306Hdi Stage 1
 

So as the years insurance for the saxo ran out i decided to go for a new car instead of paying 1800 a yr to insure a furio.

Ended up with a 306HDI that costs £900 a year to insure so much better :)



And now after the alloys being swapped from the saxo
(ignore my mate on bonnet)

Looking smart! impressed you got a lower premium on a 306, i wanted a dturbo instead of my vtr but insurance said noooo, Nice wheels, you plan on lowering ? love these lowerd on decent wheels

Well i phoned round a good few insurance places most said " 2.0ltr and turbo so no chance" so phoned my original insurance and they said its a diesel much safer has a alarm and its not classed as a boy racer's car" So knocked the price down nearly 1k from the saxo was well chuffed.

Have alot of plans
FMIC
Uprated Clutch
Stage 2 Map
Enclosed enduction
Straight thru exhuast with decat
Carbon wrap roof / Door vinyl's / Spoiler
Smoked rear and front lights
GTI-6 Leather
Lower 60MM

But for the first few months im just going to go for a stage 1 map with decat exhuast

sounds like you have it pretty much sorted!

How many miles does it have on it? Just wondered how long it'll last once stage 2.

Only 125k These engines are good for 300k if serviced every 10k and this has

300k? rofl copter

Join up to the 306oc and u will see

Man I wish you'd left the cyclones on!

You'd be surprised. My old mans is on 270k-ish now and going strong. Still original clutch as well.

fair play then! and who said french cars dont last! :y:

Only decent engine they made was the 2.0ltr hdi

And the XUD. That's it.

Great cars

I took one in p/x and kept it for about 7 month in end

Was an estate and the amount you could get in was ace

Did 14k init problem free, just serviced it twice and changed drop links for mot! Only thing that a pisser is the higher tax ban on the pre 01 cars or 02? I know the last ones were only £90 a year :(

I would defo have another and wish I'd tried on sooner/when they were newer defo recommend as an upgrade from 106/Saxo

Not much of a update but i have bought a few things

Carbon wrap for roof/door pillars/petrol cap/spoiler
Decat pipe
Remap also booked for next sunday.

The car standard is only 90bhp after remap, panel filter and decat your looking around 125-135 depending on condition of the engine. Will be looking to keep stage1 for a few months then go for stage 2

New lights bought and Hid's fitted, driving to Bristol tomoz to visit ProSteve for the remap.

Wouldn't bother going stage 1 - stage 2 personally, just whack a front mount on an got straight to "stage 2" Heard good things about that proSteve

You'll love it. Only been a week without my d-turbo missing it!

Had it remapped, feels like a completly different car, spins it wheels in 1st and 2nd now and thats only stage 1.

Prosteve did a great job

How much was the re-map? On a standard ECU?

Remap was £120 & Yes the standard ecu
