Was bored so have decided to make a thread for my daily driver, a Peugeot 306 GTI-6

The car has been in my family for about 10 years now! My parents bought it when it was 3 years old and when my dad decided to sell I had to have it and have now owned it for about 2 1/2 - 3 years

When i got the car it had nearly 48k miles and ive just crossed 68k and have enjoyed every one of the 20k ive driven!

Its been on one track day and performed brilliantly during the open pitlane day at Bedford Autodrome. I did over 100 miles on track and the only bad thing was distroying some brake pads lol.

I will put some pictures of the small amount of progress over the time ive owned the car.
Ideally I would like to supercharge or throttle body it, but for now its spot on as a daily

As some of you know I have a Vauxhall Nova track car that takes most of my time and money but I couldnt help but spend some £ making some changes to this car

Anyway, enough talk! Il start with some pictures from when i got it through to the latest ones that I took last summer. Will add some more once ive given the car a well diserved clean and polish after the long winter months

The car when I first got it. Standard apart from a scorpion back box which my dad got to give it abit more growl.

Very high cars as standard so wanted to get that sorted asap!

167BHP 2 litre 16v

The car after a trip to Pug1off for a full suspension change which consisted of Bilstein B6 Shocks all round, -40mm Apex front springs and torsion bar lowered to match at rear.

A few more goodies where ordered to keep me happy

Also got some new floor mats to tidy the interior up!

A shot of the exterior in the sun.

My car with a mates Clio 182 cup.

Track day that I did with some R888s fitted which made a huge difference!

Got a few carbon goodies which included a rocker cover and fuel cap covers.

Decided to refurb the wheels and get some 50 profile tyres instead of 55s! Also refured the spare wheel lol.

Got some smoked angel eye headlights at a bargin price, which dont look too bad imo. I know some people think angel eyes have a 'chav' image?!

A couple of pictures with my Nova from last year. Will get some updated ones soon

Latest update is another visit to Pug1off

Wanted a tad more power so went for some Cat Cams, cambelt change while it was in, Gas flowed throttle body, Pug1off ECU re-map with the rev limiter set to 7,800rpm! Running about 190bhp now!!

That is all for now but im sure I will have more updates in the future. Thanks

I prefer the 106 but I like what you've done with this. Nice subtle changes, looks good.

Thanks to a lad on the 306 GTI/RALLYE forum I now have new black masked headlights which look much better imo! Got those fitted a few weeks ago and decided to give the car a good clean and get some pictures!

Hope you approve :thumbsup

Booked this a few months back with the intension of doing it in my Nova but due to a few issues with the engine smoking and lack of money to sort it I ending up taking my 306 GTI-6 daily driver.

Did 115 miles on track which was around 50 laps in total of the SEN circuit at Bedford.

Car performed well throughout the day, only issues were the brakes fading after some spirited driving, but they need replacing anyway! The tyres were ok for Toyo T1Rs but R888s would have been better.

Enjoyable day with some interesting cars on track, had a couple of small battles with the fiesta st boys, not much in it tbh!

Was good to see (VBH) Vicki Butler Henderson filming for 5th Gear in a PUG1OFF 205, had a chat and a few pics with her!

A few pics from the day below and a link to all the pics
