So I come on here to ask a 205 question and all I can see is posts about 205's

I need a full system, from manifold back, for a 1987 205 GTi 1.6.

'Tis for a road rally car, so doesn't have to be the standard one, but not excessively noisy - has to pass the noise checks pre-event. Probably needs two boxes - intermediate and rear.

Don't care what it looks like (chromed ends etc).

But must be fairly cheap! Have been quoted £147 by the local tyre'n'exhaust place for a standard one.

Options, suppliers, experiences etc etc please. Pretty please.....

(...205 forum on SN anyone)

You need a std Grp N system from pugsport. They look standard, but are slightly louder than normal and painted black.

They are also cheap from http://www.rallycar.com the Pugsport site

Also try http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ but try for Arvin parts if you go here

Agree with DW re the Grp N.

Magnex also do a full stainless system (plus manifold - extra price) but its about 400 notes.........

Martin,

Demon Tweeks website shows OMP Group N exhausts from £57.82 to £247.82.

Have you spoken to LAD Motorsport - 01524 62748 ?

my mate is stripping his 205 at the moment, it use to be a track car so I know there's 4-pots, roll cage, twin 48s etc. etc. to go, I'll see what he's got left if you're interested?

ScoobyJawa

Noooooooooooooooooo - whatever you do don't phone them - so many better companies around!!!!

Anybody selling a nice standardish, low mileage 1.9 Gti by the way?

What cage is it and how many points? Bolt or weld?

May also be interested in the 4 pots.

bobfrog1

Its definately a safety devices cage, he thinks its a bolt in cage, he's going to check it this weekend (the car is not at his house), the 4-pots are alcon

Dream Weaver

Ask him to send me some pics, pricing and info for everything he's selling, and location as well

Don't mind the thread hijacks

Ordered an exhaust from Peter Lloyd Rallying this afternoon- downpipe, centre box, 3" rear box and other pipes. About 94dBa at 0.45m at 4500rpm - limit is 98dBa. £155 inc. VAT. It might even be the Grp N one that DW speaks of - he did say it was painted black
...plus some Mintex 1144 front pads

Would recommend Peter Lloyd for anyone rallying (and maybe even tracking) a 205. Apart from him rallying a Prodrive WRC Impreza, he knows his onions and is more than happy to advise. I think he supplies most of the South Wales road rally boys with 205 parts (had 5 full cages and 10 exhausts in stock! - see below)

Cheap as well and, if he's got it in stock, next day delivery. You just have to get past the secretary and speak to the man himself. No connection etc...just a happy customer

So, got the car (eBay), bucket seats (eBay), 4 pt harnesses (eBay), another set of 1.9 alloys with two brand new Toyo Proxes, and two hardly worn ANO make (eBay), alloy bonnet pins (an absolute essential - eBay), SD bolt in cage (well, weld in fitting plates and bolt onto those) with door bars (Peter Lloyd), misc spare parts (GSF)

...first event is the Barbara Carter Memorial Road Rally, Sidmouth, Devon, 10/11 July....wish me and "Richmilly" good luck
