Cheers man appreciate that! If someone scrapped a 205 in this good condition they would be maaaad!
But yeah today i realised how painful the dual carriage way is in this! Really low ratio box lol

Then i finally got fed up with the temp gauge flying across the dash every roundabout so i cut a hole O:

Also got a new door pin for the drivers side so the light comes on when i get in. Little things ay
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Frosty - 23-09-2013
What gearbox has it got?
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Piggy - 23-09-2013
what temp is that reading?!
and that is a short ratio....that in 5th at 50?!
Looking ACE by the way
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Pugmarshall - 23-09-2013
I sacked that box off, I used to keep checking it was in 5th all the time!
Get a 1.9 box on!
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - strictly_perv - 23-09-2013
I always planned to fit it there Tom but never got round to it.
It's a 1.9 306 box but the small wheels and tyres brings the ratio down, a lot.
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Tom - 23-09-2013
2750rpm = 55mph!! O:
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Tom - 23-09-2013
The temp probe is just in the bay atm, need to mount it in the inlet where it gets a good passing of air so i know my charge temps but i figured without a cooler i dont even want to know
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Toms306 - 23-09-2013
The temp display isn't straight!
But otherwise, looks really good....and I don't normally like 205s lol!
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Midnightclub - 24-09-2013
IMO.. get a HDi box on there.. the longer ratios with the lack of weight will make it fly!

Depends which speedo drive he is using...
Id say if its really a short a hdi box would probs suit it more as it will return it to a more normal ratio..that said...I run a '6 box so cant really talk, short ratio FTW
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Tom - 24-09-2013
I was thinking today about my speedo being out :/
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - mr_fish - 24-09-2013
sat nav to get a rough guide? My 206 was 10mph out using the xantia gearbox speedo drive....went and helped myself down darrens scrap pile for an XUD one.
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - strictly_perv - 24-09-2013
Its a 306 one and on the sat nav it actually reads slower.

Darrens scrap pile is rather epic, i remember seeing it years ago before he had a tidy up, back when i first met him, there was a turbo "pile" and another wiring pile! Never seen so many spares!

I think that each time i've been down there I've gone over and routed through the mixture of tired/blown/robbed/destroyed engines and gearboxes. One day I'm going to be disappointed when they're all sent to the scrapyard in the sky
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Tom - 25-09-2013
Getting on a 4 poster on friday to get an exhaust on this bugger! Oh yay
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Piggy - 25-09-2013
exhausts are for pansies

My 306 was epic with no exhaust!
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Tom - 25-09-2013
It is epic but the noise is boring me a bit! Cant hear the turbo
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - padge - 25-09-2013
im still running stock mid/back box on mine! its silent lol.
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Poodle - 25-09-2013
Weld yourself something up out of scrap blagged from the local garage, it's what i'm doing. 2.5" straight through with twin-exit box for cost of half a can of gas and a few metres of reel? Yes please.

Oh yeah, fair point.

Oh that's normal lol, indicated 80 in the hdi is actually just over 70.
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Tom - 25-09-2013
If i had a mig i would weld one myself but i dont so have the luxury of paying someone else to, but i am fotunate to have alot of friends in the trade so it should only cost me a cake i steal from work and a few quid
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Tom - 28-09-2013
Getting shit done. Need ideas for a backbox?!

RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - strictly_perv - 28-09-2013
God I miss this car.
I really think a cheeky up/side swept exhaust would look good Tom
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - vtec power gt - 28-09-2013
So good to see this back on the road and still on this forum.
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Chris_90 - 29-09-2013
think just a straight pipe with a 2/3 inch outward rolled tip something not ott
RE: Joey the boosted 205 racer! - Tom - 12-10-2013
Still alive, had a wash the other day, my drive is pretty cramped so i park real close to the house and it doesnt leave much room for pics!
