Basically use it for B road thrashing and track when I get chance, done 30k in it over the year Ive had it so it gets driven enough. All in all Im happy with it and plan to cage and cam it over the winter which should see 200
bhp as its currently at 185bhp.

Unique and a special bit of kit. Well done mate!

Very nice, I still miss my 106 Rallye (1600)

[ben306]

cheers ppl.

yeah, it does enjoy a good thrash. and loves the trackdays even more. End of the day, Ive bought it and modded it to be driven hard, and I couldnt have picked a better car for the money really

v nice, have seen it on 306gti6.com many a time. Would be better if it was black though.....

Wow. Proper nice dude, dont see many of these about in good condition like yours. Looks great, top work dude!

Very smart! Nice to see another Rallye on the site.

How does it handle on the track? Can you hang the back out easily? Watching a couple of GTI6s at a trackday recently they were having real problems controlling the lift-off oversteer, resulting in quite a few spins. By comparison, my 106 and a few of the other guy's 205s seemed much more predictable.

80-100mm is quite a drop! It looks good on it though.

If the group N exhaust for the 306 is anything like the 106 version I bet it sounds lovely too.

Where you at Donnington on the 31st august? I remember seeing a car very similar to yours if it wasn't you.
