Actually looks decent on vtr alloys!

Your the first person to EVER say that haha cheers pal I want some 15s for it really been looking at vts wheels they're quite cheap... Or 205 gti speedlines cos they look cool but they're bit pricier :/

[Foxy-jim]

I don't normally like them on the vtr's! Vts's would be ok. 205's are awesome!

[Tom]

Soo how much screen wash does it take to fill the bottle on a 306...

Quite a bit :/

[Tom]

New asda wipers best 6 quid ever

And ofc Cranberry autosmart...

Yes i took the picture from outside the car, it was locked and i thought im not gonna open it and let all the lovely smell out just to take a picture lol

[Tom]

Soo i'll add to this a little, I got some osram nightbreakers on the way And I have fixed the remote central locking yyaay..
Future plans are (because we all like to dream lol)
Fit nightbreakers
Get turbo to 20psi
^^ Adjust fueling to suit
Ground LDA pin hopefully from Dan!
New wheels
Better brakes cos the current ones SUCK
Sort out steering problem
Fix electric window << this is very high priority
Aaand i think that is all...
C+C welcomed and needed lol i feel like a loner

Looks bloody good mate! Is this the one that had the respray?
As for better brakes.. and yes this is a blatant plug.... i have a set of 406 brembo calipers with decent pads for sale.. awesome stopping power on a 306

I dont think it has lol but im not sure... needs a proper good detail really but im waiting til the summer for that I would be interested in the brakes but im on quite a budget for this project really, id need to get bigger wheels aswell

[4WayDiablo]

Just looks like the one that got resprayed in kandy red or something. It is close to diablo.

Im probably wrong though
Yeah you prob would need bigger wheels to fit the brembos under. You could always buy my 17 TD pro race 1's and lower strut brace too lok

[Foxy-jim]

Trying to sell all your bits! Good plans!

[Tom]

Oooo yay update:

Time to go fit these beautys, Bring on this evening..

[Foxy-jim]

Are the nightbreakers better then standard?

[Tom]

Are the nightbreakers better then standard?

I wouldnt know i had rainbow bulbs in before lol... The night breakers are good but not what i expected, i'd prefer the philips blue vision tbh :/

[Foxy-jim]

How much are those Phillips ones?

[Tom]

21quid or there abouts on ebay i think

[Foxy-jim]

Is that for 2 or 4?

[Tom]

2 lol spose you need a different type dont you..

[kingy]

ive fitted the phillips, i got 4 of em. very good bulb i think.

[Tom]

Well given the car a quickish clean today lol. After cleaning:


Covered in polish

Forgot to take a picture of the car after being polished lol might get one later :/

[Foxy-jim]

Ye guess I will new a different type. Will have a look later!

Car looks good!

[Tom]

Mmmmmm veg oil:


And the shiney ones from yesturday afternoon

[Foxy-jim]

It does look surprisingly good on vtr's! I think you should space the rears out!

[Seid']

Red risks?

[Foxy-jim]

That looks horrible!

[Tom]

Im gonna stick with the cream wheels thanks.. Craving some 205 gti speedlines.. or those gti180 wheels that everyone has...
It does look like the rears would look better spaced out a bit hmmm

[Foxy-jim]

You know I'm right haha.

[Tom]

Washed the car and got a quick snap of the rain-x doing its thing:


Aaand the new budget audio install cost me 25quid so far

[Tom]

Thought it could do with a tidying

[Tom]

Well i reckon an update is due....
First off that sub i bought is shit, so im using some gear i "borrowed" from a few friends will get pics soon..
Then yesturday i had some spare change and thought i'd pop in halfords and get a fuel filter.. on trade it was 4.08 i had 4.06 on me in change i was like great i'll put the other 2p on my card :facepalm: buut the lovely woman behind me given me the 2p so after many thank yous and have a lovely days i carried on with my adventure lol
Anyway got home and fitted the fuel filter:

That actually went well, proper job!

Then onto trying to find boost leaks so of i went outside armed with:

And the wellys and ended up with this:

And at the end of all of it no bubbles awesome
