This is my thread for my diablo GTi 6.
When I got her she was pretty standard, only mod was an K&N induction kit. It gave her a very nice purr!
On the phone sorting the insurance so I could take her home!

I have since added wind deflectors and removed the badges and rear wiper. I am going to get a Gti 6 badge for the back.[attachment=2]
The next bit was the exhaust! I needed to beef it up! With help from my bro (strictly_derv) I say help, I was helping, he did all the work!
Original exhaust

Old Vs New! Sportex performance race tube. £155 new (photo of just the mid section, back box had already been fitted at this point)

I made some videos so I could hear what she sounded like. It's hard to hear when you're driving as it now SO LOUD!

I have really noticed a change in performance; faster and more responsive, can't complain!!
My next bits for the beast are:
- Drop her by 40mm
- ph 3 boot
- GTi 6 bage for the back
- Crystals
boooootiful!!
looks and sounds nice! Is the only reason i'd own a petrol... for the noise

Thank you :dance:
It's costing me around £80 a week in petrol at the moment... :|
Looks good. Another one for the diablo 6 group.
Looks nice, always helps having someone else around to give you a hand!
:thumbup:
Just as one departs...
I believe your brother has negotiated my bootlid for your car on your behalf
I'll be speaking to him at some point tomorrow to organise collection etc.
Looks nice, and sounds really good from the video I watched
Congrats!

Oh, Hi!
Sorry to hear about your 6 :cry:
The boot will go to a good home!
Are you on the hunt for another?
Same exhaust system as mine! Sounds lush
Looks good. Sounds nice too. Alot of '6s popping up recently

You're insulted if I do, and insulted if I don't; this is the easiest game EVERRR! :roll:
This car is more win than yours though, because you STILL haven't MTFU and got a cannon for an exhaust yet
That is really nice! Congrats! Gonna have a listen to that vid, was contemplating getting a Sportex de-cat pipe!
Sportex make a de-cat pipe?! linky please
Looks good & the exhaust sounds awesome!

my diablo 6 was costing me around £70 a week. But thats for about 350 to 400 miles each week. I'm leaving in an hour to go and pick her up from having a late 11th birthday present. An LPG conversion. I'll now be spending around £35 a week on gas!
so so so excited! Your car looks very clean by the way. Good choice of mods too. Like mine looks standard but has quite a few suttle changes. Gti6 badges as available from pug or ebay for around a tenner for ph3 ones.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the LPG conversion?
I like working on this car because it's sort of the car I always wanted when I had 306's but could never afford
untill I got my XUD 205

So this is also your toy?! good man :clap:
This is far too sensible, quiet (bar the exhaust), comfy, refined, air con'd, PAS'd to be a toy! The 205 is none of those :violin:
Looks awesome :-) and only just up the road from me!

How's it running on the conversion??
^^^ Yeah good question, always wondered how these would be on gas. Modern engines usually don't like it...
Sweet '6 by the way, welcome to the forum
Ph2 diablo FTW very nice example, you have bought the best 306
(let the abuse begin)
i dont know why they 6's are costing people so much mine costs me £30 a month in fuel and £0 in the winter
lol
