Default FAO Pug205 lovers- Tsukuba Time Attack 205GTI (pics)

I dunno if its news in the Pug world yet (doubt theyd ever find out TBH) but a 205GTI came 2nd in FWD class at Tsukuba time attack in Japan

As I wondered what the fook the car was about, I did some research, and found a bit of info and pics

Didnt think they even had any over there, and reading what I understand on the site, they kinda ended up with the car by accident, and built it as a bit of fun.
They also have the same issues with seized up rear torsion bars it seems, theres a bit bit about that, saying 205s, 106s, and 306s all rust up solid so take care.

Its a batshit MI-16 engine on carbs, a fucking mega light car, metalist downforce, and so on.

Ever seen the crazy 8port MI-16 manifold? Well check the aftermarket version they made


MENTAL bodywork







Serious suspension-


So light things can break...


Guess this puts to bed the "spacers are bad" myth once and for all


Fuel sys etc


Runs their own carb kit and inlet manifold, seems to sell for about 1200quid


Lovely dash...

inspiration for my 306!! Not sure about the wing I think that could have been done different yet it works so can't complain. i like the rear suspension idea as I was thinking along these lines while looking at the cost of the uprated torsion bars.
