Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Tmcilvar - 11-11-2014 To get the ball rolling, I used to own a Citroen xantia, sold it to buy this one off item ![]() ![]() When I bought her; ![]() Then started stripping; ![]() And how it currently sits in my shed; ![]() And my daily (*Awaits hate on how low and shit looking it is*); ![]() Collecting the xantia engine, (just for lolz); ![]() Any who, the plans in my head so far are, keep the standard wheels, fit the DHX xantia engine with inlet mani and nearly new valeo clutch (WIN) I bought for £60, 11mm bosch and td04, yes I know not really breaking any new records but should hopefully be 180bhp which should upset quite a few people! Thanks, any opinons or suggestions? RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Paul_13 - 11-11-2014 I'd stick some hdi rods in there. It will lessen the chance of the rods popping out the block and saying hello RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - madwelshman - 13-11-2014 I've had 2 405's, a 1.9GL and a 1.9 GTX. Lovely cars, smooth, nice and comfy for long distance. The GTX was a decent performer as well, surprised a few cars (and me!). Will RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Eeyore - 13-11-2014 £220? bargain! RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - madwelshman - 13-11-2014 Agreed. On to a winner from the start at that money. RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - pioneer DJ paddy - 13-11-2014 Good work man nice tidy yoke to :-) RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - procta - 16-11-2014 looking great! nice to see a 405 get some loving done! RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Tmcilvar - 17-11-2014 Well I have some bad news, and some good news! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Anyway, Im looking to upgrade the brakes on the front, because there solid disc's! I tried 306 dturbo calipers but the vent discs sat solid against hub, so maybe thinking of trying 405 dturbo hubs from the newer models Ie 1996.. ![]() RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - bashbarnard - 17-11-2014 That really sucks. Sorry to hear it. On the other hand though its a win for the 405. Thread title should be. Oh crap I crashed heres the replacement Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Sambarker - 17-11-2014 I have exactly the same issue on my 305 as they share the same front hub as the 405. I'm planning on using citroen c5 front hubs with 407 front calipers RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - madwelshman - 17-11-2014 Oh damn, sorry to hear that. At least you managed to walk away from it, even if the 306 didn't. Still like you say, sometimes it takes unfortunate events like this to gee ourselves up and get other things done. RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - zx_volcane - 17-11-2014 Wowza, lucky to walk away form a crash like that, glad you're ok A stark warning to anyone thinking that running without a compensator on the rear brakes is a good idea! RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Grant - 17-11-2014 As said, lucky with that crash! But silver lining that you now have more motivation to get on with the new daily ![]() Keep us updated! RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - JamesPT - 17-11-2014 Good to see your fine, Bud news there... And I'm gonna check my Brake compensator!.. Last time I seen it, it was totally rushed out! I doubt it even works. Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Sambarker - 17-11-2014 I got rid of the rear compensator on the c15 rear axle i fitted to the 305, luckily the 305 has never been quick or agile enough to catch me out....yet When it's pushing 200bhp+ I plan on perhaps fitting a bias valve on the brake line to the rears to even it out a bit RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - procta - 17-11-2014 bad crac on the 306 buying the barrier, but at least you can pull off some of the useable spares from it. RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Tmcilvar - 17-11-2014 Thanks lads, literally when it happened, I just laughed and pushed the car into a gateway and phoned my dad to come and lift the car. But at the end of the day nobody was hurt, well except for my ego haha.. Unfortunately due to circumstances, im having to put it the shitty stage 1 tuned engine with a lucas in to get the 405 on the road, as im stuck with no car, and being a student, no money either. @sambarker- what are you for doing with the master cylinder once you change to 406 brakes? Presumably your going for brembo's? Id like to change to 266mm brakes the same as a 306 hdi, but again they wont fit, so need to find out if even just 406 td calipers are 266mm because with slight use the solid discs and small calipears they will heat up and lose efficiency within no time, especially when Il be twice the power of the nad.. Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Sambarker - 17-11-2014 It's 407 calipers I'm fitting not 406 calipers. They are 283mm so will just use a 306 gti6 master cylinder RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Tmcilvar - 18-11-2014 (17-11-2014, 09:04 PM)Sambarker Wrote: It's 407 calipers I'm fitting not 406 calipers.

(Il get pictures tomorrow) RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - Tmcilvar - 01-12-2014 Well, I havent updated this in a while.. So i got the DHX Xantia built up a with a lucas pump and a spare t2 I had laying around, as i need this on the road asap! I have ran into a snag with the wiring, as obviously the 306 loom doesnt plug and play, Im using the current loom that came with the 405 but running in snags, as theres a plug and o ring connector which i dont have a clue where it goes as i took the previous engine out over 6 months ago.. So pictures! Engine built; ![]() Engine installed; ![]() How she sits atm; ![]() And wiring bits, the loom and the two mysterious wires ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And another update, a rev counter for her ![]() before; ![]() After; ![]() And last but not least, found out that she is pre-wired for front fogs so went and bought a gtx bumper for her ![]() ![]() And, saddly enough I found rust ![]() ![]() Oh, and started stripping the old daily ![]() ![]() RE: Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar.. - mr_fish - 02-12-2014 So much approval for the engine crane in the last photo. Good work, should be a epic barge when done! ![]() |
