I Have A 205 At Last!

Recommended Posts

grantley1988

Hello all, i have been on this forum for a good 8 odd months now. Looking at threads on what to do with my 205 when i finally get one! Well i finally have one and i am over the moon :P i have driven 400+ miles in the 10 days i have had it and have not stopped smiling since i drove away from Exeter train station where i collected it!

 

So far i have got a set of speedlines and shod them in toyo t1-r's and thats about it.

 

The plans in the very near future are to fit a 309 gti beam and 309 wishbones for some sexy camber and a group n exhaust as i like raspyness :o Im also on the look out for a 2.0 8v turbo engine as thats where i will be going engine wise with the car.

 

The car is a 1.9 gti in miami blue with black leather interior and the body work is fantastic! the is about 6" of surface rust on the sill and thats it! the engine has been rebuilt with a piper cam, pulley, head work, 4-2-1 manifold and a be3 box. The ratios are a little crazy on the motorway! Spax suspension which has been dropped 40mm, which will be uprated to billies when i uprate to the 309 components.

 

Here are a few pics after a good clean today.......

 

Guess how much i paid....

Well it's worth easily 1200 (even on here!), but I reckon due to the hint of smugness that you paid around £650 --> £750!?

Paid 1k for it :) it also came with a set of 16“ oz superturismos with practicly brand new continental sport contact 2 so when I clean them up tommorow and stick them up for sale. I should get a few hundred for those :)

Happy days!

Very tidy, was never keen on Miamis, but the more like yours I see, the more I get swayed...
