the mi's go well,

so do ther GTI6's


though the MI's have a habit or killing the bottom end hence i went GTI-6

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

ah right, yeah i seen that, it goes very well

hopefully with my new mods i should be able to do the same, once i learn to drive...lol

aduz

cool vid

Escort-Ian

Tell me about it

Can't wait get it back though

vibrating_cake

that sierra looks cool

needs to take a few notes from the mi16 on using ALL of the track.. lmao,
top driving through the next few corners after they got overtaken though, thats how its suppost to be done!

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

forgot to ask, are you staying MI or moving up in the world? joke

Escort-Ian

bitch

Sticking with MI, but with all the right stuff

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

hope fully it will last then

be good to race on track

you going to bedford? any planned track days this year?

Escort-Ian

Will be at a few, as to which, I don't know yet to be honest. Usually be found at either Oulton or Donno, prefer Oulton Park though

gwynny

Worst mistake I ever made was selling my mi16 on 45's!!

TIFF

Not if you use a proper baffled sump, uprated oil spring and oil cooler they dont

My Mi was giving 330bhp Cossies a run for there money at Donington.....Ask Marco

Escort-Ian

New engine has a dry sump, cooler and all the needed bottom end mods

Cosworth Bassie

Always loved the Mi's.

I did have one ( But is called a GTI-16, with other manifold etc) in my Pug 309.







Correct. My engine also died because of the crank bearings.

I sold the engine and mounted a 2.0 L Turbo











T16 CLUTCH

Mi16's are shit hot engines too start with, so when you start playing with them, there gonna perform well speically in something like a 205!

My mate has a 205 Rallye with a 1.9 Lump in on carbs, goes well around a track, his brother has a 306 rallye with 200bhp NA on TB's, another track beast that will kill alot of cars on track

another one of my mates has a 1.9 405 Mi16 which has been rebuilt to a standard spec, pushing out 170bhp on the rollers, even that shifts for such a big car!

Dam, i want a 205!

Shings

Or me... I was in the same car and had the same mods in my MI16 too..


GO MI GO

Jake

pee vee

does show how much Weight plays a part in a track car i spose.

160 bhp and 120 lb ft
against possibly 300 bhp in that cos?

lot more to it than that really though, speed carried thru corners i'd say.


im yet to see what my car with Mi 16 power goes like on track, but
went ok as a 1900 8v.(for what it is) lol..

but i Dont expect much as i aint much of a driver!

Good fun though aint it

i loved mine while i had it,wish i couldve kept it for track use now.

Stu.H

Nearly bought Nuts's one, wish I had of now in a way

TIFF - did yours have a hairdryer?

markk

iTrader: (2)

the guy who owns that 205 comes on here, he has a bit of video from i think 2004 of my old car just coming up the inside of him on the start/finish at croft, shortly after my crappy plastic oil filler cap expired and spat oil all over his windscreen in the afternoon was funny though.

Spiky

Tiff, Shings,

i dont doubt they were both great, and never blew up

but i see post after post of them dieing, and only 1 gti-6 so far and that was a weird issue

i would have gone MI if there was a cheap fix for the oil problem, as there is no, i went the GTI6

and it has held it's against MI so far on track, so well happy

pee vee

why do Gti-6s have a habbit of killing cam belts though

noone seems to be able to solve that one either

Trist

OK, I watched that and got straight on the net looking for a 205 Mi16 for sale, got someone with a miami blue one that is interested in a deal with my 1997 escort GTI. Am I doing my usual act now think later thing or shall I carry on with it??
I was going to start to look at a few things to do track days with and use as an every day driver. trip to work is all country roads 9miles there and back thats as far as I use my car for??

I read tghat the reason they get oil starvation is because the engine has to be tilted at a further backward angle to get the exhaust manifold in? is this right.
Oppinions please

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

yeah that seems to be a weak point for them

weird though

TIFF

I'm fairly sure it is

I was at that day and was impressed with the 205. It was a good match for my 4x4 sapphire (stage 1 at the time).

I really like them - great cars!

Neil.
