Have you ever driven a car on cheap coilies? Say goodbye to your spinal column lol, would go for the shocks and springs myself. Especially if your missus ever has to get in the car too and you don't want instant earache every time. Wink

So what's new on the estate project?

RE: Project sensible - Dean - 04-10-2013

I lost count on how many 306's you've had so far.

RE: Project sensible - adamm306 - 04-10-2013

so you're the guy that buys all the 306's and is the reason I can't find any round here lol

RE: Project sensible - Dum-Dum - 05-10-2013

Soooooo Project sensible is buying a new 306 every month and never really finishing one.

I like your logic Big Grin

I cant even work out which of the cars in the thread is the actual project haha

RE: Project sensible - maxlee - 12-10-2013

lol it's back

the estate was to sensible and had a few problems so moved it

after putting the 1st project sensable up for sale then deciding to braking it.. wile waiting for some parts to turn up for my discovery as i had all my tools out i set about taking the engine out after a hour of every thing coming undone with nothing snappingthe old engine was out i thought so it i'll get it done the only thing that has broken is my camera! so pics will be slow!

but up date is the old engine is out and it is impressively fubarbed (will get pic when i can)
replacemnt engine is in front of the car with the timing locked off ready for new cambelt etc to go one just trying to find out if i can get a water pump with a metal propeller (after building/playing bmw's lurnt plastic ones are rubbish)

so following the flock and its been tried and tested i'm going to go down the tdo4 road replacement engine is out of a older car so has bosh pump already on it Smile

at the moment i have a 1.2 P reg corsa that is getting used as a small tip run van/to and from work car so need to get the pug done!

adam i haven't bought any peugeot 306s in the last 3 months so maybe you will have better luck finding one?
i am down to just one 306 now wont bore you all with the new cars on the fleet since i last updated this build Blush

so pics to come when i sort a new camera out

also whats the best value clutch kit? as why the engine is out rude not to put a new one in it
