About time I updated this!!! The car is now back on the road and has been for a few weeks now.
Had a bloody nightmare with fitting the brembo's (read fail) but they are now on and working well, squeal a little as I pull up to a set of lights but I can live with that for now.
Had about a week of blowing boost hoses off but now seems to hold fine, even when pinning the 30psi gauge (post charger)
Engine does seem to get hot after any prolonged boost but soon drops off again so all good! And it holds water without using it!
This car seriously shifts, whisp of coal and its gone!!
Bloody rev counter still doesnt work which is pissing me right off, must be a break in the loom somewhere as I've had 2 different engines and 2 different sets of clocks. I'm hoping its on the engine loom which will make an easy(ish) swap. How do these work on the 306, is there a constant voltage that drops to 0v when it picks up from the fly???
Bodywork is desperately in need of attention, the bonnet has peeled paint everywhere, there are dents in both doors, etc. I think I may end up respraying her over the winter - or reshell if I can find a decent black P3....
The fuel system is drawing air in over night too which is a bit of a PITA but should be easily sorted, I will probably sack off the stock filter for inline like before. Anyone used this type: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-10MM...53ff419aa9
I will try and get some videos on the go soon as well, new phone has meant that my dash mount no longer fits
