Dan

cut out section of panel with electric window mechanism and handle and window weigh

9.6kg'ish

new poly carb window is 2.5kg

Crowder

well with the ring trip only 2weeks away

i need to finish a few things off

think i mght lower it a touch more

4 brand new r888's and some spares

newly modified ADJ TCA's with big thanks to Paul (noddy escort)

used Paul custom made camber gauge and with an unknown floor lever

passenger front is -2 degrees
drivers front -1 degrees

so i guess i need to know if the floor level, thats the next step

some of the wheels aren't black as you can see,

but that will soon get sorted


and as you can see i put some new paint on the floor and on the walls

ACE Spiky now when you weighing it in so to speak lol

Be interested to see what it is

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

once i got it all back together, thats the first place i'm going

rapidcossie

Most weight is in the back window spiky!

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

thats soon to be addressed, actually tomorrow *



*fingers crossed

rapidcossie

Dont think they are too bad on a 205 mate.

I have seen a few being done albeit by a guy in the window trade but it took him half hour tops

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

there's more to y post than meets the eye

i think i'm going to save a hell of a lot of weight on the rear

Nice one Steve

You still thinking of a VAG Turbo?

rapidcossie

There is a company that does almost every panel for a 205 in Carbon fibre too!

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

doors are around 600 quid each

i think i'll stick to my new bits coming and thats it


it was an option.

if you say the conversion of the VAG was say 4k

i might as well just buy the supercharger kit for my engine

as with std engine its 280 bhp, with low comp pistons is 400bhp

hardly any gain of weight, but a shit load more power

and the supercharge kit is around 3-4k i think



but for now its staying std, as i want it to corner and stop the best i can get it, with out going stupid

Spiky if you want power turbo your GTI-6!

Few of the guys I know have 16v turbos with KMS management and cossie T3's and they are as quick as some of the Evo's up the strights at KH!

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

tracktoy

'custom' sounds so much better than 'pikey homemade'




how cool would they be on a white car- get em bought, its only money

budget track car

ok, a little update on the 205,
i have modified the TCA's so they sit futher in the car, the inner rear is welded in place while the inner front is still adjustable
and we cut and re-welded the outher sleve further out so there was more threads inside the insert for safety, due to us having the arm further in






here is my new rear hatch, quite please with it (although it took a while to get here) and i still haven't had my bonnet






and here is what it weights

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

MOT today

fingers crossed

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

good job done there, you on track at rally day? times 10.30 and 2.20 i think

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

yeah, i had sold my front shocks, but i'm going to use them for rally day see how i get on,

if not happy i will get some GAZ Golds and then problem with be solved

though i took the rear tail gate off the other night, so i need to fit the new.. sharpish..pmsl

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

decided to hang the rear hatch
onnc i the marked out the hinge locations
it turns out, that i just needed to drill our the two indents on the hinge, as the hatch has 2 screms to hold it in place, where as the OE has one.
this is the result

Spiky

decided to tidy the garage up, as it was a mess and i wanted to park both cars in there

so put the 205 at a nice angle and started progress,

started by removing the rad and front grill, as i wanted to put the GTI6 alternator back on as it was running on the 1.9 8v alternator















Next i fitted my machined thermostat housing, which has been sat in the garage for ages, as it removes the plastic gti6 one, so i can run a 8v top hose







Next i removed the bonnet, ready for the fibreglass one, and removed the slam panel to get to the windscren motor which needs a over haul as it runs slow, if it dont work i'll put a new 106 one on there













I next removed the front valance, as i wanted to move the oil cooler to sit behind where the front fog lamp was (driver side) as passenger side will feeb the air filter

looking good, when you doing the throttle body conversion

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

that will depend on how quick your bloody car is

SteveW

iTrader: (2)

i dont think ours will be as quick as yours is now, think the old boy is being to optimistic there

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

you'll be supprised

Spiky
