205 1.3 Rallye

Recommended Posts

Greenys_meanies

Can anyone help please......

 

I'm currently converting a 205 to 1.3 Rallye spec for oval stock car racing (129?cc not 1360cc). does anyone know of the differences between a 1.3 rallye and other models? eg suspension, gti or other? engine specs? is the 309 1.3 the same engine, just different carbs?

 

Thanks for any help

The British (RHD) 205 Rallye was 1360cc with base model suspension and brakes, the european one (LHD) was 1294cc with 1.6 GTi suspension and brakes. Both use TU engines, LHD being alloy block, RHD Iron block.

 

The 1.3 engine used in 309's until 1991 is not a TU unit, it's based on the older Simca/Chrysler Alpine engine. The 309 only got the TU engine in late 1991.

Cheers for that Sandy

 

Does anyone know if any 205 was ever fitted with the early 1294cc engine, not the tu?
