Default MY 205 GTI-6 Supercharged Track car

well as some of you know i bought a cheap 205 to us for track days

body work is very good

though the same cant be said about the running of the engine

i thought it was just a timing issue, but still after weeks it;s not 100%

though it's much much better than when i picked it up

here some pics from when i bought it










here are some pics i took of it this evening

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/06...5/DSC04423.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/06...5/DSC04424.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/06...5/DSC04425.jpg


then the stripping starts, not much yet, as i dont have buckets to put in yet, so i've left the front seats in










got some brand new Eagle F1's ready to be fitted for wet track days

and a bargain at only 140 delivered for the 4





and here are some spare parts i've already sourced to try and cure the running issue

I cant for the life of me find Eagle F1s on that site, although they are the best tyres though, I always run them on my cars.

Coming along mate, but I have to say it, that looks far too good to be a track slag. Nice ones are so hard to find these days

BLOODY HELL 300amp

So its just a joiner Ummmmmm whot size are the bolts 8mm (ie standard battery cable size starter end) I need some thing to simaler to surply the live wire that are on the top of the battery as standard on the cossies

I was thinking the Blocks that you can get for stereo sytems that take thick wire that then slits into 4 ect

You got a web addy for the place you get you bits from

Also thats my batterys sitting i got mine looks lol
