hello all! whats wrong with my account?

[welshpug]

I guess I should put some pics of my cars up...

This is one project, actually the second shell as I had an accident in the first, these are originally the RFY S16 engine and box, brakes, but stiffer springs all round, slightly narrower front track, more front camber, and zero rear toe angle.

Though its currently got an RFS gti6 engine, newman ph2 cams, standard inlet currently, but do have a satchell inlet and jenveys, and a dta ecu.

AST sportline 1 coilovers, koni rears and 23mm torsion bars, berlingo wishbone bushes.

gti6 front and rear brake calipers, xsara driveshafts and gearbox, pugracing gear linkages.





this is the old one.





this is currently the daily drive



1.9 8valver on 165k miles, original very healthy engine, mild piper cam, Motronic MP3.1 engine management, mi16 flywheel and clutch, magnex 4 branch manifold and a longlife 2 box mid sport exhaust.

standard rebuilt gearbox with an AP suretrac ATB diff.

Bilstein "challenge" spec front dampers (inverted dampers) gravel rear dampers 21mm torsion bars 22mm arb, currently rolling on Michelin Alpin A3's on C5 wheels, standard 1.9 brake setup with 1144s up front.


and here's the other one.

100k ish standard phase2 2.0 405 MI16, not actually seen the car in over two years as its in storage.





I'm currently a bicycle mechanic by trade, though I do have motor trade experience in HGV' and Vans, have been messing with cars for a very long time.

I service on events for a Saxo vts, which has developed over the last ten years into something fairly quick, a BE4 boxed 170 bhp TU5J4.





The owner Garry Elswood had come to the point of thinking more power or a sequential gearbox, both would have cost into 5 figures to do properly in reality, so he went and bought this last week instead, which has all that.




We mainly do Belgian stage rallies, as they offer so much more than the UK ever will, and its really not that far or much more expensive, if at all.

I have also serviced for a few mates in the uk that run fairly basic spec 205's, one a 1600 9 valve and the other a 1.9.

And as well as that I have helped a few mates build some pretty cool road cars, namely Goliath and his V6 engined 205's, AdamB's 306 rallye V6, and several of DCC's 8 and 16v engined 205's.


I can do rear beam rebuilds, its the very first job I tackled when I jumped headfirst into 205 ownership some 8 years ago, it didn't phase me one bit even with all these tales of them being horrendous jobs, they really aren't difficult at all!!
