[Engine_Work] 205 Mi16 Respray And Engine Rebuild

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

Would be easier building the engine then putting it in the car, wouldn't it?

 

 

Looking good though

[Josh_Quant 27]

Well its on 2 engine mounts when i put it in i thought that it was sitting wierd?? but then you got to put into count that theres no top end weight on it to make tilt back or no gearbox.

 

Theres still big gap on cambelt side, its only the flywheel sits a bit to far forward towards front panel but still a good gap to stop any paint being damage!

 

And for building the engine out its only putting the head on which it far easy enough to do in the car and it was not my engine stand so wanted it give it back lol

 

Iv been painting the gearbox today (Silver) so thats the next thing to put in and then the engine will be sitting normal again.

 

Thanks for comments fellas

Get a jack or a afew blocks supporting that block from the sump, no need to put all that stress on your inner wing/chassis leg!

[Josh_Quant 27]

cheers buddy!

 

yours is looking bang tidy if i must say

 

Yeah loads of times always looked to see if it was on your drive lol. I was geting to the point of thinking that you sold it

 

You got the gti180 aswell?

 

Don't know if you seen a white 205 going round with the lovely red grill lol?

[Josh_Quant 27]

Been slacking really to be honest Been waiting for the ££££££'s that why lol

 

Right this is what iv done since the last update

 

* Gti6 hubs (painted in red)

* Up graded to 1.9 shafts

* KYB gas shocks, new top strut mounts (new last year) with 40mm springs

* New lower arms

* Gold calipers

* Gti6 battery tray

* Put wiring loom and ECU back on

* new nissen radiator

* waiting for toms relocation bracket to come now to put the radiator in

 

That is it really all suspension back on now brakes all bled and back on the floor for the 1st time in 7 months

 

 

Really hating the wiring loom at the moment makes it look untidy

I thought whack a picture up of the bay 95% done

 

Just fitted a new Sytec fuel pump as well since the old Bosch one died

 

I think it looks lot better then the old dark engine bay

 

[aarontrophy 26]

Looks really good mate

[SurGie 54]

I like that colour too, what you have done looks really good. I like the red theme which i think stands out well with the grey colouring of car.

 

When do you think its will be back on the road, are you going to rolling road with it at all ?

[Josh_Quant 27]

Well... i m still currently saving for paint and materials which i should get sorted this weekend hopefully!

 

So then can get cracking with it and get the rest of it painted, then its the easy bits M.O.T and Tax

 

Unsure on a date but sooner the better

 

But once its finally back on the road it will be having proper management with cams and Hopefully ITB's then of course it will be having a trip to the rollers

 

 

Notice its actually alive and running and the green wing

 

 

The white ones my daily drive atm, shame that i couldn't of take my other one to the cheddar meet (hopefully next time)

[SurGie 54]

Any updates on this yet Josh ?

 

Where does the inlet 2nd small red pipe lead too under the inlet ?

 

You've done well being only 19, when i was that age i just passed my test after leaving college raving & living the life most of the time.

 

Oh and did you manage to get one of those inlet badges ?

To the ECU map sensor built inside

I bought a peugeot one in the end just haven't stuck it on yet sat on my tool box (hopefully will be getting ITB's when on the road s ain't fussed about getting a good sticker lol) Im on the 306 oc now!

 

Also bought another set of standard S16 cams for regrind in the future off Ebay 99p Plus postage

[SurGie 54]

Nothing like the bwarp sound from a set of ITB's, i might be getting them myself just not certain yet.

 

Well if you still want one of those badges i 'think' i have one spare you can have if you want, i found an original outline lion like what 205 gti's had on their inlet.

[Josh_Quant 27]

Right i doubt anyone still interested

 

but change jobs and didn't have the cash to carry on with it and was doing odd bits here and there

 

I have got a update though car is all painted and got few pictures of progress along the way!!
