[Ryan]

Joey came over to play and i must say its awesome, awesome noises, awesome power delivery, awesome car...did i mention its awesome?

[Tom]

Yano if you waited an extra second i could of not ruined the pictures!

[Ryan]

you were the one bitching you needed a piss

[bashbarnard]

Wasn't this on the 205gtidrivers forum. Strictlydervs car? I followed in on there for a while I'm sure its the same. New to this forum though.

Yeah it was his car. I signed up on there but seems like such a dull forum i havent been on there since lol!

[bashbarnard]

True the guys are good for technical stuff sometimes but it doesn't seem as friendly over there. I've always liked this 205 though its why my Mrs now has a turbo diesel xud7 one.

[Tom]

I did some more, straightened up the backbox sort of, the more level it goes the closer the pipe gets to the rear beam tube so i didnt want to go much higher than this...



Put my front wheel caps on, didnt realise it can be done by removing one bolt, didnt even have to jack up the car!



Aaaaaand gave it a quick hoover, was full of mud/straw/general farm stuff.



Off to buy a fuel filter now

[Matt-Rallye]

Love that interior! In fact love the whole car looks so unassuming!

Proper wolf in sheeps clothing top bombing and may it be reliable for many many miles

What brakes are you getting? 266/283?

[Tom]

Im on 266's on the front and drums on the vack but the backs do nothing with the foot brake. Darren said they're just so worn out all the fiit brake effort is taking up slack. So im going to get drums and shoes i think. Just need to find some time to whip the drum off and check what braking system i have.

[darrenjlobb]

Video of what i got chance to record, not alot im afraid as was to busy / kept forgetting, but slight effort.

With regard to brakes, id whip the drums off first, see the condition of your shoes, im imagining they could be slogged right out, so get new set of shoes, then adjust tghem up, will explain how to do this to you tom on FB, and then save up and replace your front discs and pads, as there crap / cook instantly. Literally had brake fade after 1-2 60mph corner brake sessions..

[Tom]

We were doing more than 60!

[Frosty]

Great video as usually Darren. Always worth a watch. Looks real tidy job tbf

Running de-filtered i guessing tom?

[Tom]

Yeah defiltered sounds amaze balls. Might well do a guide on rear shoes so everyone know how to do them properly!

But yeah just picked up a couple stubby oil filters so i can wire up the gauges later! Yipee but on the other hand I cant find a fuel filter for the life of me

[Ruan]

Now you see what I was on about with "wide powerband" and "instant power" lol....

[deggerz]

That sounds bloody awesome

[Grant]

Great video darren. As always.

That sounds awesome, glad its all up and running finally

[Andy annear]

Epic video mate and sounds class!!!

[devils_fuel]

Smiling Tom??

[Tom]

Smiling Tom??

Havent stopped mate, i was smiling as soon as i seen it, my cheeks were hurting when we were burning up 3rd gear and im still smiling now. Done a few more hard pulls today and it really is impressive.

[devils_fuel]

Lucky shite . No excuse not to come to zacks on 4th April then

[Dum-Dum]

This makes me want to go and start bodging on my VNT to mine right now.

Tom your a lucky lad

[darrenjlobb]

Your going to shit your Y pants when you wonder what happens when you turn the fuel up hehe

Not that ive already tried that hehe to be fair though dont, as unless you regulate down low, you WILL tear the shafts out that car it develops WAY to much torque

And yes i beleive it is, at some point in the future. Theres no timeline on it though...

[td_dan]

Yep 1.6/diesel shafts with the matching diff in the 306 box

[Tom]

Im using a 306 diff... Its a 306 d turbo box, from a running 306.

[td_dan]

has the box been changed since you had it off max then tom?

if so he probably changed the inner cup on the longer shaft

can you get a pic of you aux setup tomorrow mate as im intrigued as to which tensioner you used as theres 2 lol

[Tom]

Yeah i changed the box and the small shaft. the aux is just alternator with a pretty short belt with the lollypop style tensioner.
