to silly levels use HDi conrods because they're stronger! This weekend I did a popular exhaust mod. I converted a centre section into a backbox, because it's freer flowing than the backbox. I needed to replace my centre section anyway, and I also found out I needed to replace the backbox... So, the new mid section went in its proper place and the old one got the end trimmed off to make it into a backbox... Some creative use of an old exhaust hanger and threaded bar later... It exits in an awesome place on the estates. This is because the back end is so long you have to cut it after the kink. I then tidied it up with a bit of chrome trim. :D I also replaced the driver's side wing, which looked like it was repainted by Stevie Wonder... That's how it stands today.
