Bargain for an Auto bonnet - highly sought after

 

Some places I called up had red bonnets but not auto, they thought I was mad asking for an auto bonnet.

Picked it up, has a few small pressure dents, nothing to get excited about. Needs a good T-cut. Whipped it off the car in about 2 mins.

Thought I was never going to find one!

 

I may get one from Pug, and just leave it in black primer for that authentic race look

 

Anything would be better than that gay miami blue colour

 

Anybody interested in my Sorrento Green 1.9 for sale,(Genereal for Sale Section). Very very reluctant sale. Tax bill looming next month!!

 

Its not gay *under* the bonnet now though, none of this **** poor 8v stuff



Just a shame it wont fire up though just yet, got my third crank sensor coming soon, fingers crossed

 

Red line it in first and change to second the box will grind they all do

 

Interesting statement

Is that like saying ALL students are lazy layabout pissheads

Never had any gearbox issues with any of my 205's

 

Tis looking good under there now mate

Nowt wrong with my 8v 75kmiler either, mmmmm torquey throttle response

So what do you reckon she should put out bhp wise - 175ish?

 

Been following your build progress on 205gtidrivers, looks good

 

Still not going DW ...........16V clutter.

Cant believe this thread is still running, anyone would think the humble 205 was a good car

The engine alone was RR'd at 181bhp on std induction after it was rebuilt, so hopefully it will be nearer 195/200 on the TB's. It has Piper 268's, gas flowed head and re-worked valves which gives the extra over std

Gary, it should be working now but for some reason the brand new Pug crank sensor isnt working at all, a good waste of £54 by the previous owner, though I got it as a spare when I bought the engine so it didnt cost me owt.

Just waiting for another to come in the post, then it should work. Just the legals to sort then, MOT, tax, insurance etc. Hoping to have it running in the next fortnight as a birthday present to myself

 

Ah I couldn't remember what else had been done to the engine!!! Very nice indeed and dare I say an Impreza slayer (though don't let Daryl see that or he'll go off on one again!!)

 

No it couldn't possibly ever match an Impreza, they're in the supercar league you know

 

 

i'm glad you got round to admitting it !! it took soooooooooo long !! tut tut !

 

weve dreamweaver well trained you know , sit !!!!

 

Welcome back Darryl, is it the school holidays already

 

why do you ask are you some kind of perv !!!

 

Latest:
Managed to get the auto bonnet on so it shuts now!
Took the car up to Northampton motorsport yesterday for a little RR time. 171 bhp adjusted down to 169.2 bhp for temperature. Was running a bit rough beforehand, but seems to be running very well now. Had a massive flat spot before, now just full speed ahead

Will get some pics soon.
Anyone got any uprated 205 engine mounts?

 

..

 

I have the full GRP A mounts on mine. Shakes your teeth out on idle

 

LOL! I know exactly what you mean!!

 

Just ordered a group n kit, hopefully a little less vibrational . Engine at the moment is like a rocking horse with a fat bloke on it.

 

Dont think the Grp N is any less of a vibrator

They make a world of difference though, really tighten the front end up and seem to reduce any understeer problems as well.

 

never come across group A engine mounts ? only bottom solid one ??

 

Mine may be Grp N then rather than GrpA, but they are all uprated rather than just the bottom one AFAIK

These are the buggers - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peugeot-205-30...QQcmdZViewItem

 

Scoobynutta, thats a lot of work thats been done in such a short period of time!

 

Ive got a full set of those in my pug, god dam its solid now

 

yeah group N they are, harder rubber
