bought a copy of PFC last week to read the article on colins 205 and browsing through the mag i found a picture of my car...




I popped over to merlins on saturday and picked up a passengers seat and i ordered from Rally Design a alloy seat fitting kit last week so that all got fitted the weekend along with the new 4 point willians harness for the passengers side...



all fitted in the car



next up was sorting the discs/wheel setup. I didnt like the Kad discs that came with the 6 pots. they have a back offset and the caliper gets spaced back to achieve wheel clearance on standard wheels. the part of the disc where the wheel bolts up against was also around 3mm thicker to give a little more wheel clearance. This took away half of the hub centric part of the hub so the C5 wheels didnt sit very nicely. Fine probably on a road car but I personally didnt like it.

So i picked up a set of standard Gti6 discs and fitted them, removed the caliper spacers which made the calipers directly bolted to the hub.
perfect, but now the C5 wheels foul the calipers by over 10mm. One option would be to invest in some wheels with big brake clearance like Pro Race 1.2's but i dont think anything other than a steel wheel style rim suits this car so sticking with the C5's was a must.
I purchased some 15mm alloy hubcentric spacers to get the clearance required, this now made the special C5 bolts which use a 60 degree taper washer not long enough. A stud conversion was the answer but buying nuts with a 60 degree taper spin washer seemed impossible.
I came across a set of aftermarket Nissan skyline wheel nuts listed on ebay which looked just the ticket



Slightly longer than i wanted but just the ticket. They come in a pack of 20 as the Skyline/200sx is 5 stud but luckily M12 x 1.25 pitch so the same as peugeot.
I ordered these up along with a decent set of 82mm length studs from Demon Tweeks which came today and ive just finished fitting.



wheel nuts fitted and then the same carried out on the other side.



Something ive been wanting to do for a while was buy a proper car transporter trailer, i either hire or use my big 16ft x 7.6ft work trailer which is a bit of a ballache when doing trackdays, staying away etc.
Ive been browsing for a second hand one for a while but the price of used ones are so expensive and seeing as we are Ifor Williams main dealers at work i finally took the plunge and ordered a new Ifor Williams CT115 (11ft x 5ft) and also the spare wheel rack so i can chuck the slicks on the trailer too. Delivery is 5 weeks so probably wont be in time for Oulton

Next up is Weld on steering wheel boss using a quick release collar system as i cant currentyl get in and out of the car with my new drivers seat!

why thanks!

i passed merlin motorsport earlier while working so popped in and got the weld on slug and snap off steering wheel boss. I removed the steering column yesterday and after work i took to welding the slug on the end of my steering column. The id of the slug was 11mm and the end of the column was 13mm. there was enough meat on the slug to drill it out so it could be slid onto the shaft a little. alligned and welded.
like so




then got home this evening and fitted it back on the car. Steering wheel is nice length away and i can get in and out the car much easier!

Hi Ash before the dry sump did you run an upgraded sump baffle or just standard baffles tempted to get a dry sump but not sure it will fit with the charger setup!

Nah I just had a standard gti6 sump which has the trap door baffle.
Other option to a dry sump is a pug sport baffle kit and to run an accusump tank.
The accusump is a pressurised cylinder which is half filled with oil and if the pressure drops in the engine it'll add oil into the system.

We did this option on one of my mates 205's.

I agree you'll be tight for room but you could put the dry sump tank inside the car where they normally live.

Did you find the r5 turbo alloy radiator any different to the Nissens rad?

did a track day at Oulton Park last weekend.

Car ran really well all day except for when i stuck it backwards into the gravel trap....
couple of pics from the day.



The result of trying to chase a Radical in the wet with half warm R888's......





the whole engine bay was covered in stones, all over the engine and all over the gearbox, luckily i thought of dipping the clutch and turning the engine off while going backwards into the gravel.. didnt stop a stone getting into the dry sump pulleys and tearing the belt! the belt was ripped but still in one piece which was a bit of luck.

This morning i cleaned the car as it was pretty dirty after towing it a 400 mile around trip and a winter trackday. Got a replacement dry sump drive belt and ran the engine for an hour this morning to make sure all was good which it was thankfully :-)

Carbon coilpack was fitted a few weeks ago

this afternoon i popped down the local scrap yard to see if i could find a 205 and get a couple of bits i needed. I cam across the beauty.



Ive been looking for a replacement base model passengers door since the summer when i crashed my car. Cant seem to find a white base model door anywhere so ill get the lads next door at work to spray this one white for me. Its really straight which is the main thing!



also the keys were still in the car so i had the lock set out of it too. My car currently uses 3 keys and the drivers door lock doesnt work very well


Got the whole lot for £40 so cant moan at that :-)

one session from Oulton Park in the damp/cold.

Tried chasing a Radical for a bit but traffic didnt really allow it. a bit later i had another go and to be honest i was holding on to it. Mind you if there was a talented driver behind the wheel it should be lapping me...

I'm getting a few bits sprayed up on the car which has started off as just getting the door sprayed white inside and out to replace my bent one where I put it in the tyres at Combe.

I had the attitude of "while your at it"
There was a ripple in the drivers side front wing near the indicator so I put some fine filler to get that sorted and can be sprayed at the same time of the door....

once the front wing was sanded, primered and then sanded back again with some fine wet and dry ready for paint I moved my attention elsewhere....

why not smooth the boot wiper holes, I cut a small piece of metal out and bonded it to the back, once that was dry I filled the holes and sanded it back, sprayed over in primer and then sanded back again


The rear quarter panel on the passengers side has always been a bit dented and funny shaped, I tried to get a paintless dent removal man on the job before but to no joy. These dents have been there since I bought the car in 2005. These got filled, sanded back, primered and then sanded back again. Much happier with the quarter panel now as its straight!
There was also a bit of surface rust making its way through the paint by the quarter window so I soon knocked that on the head.


Front valance was badly scratched when I stuffed it at Combe so again, while the spray gun will be out why not!
removed the door too so the fresh painted one can be fitted. Car is booked in to the body shop just opposite my work for 21st December :-)

painting...


i bought a replacement door for the car as when i stuck mine in the tyres it was in bad shape. couple of spots on the new door got sorted.





got a layer of primer.




lower valance was badly scratched so that got flattened back and ready to paint




didnt want the inside of the door a different colour so that got sprayed




in progress stuff. wiper holes got filled and the boot sprayed








after paint,





with some bits fitted back on. need to properly align everything still







The bits sprayed were, both doors, offside wing, nearside quarter, boot and front valance. you may be able to tell that the bonnet is a different colour. I picked the bonnet up from a member and it had been sprayed a few years back but is laquered whereas my car is direct gloss. I'll be removing the bonnet for them to spray as we have enough paint left to do it and i'll get the inside of the bonnet sprayed aswell because where the bonnet was cut to fit aerocatches and throttle bodies so theres naturally surface rust.

offside rear quarter is going to get blown in so it all matches lovely.


A pair of these are going to be ordered for the fronts aswell..
