Well mine aint no ordinary GTi. mwhaahaaa.

He was definately nailing it, I was talking to him after it. lol
 
It seems to be the season for Mi16s again.

I just had a week off work to fettle a few things and fit some choice tasty parts to the 205. These include:

  • Fit Bilstein tarmac spec front coilovers
  • Fit eccentric top mounts
  • Fully rebuild, paint and fit disc rear axle (mine was a 1.6 so had drums)
  • Fit reangled manifold to clear the bulkhead (simply couldnt get the angle plate to seal properly on the other manifold I had)
  • Fit shortshifter kit and alloy gear linkage
  • Fit new brake hoses
  • Fit silicon water hose kit
  • Refit sump with new sealant (pesky leaky pug sumps)
  • Remove soundproofing layer from boot liner (about 2 kilos of soggy dead weight)
  • Paint calipers all round

However I was thwarted by time, all it needs is a new exhaust downpipe to bolt straight on and it's off down the MOT centre. Oh and the strut brace needs a re-spray before it goes back on.

Future plans include a 306 GTi6 inlet manifold and TB, a nice lairy inlet cam, probably dropping the arse end another spline on some matching Bilstein rear dampers and fitting a thicker 309 anti roll bar in the axle.

Here's a few piccies:

It is amazing stuff, the best dismantling spray I've ever used, it makes siezed in dry bolts easy work. This would be especially useful for Nissans where they seemt to put 90% of bolts in dry...

I'm off to fit the exhaust at the weekend and get it MOT'd. Fingers crossed... :woohoo:
