[car_upgrade] Black 205 Gti6 - 1991

[Para 82 2 Cars]

I've just noticed you don't have a front towing eye?

 

You have an eye for details yes. it went missing after the spray job... Never manage to fitted since then. I need that for my next track day

[cybernck 402 1 Cars]

It's an Peugeot...you won't need one anyway XD

 

Love the work you've done on that car!!!

 

The rear one is useless... however, the front one may come in handy from time to time!

[Para 82 2 Cars]

I need to sort out this towing eye problem before my next track day (sunday!!) they are always looking for it when your car is out of the track. If I will run out of the track and not have the towing eye I will be lifted with a forklift !!! risky game

 

In the meantime new package arrived today

Another small upgrade is on the way. Thanks to Miles & Stew I got some bits for gearbox improvement.

 

[Para 82 2 Cars]

Rose joined gear rods has been fitted and the car is 1 step closer to be perfect fast road / track day toy. Also we've cleaned intake from all the dirt and connect OBD plug to the loom to check all the fault codes.

 

​

 

Everything is good apart from the clutch which is in need of changing. I am hesitating which way to go for some uprated performance one or standard valeo / sachs... ?

[dcc 855]

I advise standard valeo item. I HATED my paddle clutch.

[welshpug 1,661]

so did I!

[Para 82 2 Cars]

I will order Sachs standard clutch next week. Should do the job for a now.

[dcc 855]

Ring LCS Louth and see if they have a kit in stock. Valeo item, I have had 3 from them all of which were perfect!

[Para 82 2 Cars]

Thanks a lot I will give it a try.

I have this set lying around. What do you think ? Will it look good with yellow lights ?

 

[welshpug 1,661]

would be ok if you had a ZX, phase1 306, or a phase1 106, but they don't fit a 205 nicely!

Picture from today's classic car show. I was the only one there with 205

 

[Guest Spitfire2k6]

Lovely car you have there mate. Looks stunning since that respray and detail! Good job

[Para 82 2 Cars]

Car went for a service, new Sachs clutch will be fitted and new rear wiper motor. Apart from that, car still looking good.

After one of the track days, my headlamp was cracked. I had to replace them anyway for MOT as I had the RHD lamps and I was driving on the Left Side of the road which is already MOT fail.

 

I manage to find new set of VALEO lamps for just 19.99pounds each ! Classic ! I love bargains !

This is bloody lovely!

Awesome car!

The shine reminds me of how my Sorrento used to look back in 2005, I found some old photos the other day from the 205 forum meeting around a lake in Northampton ...

Keep up the good work and don't make the mistake of selling it.

best colour, looks fantastic!

[andy-mac 4]

cracking looking colour you have done a great job there

[Para 82 2 Cars]

MOT tomorrow morning, keep the fingers crossed !

[cybernck 402 1 Cars]

There are 16mm spacers in front ...

it's bare minimum to fit Brembo's - 24 mm, the gap is so small between Speedline's that when wheel wasn't precisely balanced it was rubbing against the caliper.

Are the wheel spacers 16 or 24 mm in the end?

[Para 82 2 Cars]

Sorry for confusing things, spacers are 24mm and I don't think you can fit narrower under the standard alloys.
