		Yes, its a ph 2.5 diablo, which will inevitably see me gay, falling over, smashing my face into pavements and wearing inappropriate footwear, but im just glad to be back in a 306   
£400, 107k, Ridiculously large service history, needs new droplink, N/S wishbone, drivers window reg. Engine runs spot on, got an injector Ed Doe would be proud to own, so will be replacing this.
 
Here she is, ell;
  
Plans are:
 
Get roll cage ive half paid for fitted 
Fix droplink 
Fix wishbone 
Ph3 the exterior 
Strip the interior 
Fit my refurbed rear beam 
Gti inlet and exhaust manifolds with new zorst (decat maybe) 
Fit my clones with spec 2's 
Buy and fit adjustable top mounts 
Buy and fit new shocks 
Buy and fit buckets and harnesses
 
you get where this is going though....
 
Just need a small mortgage or a rich unknown relative to die first haha

I think youd be much better off with a 1.8 mate, we got an xsi its ok but not grate for the size and weight , good fun for a blip at the weekend after driving a derv all week though

It's fine, you live in the wrong area! I'm talking about Curt, Ed, Vaughn and Fooby. 
 
(I do realise two of these people no longer have Diablos but you get the picture).

		Right, so been an age since a batted an eyelid in the direction of this thing. 2 months without a paycheck saw it at the bottom of the priorities list. 
 
Anyhow had the MOT today. Failed, unsurprisingly. On; 
 
-Headlamp aim 
-Rear brakes worn below 1.5mm 
-Parking brake efficiency below 15% 
-Major leak of exhaust gasses 
 
 
Advisories were; 
 
-Front disc pitted and/or worn 
-Front tyres worn 
-Oil leak 
-No rear seats fitted 
-No rear seatbelts fitted. 
 
 
No biggie. Took the exhaust off today, welded up the holes, got the new fire ring ready to go on. Swapping the rear beam for my refurbed and lowered one. Fitted GTi front brakes. Just gotta put it all back together tomorrow. 
 
Also fitted my coilovers and eccentric topmounts earlier in the month, so winner there. 
 
Will get some pics up soon

		not to bad as a failed mot. all simple jobs as you know mate but just makes me giggle that everyone that has a ph2/2.5 has to make it a ph 3. 
carnt blame them really as ph 3 is the second best looking 306.
