205 GTi6S - cheesegrater - 20-03-2013
Thought I'd put a small project thread together with the remaining photos I have seeing as I've somehow forgotten my dropbox password!
My car started off in a sorry state having been stood down for a good 3 years or so.

It had a poorly sounding 1600 engine which got swapped out for another 1600.

Once the massive hole in the fuel pump was sorted I drove it for a year.

I then got a tad bored with the 1600 and went for an XU10J4RS!
I decided to rebuild the engine whilst it was out, it seemed silly not to.

This was always going to be a fun fiddly job!
I also fitted a TTV flywheel because I figured Im not pulling the, comparatively speaking, heavier shell of the 306 around.

Got bored one saturday so I took the 1600 lump out!
I'll update more when I get the time!

Good work so far, what spec are you going to rebuilt it to?
The lightened flywheels are great, pulls so much more harder through the rev range.
RE: 205 GTi6S - cheesegrater - 21-03-2013
It was all rebuilt back up to standard. Found two bent valves and a cracked piston though!

Ah kl you going for mi16 5 speed box or gti6.
Think I've I had to reshell I'd love to put my lump in a 205.

It's got a VTS gearbox out of a Xsara, I've got a D-turbo box to go in now for the longer 5th. It's a good laugh!

6 lump in! It's a tight squeeze, exhaust manifold has to be reangled to save you tilting the whole lot. I took the opportunity to put GTi6 brakes and 406 master cylinder on, I figured more power, more brakes.
I ran this for about 10k and loved every minute. Had a few issues with the starter motor in the summer which I traced down to a 8'' section of solenoid wire out of the fuse box which had about 6 dodgy repairs in it!

For the suspension I'm currently using eibach 30mm progressive springs with 306 Bilstein B4 dampers and 306 rear dampers. Hopefully should have a new beam in the next week or so with uprated ARB and torsion bars.

Great looking project mate!
