Afternoon all!
I've re-entered the world of 306 ownership today after 18 years away!
I've bought a 2001 306 HDI Meridian, 94k, smells a bit like dog inside (no offence meant if the original owner sees this!! :-))
Anyway, the plan is to get this little beauty shredding front tyres on my daily commute to make things more exciting!
I require some help and advice from people far more knowledgable than me as i'm not sure where to start.
The spec is as follows:
Hoffman Full straight through pipe
Sportex back box
Powerflex exhaust bracket
Full FMIC Piping setup
SRC sports dual pass intercooler imported from Portugal
New BLOX manual boost controller
Real MOMO steering wheel
Generic 306 boss kit
D Turbo spoiler
17inch alloys
GTI front springs fitted approx 3000 miles ago
Custom carbon skinned boost gauge pod with switches
Carbon skinned facia centre console
Carbon skinned Lid on small storage in centre console
Running standard mapping
Alongside this spec I bought the car with the following spare parts the previous owner had collected:
R70 high pressure fuel pump ( larger one)
Larger injectors
Brand new 1.6 HDI HIGH FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR
Angel eye headlights - one needs a re wire
Assorted Peugeot bolts
Length of lighting cable
K+N Air filter
Studs and caps for clipping plastics down if they come off
Multiple 406 Boost Pipes
2x 306 intake manifold
1 x intake elbow to allow to attach intercooler pipe
1x standard intake elbow
New unpainted grill
The previous owner has done some wiring modifications (good on him for trying) but I believe that more harm may have been caused than good.
Present problems:
Cracked and scuffed front bumper
Drivers side fog lamp missing
General scuffs around sides and rear
Rear wiper missing
Aftermarket panasonic stereo which doesnt find any stations and doesn't appear to be able to be switched off apart from when ignition is off
Loose boost guage and switches in centre console
Boost guage does not show boost pressure
Serious cabin and steering wheel vibration after 85 mph
Heavy clutch pedal
Front passenger side light and headlight not illuminating
Dog smell!
So, thats where i'm at. A bit of a to do list! Nothing major though which i'm quite happy about. Cambelt and Water pump were done about 30k ago, and the car has great service and mot history, looks like it's been well looked after.
Obviously i want to get more power out of this. In your opinion, with what I have available, what is the best and most cost effective way of doing this?
I shall be cleaning up the outside and doing some other cosmetic pieces in due course and will update with pics soon!
Thanks for your help,
Jonny Derv Beast!
