The 306 Dturbo has passive rear steering. so as the trailing up goes up, it turns it in. As yours has been lowered on the rear, the tracking will be completely out, totally fucking up your handling. Get it back up to standard. It is easy as. just need to pull the trailing arm out of the torsion bar and reset it at the right height. And do the front to match so it doesn't look dragster. Lowering a 306 is the worst possible thing you can do. A nice mod for these is an intercooler water spray. just get the pipe and nozles from B&Q garden centre and a washer pump from an old escort fits in the gap behind the battery. Have a switch on the dash to turn it on when you need a bit of extra power in the summer. On a rolling road i had 5 bhp from this mod and more if you put icecubes in too!! If you have increased the boost then also increase the fuel, look if your fuel pump has a black plastic cap on the front, you will need a long screwdriver and hammer to tap it undone as it is an anti tamper cap designed to stop you getting in. you will need to replace it after or a citroen XUD9 (Same engine) has a metal cap on the pump that is a better replacement as it will come off and on easier. remove the plastic cap off the front of the pump, with engine in gear roll the car forward to turn the engine until you see and allen key head line up behind the little hole inside. Turn this to increase or decrease the fuel. Only a quarter turn though!! And a de-cat pipe makes the world of difference. They are 90bhp standard, mine was pushing 126bhp with these mods, total cost less than £20.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

No it isn't, it has been lowered and changed it's geometry.

Bullshit.Ive seen 306s go in with perfect back axles,been slammed on theyr arse and then driven out with no toe in etc.The axle on his car is fuked.The axle bearings are shot.I can garauntee it.
As for your above post about the boost,thats only dependent on which diesel pump he has fitted.Could be Lucas or Bosch.
