as im new just thought id pop some pics up of the 306 enjoy

yes the lexus lights will be gone soon

Nice - I'd lose the pug 306 badge on the back though and not sure about the twin fart cannons - although to be fair I do agree with those exhausts on a Turbo'd engine as they won't sound loud and farty then.

Yes apart from the rear lights i like that , nice, what's the inside like .

the badges on the back have long gone the 2nd from top image is the newest one think that was just before FCS 07. as for the interior its pretty much standard bar the metal monkey dials and aftermarket gear knob and handbrake i would like to give it a nice looking retrim but that at the bottom of the list. il be replacing the rear lights with the stardard ones with a light tint. the exhaust is going as i need a quieter one, i though it would be even louder with sri engine throwing the gasses out? going for a similar looking exhaust because of the cut out on the bumper. ive still got some ideas up my sleave for the outside nothing like body kits or owt as i wanna keep it looking standard but with a few tweaks

A Turbo charger interupts the exhaust note and are much quieter than normally asperated exhausts - you also see benefits from larger bore tubing which is a no no on N/A engines.

Actually I didn't think that was too bad

The one part (apart from the lexarse lights obviously) I think looks tacky is that fuel filler

The 306 arrangement of bonnet/rad grille/lights does look nice though. Wish the 406 looked that good from the front - maybe I should just buy a Coupe...

the fuel filler caps were on the car when i bought it think there from ecosse as it has there lion logo on it

Laguna splitter too

DiaRees, did you notice it?

i really wouldnt fart arse arround fitting the turbo lump to a 306, is too much work for not much in return, you have to cut the bulkhead so the turbo doesnt foul it, build custom exhaust etc...
a gti-6 RFS lump is a much better option, cheaper and easier, and has the potential for more power, though you can get some good figures from tuning the 1.8 16v LFY engine too

nice looks sweet mate. the turbo can be loud though mine is loud as feck. the only box i have is a tiny power flow one 2 1/2 straight through de cated lol i luv it but am prob the only person in a 30 mile radius that does. dont listen to people sayin they are no racer they are if you know how to use it look forward to seein your progress

Nice car mate but i think you should lower that thing...
60mm saxo lowering springs and two nicks of the torsion bar leave her sitting well.

Them skirts are the only ones for a 306 and i like the colour too, moonstone blue is nice...
Can i ask a question, what is that cone thing on the grille?
Id lose the splitter on the back and the chrome number plate surround, also a single pipe exhaust is nicer imo

Looks like a real tidy example though, very clean... Health to enjoy!

airhorn?

The cone thing is either a ram air scoop for a CAI kit or a DVH (dump valve hole) from the dump valve so everyone can hear
