Looking at the panels I don't know which are the same/different. I know the doors aren't the same but what about the wings/bumpers etc?
2) Exhaust.
Is there a difference in exhaust for the cabriolet ie is it a longer system? I will be putting a GTi6 manifold and cat one on there soon
3) Interior.
Is the seats, carpet etc the same? I'm looking at getting blue S16 seats but I'm concerned about the back seat fitment.
4) GTi6 bits. (Most importantly)
I've seen that the GTi6 'box and inlet can be done. I'm looking at doing the gearbox first but I've heard that the GTi6 gearbox needs a new steering rack?
1) Anything behind the base of the windscreen is different. The only bits the same are front wings bonnet and bumper.
2) IIRC the mid and back box are different but the cat is the same.
3) the front seats would fit in a 3dr (IIRC) but nothing else will, the rear is narrower, the rear bench is narrower and sits at a different angle and the floor pan is different cos of the massive strengthening beams along the sills and the fact the car is a shorter wheelbase than any other 306 and s such the carpet wont fit.
4) you can fit GTi manifolds but yoll need a GTi6 cat to fit the exhaust. You could fit a GTi6 box but without the revs and power of the 6 engine its pretty useless and may mean your car isnt actually as fun to drive.
