Well i won the auction for the 205 shell i was after, which ive wanted since i owned my last 205. Its only a 1.1 style on the logbook but the base model makes relatively little difference. The plan is to fit the forged engine im buying off a friend into my integra and finish off the turbo conversion, this will free up my standard engine which would otherwise just sit in the garage and fit it into the 205. The plan is to sort all the bodywork, respray it in championship white, fit my teg wheels, dash and red recaros, along with maybe my standard suspension and 282 brakes but we'll see about that aswell as a cage in time.Tuning wiseif i do anything at all i may stick a set of throttle bodies on that im also designing at the moment. It may take a while but ill get there

Standard teg radiator fits which mean standard hoses etc will also

20131211_125428_zps28b66943.jpg

Dash in the teg for a rough sizing, very similar in size so again shouldnt be too much of a problem, may have to square off the rear to get a snug fit

Subframe to replace with either a gti one, or if i get my wish a DC2 one with some adaptations obviously :P

20131214_154204_zps8cae8c4c.jpg

Suspension mount in the inner wing, massive in comparison to the DC2

205 suspension vs DC2 suspension, if i had some scales handy id weigh them but my mate has them for fishing

205-ITRSuspensionidea_zpsb252b817.png

A rough guide of how its set up, the one on the left is the 205 and the right is DC2. Ive designed an adapter to bolt onto the strut top of the DC2's then bolt up onto the bodywork of the 205. the bottom of the strut is a smaller diameter also but i can make a bush to suit no problem, ill either make an extension piece to cover the 85mm or split it and make the piece 40mm and the spacer at the top 45mm thicker. When i have some more of the setup at hand ill design more into it. On first glances though the setup looks similar in dimensions on both setups so may not be soo hard to convert after all...

 

Any comments or criticisms always appreciated

I can't help but think what's the point? What will you gain from using the honda suspension apart from a massive amount of work?

I dont know yet, i need to weigh up the options first and have a good look at both. If the teg suspension is ridiculously hard to do with little benefit ill go with the gti. If its relatively straight forward and it gives me the extra width i want then ill go for it. Im not dead set on anything

Waste of time using teg suspension unless you are using on the rear just stick with gti running gear and correct offset wheels and u will get correct width. By putting teg stuff n it could be awfull now i know how gd a dc2 is bu will it work on a 205 plus we all know gti is good with its setup and ur not going for silly power.

Using the rear is on the cards aswell, again i just need to do some research and get some sizes of things to see whether it would be feasible or not

I just think the gain if any will not be worth the time and effort.

Each to their own, personally I would stick with the 205 suspension as rather than masses of work you can just concentrate on the engine and box conversion, still plenty to do, engine mounts, gear change, driveshafts, wiring, etc.

You can always then a later date look at the suspension should you decide you want to change it all.

Aye thats not a bad idea, the main focus will certainly be the engine etc but as i have no gti running gear or anything else really as yet to put on im measuring up etc with the teg parts i do have. I picked up my forge engine today so i can now put the suspension stuff on hold and as you say focus on the mounts etc

Not as of yet, I did decide to keep it peugeot running gear as mentioned above and just get some half and half shafts. Ive had a nightmare few months with things going wrong and stupid un necessary bills etc. Ive just been paid yesterday too which will enable me to go buy the subframe i need, which in turn will let me start making mounts etc. Ill update when i get those bits though, i bought a dash which is to go in too but as i say been real busy lately

I'd keep the 205 dash myself. Fitting a Honda one will just create loads of extra work for no real gain (plus it looks a bit gash and won't suit the car).

Got my 1.9 subframe through which is in pretty good condition, one balljoint was knackered so i took the arms off to measure up and make some new bushes for them out of nylon with steel inserts

which i later found out maybe not be the best idea? but then found that the balljoints werent replacable either lol. So ive got 2 bar arms now sat there which i think ill convert to run rose joints instead. and in the mean time ill get a set of 309 wishbones to tide me over

 

A few questions regarding this, obviously the 309 are wider but when rose jointing does this matter? as i could rose joint the 1.9 ones and just space the joint out slightly further

Ok a bit of progress finally, ive had a lot on my plate at the moment with my girlfriend out of work aswell as other things which have severely hindered my ability to get on with anything. Now thats coming to an end ive had more time to get cracking again. So anyway, theres a place up the road from me called Stella Blast which has a good reputation and was pretty cheap i thought, the guy says if i want anything else doing to just bring it round and the more things the cheaper itll be etc. Cant go wrong :)

 

Firstly, he stitch welded up the subframe for me along the seams. Then acid dipped them to remove any paint or s*ite left on the metal, then blasted and then powder coated. I got him to do the solid subframe mounts that i made too so they wont corrode into dust. Got the ARB done aswell while we were at it too. He said he couldnt powder coat the 309 wishbones due to the inability to remove the balljoints and that the 180 degree oven would knack them so we just blasted them instead. Once home ive stuck them in the shed and given them a coat of red oxide primer then ill paint them black to match the rest of the subframe.

And while i had his time, i got him to weld on some AN fittings to my rocker top for my turbo build. Once drilled through and i cutout the ends for the cam gears he says he'll powder coat it for me

Next on the cards is some front hubs and maybe some GTI suspension which again, will be powder coated like new and fitted. Thatll at least give me a rolling chassis and allow me to have a platform to mount the engine into. Im gonna fix my lasses accord and use that as my daily driver and take my integra off the road, thatll let me swap engines relatively quickly. Ive started to attempt to strip the loom down to minimum components too, in this car i dont need PAS, AC or ABS so over half the loom can come out. Ill let you know how i get on

Isnt there an issue in mounting B18 lumps into 205's due to the way then engine runs? Or are you planning on using the honda gearbox too?
