Hi everyone, saw this site a while ago and just remembered it. I've got a Peugeot 306 Rallye in cherry red, luckily not too faded - lots of them are Cherry Pink these days, that I've owned since 2011 and have done a lot of work on it. It is a brilliant car and I love driving it. It has a strut brace, seam-welded subframe, Citroen C5 'steelie' wheels (the 4.7kg alloy ones) and a Xsara VTS 2.6-turn steering rack. Not much done since mid-2013; we moved house, doing lots of work on the house, no good area to work on it, then had kids, but I've got more plans for it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the underbody work I did from over 3 years ago is holding up well (it needed some de-rusting soon after purchase due to horrible UK road salt). I plan to finish that by removing engine and fuel tank and repainting under these areas, and am thinking about a Quaife ATB diff. I'm also building a garage which will be great for working on it. It is also getting a refurbed rear axle with all OE parts and powdercoated correct colours in January. I've been in the UK for nearly 10 years. If I ever come back the Rallye is coming with me.

Cheers.

Welcome Mik.
Few Gti-6's to choose from here but I don't think that any 306 rallyes made it over. They're proper old school hot hatches and still a lot of fun, for not much dosh. Good to see the club for them over in UK is still going alright.
Current: Peugeot 205 GTI 16v  +  504 (Project)

Previous: Peugeot 106 Rallye (S1), 205 GTI Mi16, 206 GTI 180, 306 S16 (Ph1) & GTI-6 (Ph2) & GTI (Ph3), 309 GTI 16v, 405 Mi16 & SRDT x2, 406 HDi, 504 GL & 504 Break                     Citroën ID19, BX TZD, Xantia 2.0

Welcome.

Rally's are awesome.

I remember reading the EVO Magazines top 100 Drivers cars and the Rally scored well. I treat this as a bible as to whats good and whats not!

Would love to see some pics of the rallye. Something about a super light weight hatch with a happy engine really is a great combination!
