Let the pics do the talking A new pair of rear lights and I dyed the trims black instead of disgusting grey! Basic spec: GTi6 engine Lightened Flywheel Lightened bottom pulley Xsara VTS box Petert stage 1 cams PLR tarmac springs Koni adjustable front dampers Bilstein group N rear dampers 22mm bars 24mm ARB GTi6 trailing arms 309 front arms SL434 wheels ;P Soon to be a low boost rotrex RE: 205 gti6 - karl1989 - 08-10-2013 Little machine is this. Top work RE: 205 gti6 - Piggy - 08-10-2013 shwing RE: 205 gti6 - strictly_perv - 08-10-2013 What happened to the silver one? RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 08-10-2013 RE: 205 gti6 - Scott - 08-10-2013 I don't suppose you're from Reading are you? RE: 205 gti6 - karl1989 - 08-10-2013 What engine is in the red one RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 08-10-2013 I am from Reading, well near enough any way. Why's that? The engine in the red one was a 106 gti engine, then a 6 and got a feeling he's putting a v6 in RE: 205 gti6 - Scott - 08-10-2013 Ahh right, I was wondering if you were Hovis' mate Paul, or just another Paul who happened to have a 205 GTi-6. I think I've met you down at Ace actually RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 08-10-2013 I know hovis well, he's a very good mate of mine! You may of done mate RE: 205 gti6 - Pugmarshall - 09-10-2013 I like this! What does it handle like? I'm after a setup for fast road, not sure what to go for... RE: 205 gti6 - Niall - 19-10-2013 Very nice looking car mate! Ive been thinking more and more recently about getting my self a 205.

Handles bloody well mate, scare myself every time I go for a sprinted drive! I'd go for bilstein groupN shocks. PLR tarmac spec springs paired with 21/22mm TB's and group N rear shocks. Also a bigger ARB (19-10-2013, 08:51 PM)Niall Wrote: Very nice looking car mate! Ive been thinking more and more recently about getting my self a 205. Do it! Get one that's been "renovated" first as things can get costly. Beams etc.. but no difference from a 306 really. 309 wishbones on the front make a nice touch, bit of neg camber. I find 306's to be a bit snappy when driven on the edge 205 gti6 - devils_fuel - 19-10-2013 That's nice, I'm not usually a lover of 205's RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 19-10-2013 Thanks RE: 205 gti6 - Craigus - 19-10-2013 Looks smart! What wheels are they? RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 20-10-2013 Speedline sl434 mate, you can get wider ones for a 306 RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 24-11-2013 My patience is running rather low with this at the moment. The temp went off the scale in traffic in the summer as the fans didn't kick in and since then it's been going into the red quite a few times. I've just changed the thermostat and fan switch and it still goes into the red and the top thermostat pipe is full of air despite bleeding the system numerous times. Thoughts are to buy an engine off a mate which has the petert cams. Or a standard engine off another mate Or stick the derv engine in with the Td04 RE: 205 gti6 - procta - 24-11-2013 paul, how plug in play is that conversion? I bet you shock a few people too, with it been a well tooled up retro classic. RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 24-11-2013 Pretty straight forward to be honest. Just a couple of clearance issues and the exhaust manifold needs re angling Oh and wiring! Getting an engine off rryan on here going to plonk that in Sell mine off for spares. RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 22-12-2013 That would explain the jumpy speedo! Everything apart from exhaust bolts and driveshafts are undone RE: 205 gti6 - Tom - 22-12-2013 That looks quite a tight fit! RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 22-12-2013 Loads of room There's actually more room to do the cambelt in a 205 than a 306 RE: 205 gti6 - Tom - 22-12-2013 Not had to do the 205's yet luckily! RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 20-01-2014 Almost ready for the road. Got a driveshaft that fits now RE: 205 gti6 - ozonehostile - 20-01-2014 I knew I'd seen it before, had a nosey around it at Pugfest :-) RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 20-01-2014 Did you now! RE: 205 gti6 - procta - 20-01-2014 what's it like getting the power down to the front wheels? RE: 205 gti6 - Paul_13 - 25-01-2014 Fine mate, only spins up if you give it some real shit. Drove it to Ace and back with no MOT on it ... whoops didn't realise it run out on th 4th Got a rear beam bearing kit and shafts on order as the beams fubar'd RE: 205 gti6 - procta - 25-01-2014 (25-01-2014, 10:31 PM)Paul_13 Wrote: Fine mate, only spins up if you give it some real shit. mine can be a bit like that depending on the road conditions, I bet you have shocked a fare few faces too! As people wont expect something as old as this to move! |
