nice car mate!

bigryrs · 01-11-2009, 02:32 PM

Lovely looking car!! looks too good for a track car lol.

pee vee · 01-11-2009, 02:40 PM

did a sprint day at a local air-field..

went quite well.
managed to get 3rd fastest time overall. only a couple of 400 bhp evos were faster lol
couldnt keep up with them im afraid!

about the only picture ive seen of it in the tight handling course part of the sprint.

bigmatt-s2rst · 01-11-2009, 03:51 PM

looks vey good
how rare are non sunroof topaz 1900's?
i have 1 in my garage, not as clean as yours but rot free and original

pee vee · 01-11-2009, 04:03 PM

Well, if you believe what you read on sites, then fairly rare. they made topaz blue GTI's for 6 months between 1989 and 1990

so all should be on G plate FROM WHAT IVE BEEN led to believe reading the 205 site

and to have one without a sunroof.. well standard GTI had a sunroof, so someone at the time of buying it had to order a special one without it..

mine is the only non sunroof topaz car ive seen.. although i do know of one or two other GTis in this colour around my area. but not sure if they have sunroof or not.

bigmatt-s2rst · 01-11-2009, 04:11 PM

yeah mines a g reg G205 MRM so its almost a private plate lol
this has ben off the road in a gargae since 2001, supposed to be breathed on but have never driven it in anger yet
bought as a non runner which turned out to be fuel relay all running now jsut needs a few jobs then ill prob test it
like i said not as clean as urs but theres no rot anywhere just a bit of faded paint and car park dings

pee vee · 01-11-2009, 04:16 PM

cool mate.. Topaz blue paint does fade sadly!

wouldn't take a huge amount to get that lookin better.
you can still buy all the plastic trim round the car and the red strips with all the mounting clips brand new (£240 i think)

that and some elbow grease and it'd look very good!

bigmatt-s2rst · 01-11-2009, 04:20 PM

sound ill look into that
rear beam needs a rebuild really so that will be first job i think
ill keep an eye on this thread, love 205 gtis, my first car was a silver 1600 gti at the tender age of 17

pee vee · 01-11-2009, 04:22 PM

www.205gtidrivers.com there are all the people you need on there!

rear beams are a bit of an issue,, but once rebuilt once, they are good for another 20 years... so its £250 well spent.

EDIT: and this site has all the spare body parts and engine parts you will need!

pee vee · 13-03-2010, 03:11 PM

Dragged the car out of winter hybernation lol

took all the kit off it and washed and polished it everywhere.
then put all new black plastic kit on it, new red stripe and all new trim clips to hold it all on with..

New kit going back on after cleaning.

bluntys1rsturbo · 13-03-2010, 03:25 PM

what power is this making fella? also have you had it mapped up ?

pee vee · 13-03-2010, 03:31 PM

yeah its all mapped. it makes 180bhp. engine is standard internals and head (150bhp standard) so the throttle bodies have made 30bhp. which i'd say is fairly realistic.

If i do another engine for it, it'll be higher comp, rev harder and have big cams in to get 200.. but current engine has only done about 6k miles. so unless i kill it on track this year, it'll be a while yet.

Rossco · 13-03-2010, 03:59 PM

Proper nice.

awesome mate thats a nice power output there i reckon you could break 200 with cams,higher compression and some headwork, i spent a small fortune on my old mg zr which i got to 192bhp on jenveys, 285s, high comp pistons etc etc. was a real weapon and sounded the nuts
