I cant see the pictures at work, but is this your throttle bodies?
What are your plans for the rest of the engine?
And I think I've got the brake problem sorted.
Xantia V6 discs should be the ones. I'm waiting on a set arriving and I'll let you know for sure.

Crumbs, your on it with the replys
My mate had a 106 rallye with a saxo VTS engine in it, stripped it out to max, like yours, he only put Ł10 of petrol in at a time to save weight

no, its red, Its stored up at the min waiting for the engine to come back or something!
A tenner would get you once round a track in a gti 6, I was going to track my 306 XSi (2.0 16v + gti6 gear box) at woodbridge this weekend, but i cant afford to fuck it, its my only car!
I want a 205, even the 1.6's are good round a track, they have a fair bit of grunt!

i have a gti6 engine and it's not that bad really
i did about 150 miles on track at bedford and used 1 tank and 2 20l jerry cans
mine is high reving now as i have a 1.6 box so down the back straight i was hitting 7000 in 5th (7600 limit) so i was almost flat out..lol

Fuck me that isnt that good tho is it, lol, I thought 350 miles out of a tank in my 306 was bad, Mine was a high revver with the 5 speed box, it used to sit at 140 in 5th bouncing off the limiter, on a private air field of course!

Yeah the speedo's are quite a bit out, it is on mine too, Carl, whos 205 gti6 i showed you yesterday has a ex police 306 with a calibrated speedo!
How come you run the 1.6 box and not the Gti6, Surly the gti6 box would be better?
I have came across this recently too, there was a 306 rallye at a tarmac rally i went to at the weekend, they were running the 1.6 box too.
But mine goes so much better with the 6 speed rather than the 5 speed!

few reasons
gti6 box
weight,
lack of lock
would be better for travelling to the track days though
1.6 box
close ratio
cheap (i've bought several and the most i paid is 10quid)
70 is 4000'ish
plus sides

ahh, that makes more sence now, is the gti6 box not as close then? i would have thought it would have been but just with a extra gear, there is only 1000rpm between gears!
Do you drive you car to track days then?

the gti6 box is close, though it does have some long gears, maybe 1st or second, cant remember,
i drive mine to and from all track days (inc the nurburgring)
i have only trailored it once and that was croft 2008, i drove there in 2007

i have driven back from every track day
the issues i have ever had with the car and track days are
alternator died on trip to first day at croft 2007
exhaust bracket come off at croft 08
exhaust almost broke in half (stainless steel magnes) at bedford 09
thats a pretty good record if you ask me

im already planning a proper build with another 205 next year hopefully, taking inspiration from this thread mainly!!!
i do have a question for you, which may have been answered, but cant find it!
what is the reasoning behind the pedal box and gettin rid of the servo? no idea why people do this?
thanks

as for changes, i have a few i probably would change...lol
the reason the weight isn't as good as it could be is the few things i have done aren't light than OE, like the engine, thats 25kg heavier than the MI16, which is heavier than std 1.9
the brakes i run are heavier
cage
all adds up
i will slowly alter things and the weight will come off again
thats a great effort! i doubt my one will have driven home safely after the last day, steerring rack is fucked! we have to trailor ours though, because its not road legal!

my oringinal reason for pedal box was for room, as i not sure the engine would sit at std angle and not touch the servo/mc

asked around, drove around bedford but the garages didnt want to know
one point blank refuesed as i said i woul;d have to come back to pay
came back and ask palmer motorsport, they tig'd it, job done lost about 1-2 hrs track in the morning
did the full afternoon session, clocking up LOADS of track time
