you dont want to mount yours like mine lol they are a proper pain in the ass due to me buying the mounts and runners from omp the seats sit to high and my head touches the roof lol so when i fit the cage il have the seats out etc and modify them again without the runners and see how i get on!! il get photos as soon as i can mate il pm them to yi

pee vee · 14-12-2009, 04:54 PM

yeah i get the same trouble with the standard seats, especially on track with a lid on..

and i dont have a sunroof either so would probably be worse with one!!

Spiky · 01-02-2010, 02:26 PM

bigryrs · 09-03-2010, 09:58 PM

Engines out and the new one is nearly ready to slot in!! i just forgot to buy an engine mount hence the holdup lol

Drunken Master · 09-03-2010, 10:25 PM

Looks good, harness mounting is a bit dodgy though...

Deerhunter · 09-03-2010, 10:45 PM

very nice retro car love the 205s

BigErn · 09-03-2010, 10:50 PM

Should be good fun when its done. Im sure you will have a right hoot in it

I like the standard look of white Gti's. Might have to get mine painted and find some wheels.

Because by mounting them in the floor it's pulling you down into the seat rather than backwards into the seat. If you crash it could cause damage to your spine!

From memory I don't think your supposed to have and angle of more than 15 degrees. That's why most people fit a half cage for harnesses.

Not having a dig, it's just not a good set-up althought you may feel more secure. Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the best...

No worries had a similair problem, so I just welded some footplates in and put a bolt in half cage with a harness bar in the back. Think custom cages or alike would probably do something for 200-300 will be more comfortable and mainly safer.

bigryrs · 22-03-2010, 09:53 PM

took the inlet manifold off to hook up sensors etc and one of the valves si missing so my engine is fucked happy days

bigryrs · 05-05-2010, 08:29 AM

After sourcing another engine i got cracking with the 205 and after weeks of getting dirty the car was ready to fire up but no spark and after a lot of head scratching we found out the crank sensor was fucked! the car now runs and il get some pics up when i get home! cant wait to get the thing back on the road tbh!

Spiky · 05-05-2010, 08:31 AM

chop chop

glad it's sorted though

rs_fiesta · 05-05-2010, 09:21 PM

Good cars im preparing one for rallying.Newish 205 safety devices cages have harness bars so you should be ok,or you could weld ones in easilly enough.Weld in seat rails arnt too hard to fit either if you are good with a welder,makes sense doing it the same time as the cage.

Yeah mate i would be as well doing everything at once eh! ive looked around for a cage but nothing yet il just have to keep looking!!

fraser9764 · 07-05-2010, 11:58 AM

when it comes to seat mountings, the only way to do it properly is to chop the standard mounts out and weld in some tubes/box section across the floorpans. and to get the drivers seat to sit square on to the wheel you need to chop out a small section of the tunnel and weld a bit of angle in.
for the love of god dont try and use the standard mountings, or if you do make sure you weld something fairly hefty to them like some 25x5mm flat bar across the top, i'll try and find a pic in a sec to show you why.

fraser9764 · 07-05-2010, 12:03 PM

found it, this was in our first rally car, before we used it, it never been in a major shunt.

if i were you i would make new mounts, like in my all our other 205s, cant find a pic but you can see it here in my mini

fraser9764 · 07-05-2010, 12:13 PM

oh and try and steer clear of OMP cages, Safety devices are far superior, they fit a million times better, the only thing is out SD cage fits behind the dash, not sure if the new ones are the same.

Spiky · 07-05-2010, 12:28 PM

oh no i have an omp cage, i'm going to die

danzul · 07-05-2010, 01:42 PM
