My 205-Mi16- Jenveys Etc - Road and track car project

pee vee · 18-05-2009, 08:58 PM

Must be bored! here it is so far.
Had a 4x4 cos.. loved it,, someone offered me lots of money,
and i wanted to do track days,, so sold it.

got a 205.. rare-ish topaz blue, non sunroof 1900.

from a man..... in wales. lol

tracked it

put big brakes and better suspension on it

tracked it some more. but lower to the floor lol

blew it up,, round combe

so i then created this.

this lasted a short while.. before..

blew up.. some how one of the skirts came away from the rest of the piston at high RPM..

bit of devistation from this failure..

SO!
built one of these... again lol

which has stayed in the car, ever since!

these arrived one day.. so fitted them up

pee vee · 18-05-2009, 09:00 PM

took the stereo. and, threw it away. for something more useful

fitted some other useful bits while i was at it, too

tracked it some more

pee vee · 18-05-2009, 09:00 PM

which pretty much brings me up to date

20 years of use looked like it has taken its toll on the floor. this was the worst bit.. thankfully these old pugs dont really rust.. this looked to be a bodge garage repair from years ago.

So ripped everything out, and sent it away,,

and its now pretty much ready to be painted on the inside again..

pee vee · 18-05-2009, 09:01 PM

it goes Ok i spose, it really does need a proper map on it though really, and i'm also not
100% convinced that the cams i put in the engine are very good..

one of the next bits.

pee vee · 18-05-2009, 09:02 PM

before

after

and after that

ready to be sprayed up all nice again. along with most of the inside.

pee vee · 18-05-2009, 09:03 PM

couple of other pics i found

when we had the whole back end off putting the new beam on..

and we did away with the usual rubber rear suspension mounts...
and replaced them with nice forgiving (i dont think lol) shiny ali ones. lol
this makes the back end of the car really quite stiff..

pee vee · 18-05-2009, 09:03 PM

just before the lacquer went on
You can see the plate ive had put over where the rear seat used to go.. this will have the swirl pot and 2nd fuel pump
mounted to it.

and some other random ones i just saw on my photobucket account..

front brakes look quite big in this pic.. for a little car and you can see the oil cooler mounted just behind the bumper too (it now has its own cutout in the bumper)

pee vee · 18-05-2009, 09:04 PM

can see the little cut out i did in the front bumper, to give air flow to the oil cooler.
seems to work ok.. oil temps go to somewhere between 95 and 110 on track. depending on ambient temps.
so thats just about right.

james kiely · 18-05-2009, 09:04 PM

awsome little cars ,looks in great nick mate

pee vee · 18-05-2009, 09:09 PM

it is now

lol

just a few more bits to do.. as said I intended it for track use.. but its not yet got a cage. everything in time!

james kiely · 18-05-2009, 09:15 PM

my mate wrote his off two weekends ago as his codriver hadnt done some reccying,well thats what he says.

he lives and breathes these little cars

SiST · 18-05-2009, 09:49 PM

Very nice project mate. Should be a great track toy!

gingerman · 19-05-2009, 09:12 AM

nice project mate

CraigoScott · 19-05-2009, 11:14 AM

cool car mate

pee vee · 19-05-2009, 08:59 PM

just about back together now,
just gotta go get the fuel pump and then it can be piped up to the swirl pot.

just to keep it semi tidy i decided to re-new the side carpet bits too.

jonnyrsturbo · 19-05-2009, 09:12 PM

very very nice mate

Spiky · 20-05-2009, 02:27 PM

cool,

i'm moving my fuel swirl pot to underneath the boot floor, maybe you could do the same?

i'm waiting for the next BOOM picture

untill you put a proper engine in there

pee vee · 20-05-2009, 04:06 PM

underneith? i dont suppose it matters if its mounted upside down really, as it'll work pretty much the same i spose..
would be interested to see how you mount yours mate!

any reason for doing it? smell? lol

mk1racer · 20-05-2009, 10:01 PM

i told you, should have let me put a cage in before you put it all back together

pee vee · 21-05-2009, 06:17 PM

well, i really did want to. and still do. but ive properly spent out this month on toys!

Spiky · 21-05-2009, 06:52 PM

should have put 309 arms and wishbones on too

pee vee · 25-05-2009, 06:54 PM

Mate of mine gave it a bit of a clean up today.. thats about as exciting as it has got for the last week or so.

gonna get the plastic strips sorted/renewed next week i think..

hai07222 · 25-05-2009, 07:52 PM

Looks very nice, great colour too.

pee vee · 31-05-2009, 11:40 AM

Progress is really quite slow at the moment, as ive been away in Manchester for work this week.

BUT, got a fuel pump yesterday so now setting about mounting the pump and swirl pot.
pretty much decided these are the positions they will be in.

bit of an effort in this weather! LOL

just need bolting down, and the pipes and wires conecting up.

Edit:

1/2 done.. looks a bit messy, but will be tidier when complete.

pee vee · 02-06-2009, 06:00 PM

another little bit done. engine seems to run fine, so guess i cant of fooked it all up too badly

Spiky · 02-06-2009, 06:02 PM

what pump is that?

noisey?

Spiky · 02-06-2009, 06:04 PM

also just noticed you havent got any filter before or after the second pump

HIGHLY recommended, especially as there could be swarf in the swirl pot

i have a filter before and after my pump

pee vee · 02-06-2009, 06:20 PM

its a sytec pump. and its not tooo bad.

i made sure there was no swarf in the swirl pot, before fitting. it got flushed out a lot. lol...
might well pop and get another inline filter now you said that though!!! lol

there is an inline filter in the engine bay after the pump

pee vee · 15-09-2009, 10:29 PM

scaffolding in.(being test fitted before painting)
. car now officially ruined!

pee vee · 15-09-2009, 10:33 PM

Video of it on a very quiet Silverstone national track.!!

dingla rs · 16-09-2009, 02:30 PM

! my m8 has 1 parked in his garage with a few problems lazy git wount do out on it tho

it will end up like the dimma sat next 2 it
very nice keep up the work

pee vee · 16-09-2009, 04:21 PM

lol
Dimmas are old skool cool now!

when cage is in next week i'll book another track day and see how she blows. lol

Chip · 16-09-2009, 04:34 PM

Cage looks good.

Looking forward to seeing it on track soon.

yeah!
get the clio out with the TBs on and we can have a good old ding! LOL

Chip · 16-09-2009, 04:44 PM

Yours is a bit more thorough than mine in terms of track preperation, mine is more or less just a standard car with a little more power and some sticky tyres, so Im sure you will win, but yeah it would be good fun having someone out there to tussle with.
Spikey would be a good one for you to aim for though, his goes very well

pee vee · 16-09-2009, 11:24 PM

yeah, but you forget... I cant drive

lol

rstdave · 16-09-2009, 11:48 PM

Phil....you keep saying that.....so i'll say NO you can't drive for shit pmsl!!!

rickyb · 08-10-2009, 09:39 PM

looks smart does that

pee vee · 10-10-2009, 05:10 PM

cage painted up now and final fitted.
just need a set of seats and harness.

Car sailed thru another MOT today faultlessly.

so thats good.
