Had a red 309 GTI, now got a red 306 S16

[Ric Chalmers]

Hi all, Just got myself a '95 spec 306 S16, was looking for a GTI-6 and still am if anyone wants to sell for the right price. Gonna use the next 9 posts to tell you all some more so I can get on to the classified's!!

The 309 Gti was a road rally spec car in the UK and I thought I would see if an S16 was any better.

[Ric Chalmers]

So the S16 needs a few things to get it back to a tidyish spec.

So far I have found a rumbling knocking clunk coming from the front nearside, I only picked it up on Saturday so am yet to investigate further but I think it will be either, wishbone bushes, bottom ball joint, wheel bearing, track/tie rod end or anti roll bar link (which I can see is already rooted).

[Ric Chalmers]

It is also missing the dipstick, stereo, rear parcel shelf, washer bottle cap, piece of trim just inside the boot that covers the id plates, jack and handle and a sensible exhaust system.

[Ric Chalmers]

and it has also had a cheap crappy pod filter added which has left the battery assembly floating around, a rubbish go faster gearknob and a towbar!!

[Ric Chalmers]

Oh and it needs a bonnet stay.

[Ric Chalmers]

and it has been completely de-badged.

[Ric Chalmers]

and the small piece of side trim on the front left wing has broken one of the clips.

Yay, made it!! 10 posts now lets go shopping...............

That's just a dirty Mitsy not a Fast Frog!!

Could be keen on towbar if you don't want....

[Ric Chalmers]

Maybe, I would need to get a new back bumper if I removed the towbar as it would leave a hole where it used to sit!!  and its great for rear chassis rail stiffness, not!!

Check the top engine mount and cradle. S16s and GTi6s are notorious for it. Do a search on here and you'll find out more. We had to repair mine as soon as I'd bought it.
